Houthis Shot Down Fourth US MQ-9 Reaper UAV Over Yemen This Month

Another MQ-9 Reaper UAV was shot down by the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen. According to the claims by Ansar Allah, this is the eleventh MQ-9 Reaper UAV destroyed by Yemeni air defenses in the country’s airspace starting from October 7, 2023, after the beginning of Yemeni operations in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip as well as in response to recent strikes on Yemen by the United States and the United Kingdom.

MQ-9 combat drones, which cost upwards of $30 million per a unit, are primarily used to collect intelligence, but have the ability to conduct pinpoint strikes. The advanced drones can operate for more than 27 hours and reach altitudes of over 25,000 feet.

 

 

With the beginning of the escalation in the region, expensive planes began to fall too often, causing great damage to the reputation and huge losses to the US military, which is unable to withstand Houthi attacks.

This is the fourth MQ-9 Reaper drone destroyed this month. The US military acknowledged that Ansar Allah shot down two combat drones on September 10 and September 16.

U.S. Air Force Major General Pat Ryder, the Pentagon’s press secretary, tried to explain away that the claim by the Houthis that they had shot down eleven MQ-9s since the start of their campaign in November over the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave on the Gaza Strip was “not accurate.” In response, Ansar Allah movement supports its claims with footage of the wreckage, ruining the prestige of the glorified American weapons.

every fking u.s. base in iraq and syria have them. every u.s. ship in the gulf can operate them. russia didn’t hit any u.s. base or ship in the region yet so you are crying on the bad grave. ask putin why is he such an asshole that yemen can shot them down but russia not.

the americans are leaking dollars from their asses. ukraine and israel are massive liabilities with no return but the destruction of american credibility in the process. which is why it is so imperative to de dollarize and destroy the degenerated american jewish system of pedophilia, sadism and fraud…sooner rather than later. our children deserve a better future than what these vermin have to offer

houthis need to destroy mossad headquarters and aim for the hertzliya district of hell aviv where israel’s elites live. aim hypersonic missiles here at mossad headquarters: 32°08’40.0″n 34°48’15.4″e. hezbollah by now should have flattened haifa oil refinery, raphael and elbit systems headquarters and haifa port staging area that takes in oil and gas from ceyhan from turkey, leviathan sea oil rigs, urim signals base, dimona. there are plenty of targets to cripple the settler colony

america would also benefit by getting rid of the aipac lobby and mossad . whose agents actively participated in 9/11 and conduct assassinations across the usa with impunity . peace could then be restored in the mid-east and ukraine.

but the us military industrial complex celebrates every $30 million drone that gets shot down because that means another one has to be ordered at taxpayers expense. so… more profit for the us war machine!😬
