🇾🇪 Yemen’s Houthi rebels, also known as Ansarallah, shot down the 12th American MQ-9 Reaper UAV over Yemen on Friday morning, according to eyewitness accounts, marking an escalation in the Houthis' attacks targeting US drones.

Videos circulating online showed the drone appearing to be ablaze before crashing in Yemen’s Al-Jawf province.

The US military confirmed awareness of the footage and stated it was investigating the incident without disclosing further details about the type of aircraft involved.

The drone is believed to be an MQ-9, a model that costs approximately $28 million per unit, according to the Congressional Research Service. This drone type can reach altitudes of up to 50,000 feet and can remain airborne for 24 hours.

The US military and the CIA have deployed drones like the MQ-9 for surveillance over Yemen for years. The Houthis reportedly have ground-to-air missiles, including Iranian-manufactured "358" missiles, capable of downing such aircraft.

Military analysts say the downing of an American drone reflects the Houthis’ advancing air defense capabilities.

No official statement was released by Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree, although the group has historically described such actions as defensive measures against “hostile acts.” The US Central Command (CENTCOM) also refrained from commenting on the incident.

Just like the US failed in Afghanistan
They have also failed to contain the Houthis in Yemen🇾🇪. The Houthis have successfully blockaded the Red Sea.
When you tell US and Israeli fanboys that having annual military budget of 800billion dollars does not translate to combat effectiveness/success/victory they will disagree.

Overpriced flying caskets, reasonable countries are buying cheap and reliable weaponry from China, India, Turkey, France.
No wonder Ukraine are losing more men and territory against Russia because they depend on weapons from America.

Houthis exposing the uselessness of the Jewish controlled Military Industrial Complex as being a monumental scam with its overpriced wunderwaffen crap.
