🇾🇪⚔️🇺🇸 Yemeni Houthi’s claim to have Shot Down another United States MQ-9 Reaper Drone over the Hajjah Governorate.
Making this the 4th in the past 2 weeks and 19th Overall, Reported by Ansar Allah Spokesperson Yahya Saree.
At approximately $33 million that’s $627 Million Lost by the United States.
The #USAF operated over 300 MQ-9 Reapers as of May 2021. Several MQ-9 aircraft have been retrofitted with equipment upgrades to improve performance in "high-end combat situations", and all new MQ-9s will have those upgrades. 2035 is the projected end of the service life of the MQ-9 fleet. The average unit cost of an MQ-9 is estimated at $33 million in 2023 dollars. The Reaper is also used by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the militaries of several other countries. The MQ-9A has been further developed into the MQ-9B, which (based on mission and payload) are referred to by General Atomics as SkyGuardian or SeaGuardian.
