Houthis Shoot Down 4th U.S MQ-9 Reaper Drone In 14 Days (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 3:50pm On Apr 14, 2025

On April 13, Yemen's Houthi group announced that it had successfully downed another 🇺🇸 U.S MQ-9 drone, marking the 4th drone downed by Yemeni forces in the past two weeks and the 19th such incident since November 2023.

The latest strike took place in the airspace of Hajjah province, located in northwestern Yemen. The Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Sarea, made the announcement during his speech broadcast by the Houthi-controlled al-Masirah TV, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

According to Sarea, the drone was brought down using a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile. The Houthi spokesperson also emphasized that despite continued U.S. military operations in the region, the group's military capabilities remain intact.

"The ongoing U.S. aggression has not crippled our forces," Sarea stated, reaffirming the group's resilience against external military pressures.

He also reiterated the Houthis' support for the Palestinian people, asserting that their operations would continue until the "Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip stops and the siege on it is lifted."


The United States resumed its air campaign against Houthi forces on March 15, focusing on deterring attacks on U.S. and Israeli naval assets in the Red Sea. Since November 2023, the Houthis have launched multiple attacks targeting Israeli interests as part of their broader solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

The downing of the MQ-9 drone, which costs over $30 million, is part of an ongoing series of strikes that underscore the Houthis' advanced military capabilities.

In addition to targeting drones, the Yemeni forces have carried out strikes on key Israeli military sites.

This included launching two ballistic missiles, including a hypersonic missile, aimed at an Israeli military base and Ben-Gurion Airport. A Yemeni drone also targeted a vital Israeli facility in these operations.

The 🇺🇸 US wants you to think they use some special alien technology and different laws of physics.

But in reality there's no such thing. As long as the US can build such weapon, others can reverse engineer it or counter it.

Physics is physics in every part of the world.

Yes it is nice to stand up for Palestine, but the Houthis action is harming a lot of people globally...including folks who are symphatetic to the Palestinan cause.


Well what do I know. Both sides are the same anyway.

Because the mainstream networks are controlled by the U.S.

They're good at hiding such news.

Reaper drone na Ur mate ?

Fighting houthis is a losss Wen U win fight,
Mq 9 is worth 30m dolls, and those guys will use crude tools worth 1k dollars that's given them for free from Iran and bring it down.

Same thing with Israel, Yemen will send wave of cheap missiles and Israel will use multimillion dollars worth of technology to bring it down...

Those houthis are jus there to make U lose lots of money... And then hide in d mountain, Wen U send in Ur drones, they shoot it down

It is not confirmed oh.

You know the religion of peace thrives on lies, so it's believers lie alot.

Remember Lai Mohmmed
RevDesm0ndJuju:
God bless the Houthiz
God can't bless the houthis, as they touch the apple of God's eyes.

Zec 2:8 KJV For thus saith the LORD ...for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

Also anybody who curses Israel is cursed.

Gen 12:3 KJV And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

This proves the arab religion is not of God, as the religion of peace hates whom God loves.
Also shows that the God of Israel is not the arab god.

This is why the religion of peace & it's followers hate Jews & Christians.

Because you don't read from a variety of news sources...ye just watch CNN and think you OK.

CNN used to be the world leader for international news...30 years ago. Now it has hundreds of thousands of competitiors. Heck, you can even watch domestic news from other countries on Youtube.

Read from a variety of news sources. CNN cannot cover everything, neither can BBC, and they are still restricted by government mandates. So also other stations, independent media is hard to get. Hence, read wide sources...if you want the full picture.

It does. Does one understand what that man is doing?

The man wants to bring back jobs to America. The problem is, it is not possible. Unless Americans are ready to work at chinese wages which would be insufficent for life in the USA, it won't work. Then there is the problem that American companies compete globally. If manufacturing goes back to america...nature abhors a vaccum. Other manufacturers will pour in attracted by cheap chinese labour costs

Result...American companies lose money big time

Obama when president even asked late Steve Jobs directly how much apple i-phone would cost if it was made in the USA. By the time Jobs finished, Obama was shocked. It would have been more expensive. And that is sans tarrifs.

Trump is acting in the US Interest, the problem is, the solutions he is using are 100 years old. Times don change. E no go work, may even as you said cause recession. It may harm the global economy, but if the rest of the world decides to ignore the US...it may harm the US alone.

It's the god of the religion of peace not God of heaven.

God of Heaven does not reward with 72 oloshos, He is not a love-vendor.
RevDesm0ndJuju:

The God of creation loves Israel, while the god of the black stone hates Israel, the two are different.

The God of Israel does not have a pedophile as a prophet, unlike the god of the black stone

Shoot down drones and keep counting their losses. One drone is equal to 200 Houthi fighters' lives. So who's the real loser here?
