The 🇺🇸 US military has lost 11 MQ-9 Reaper drones during the US-Israel war on Iran, according to US officials cited by CBS News, marking one of the most significant equipment losses of the war. Two additional drones were recently shot down, bringing the total number destroyed to 11. The total cost of the lost aircraft is estimated at more than $330 million. MQ-9 Reaper drones are unmanned aerial vehicles used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, as well as precision strike operations. However, defence officials say the aircraft are easier to target in environments with advanced air defence systems. TRT World || CBS News 10 Likes

That's war. Iran and its allies are focusing on "cost war" to trigger outrage back home. The losses so far won't dent America. They spent about 2 trillion dollars in Afghanistan alone. They spend trillions on defense equipment they never get to use. Making use of these weapons in the war against terror is a huge win. 😁 61 Likes 4 Shares |

madridguy:Most of those weapons will erase a significant portion of Iran's population. Is that what you want? Lets keep the bragging low and the casualties low as well. Please and Tenqu. Lol. 25 Likes 1 Share |

madridguy:You stopped commenting because you were mourning Khamenei senior. Lol. Are you saying the weapons cannot erase Iran's population? How many high damage offensive weapons have been used against Iran? The cost of a dismantling a regime such as Iran is always higher because you are largely on the defensive as you push for precision strikes to counter their own offensive. The only other option is to fire at will into Iran which is a no no. The last was Japan and hopefully will remain so. 21 Likes |

NothingDoMe: IPOB & ESN were also designated terror groups by Nigerian government. Kurdish militias backed by US & Britain are also designated as a terror group in Turkey and Iran. Iran also designated European Union armies as a terror group. 24 Likes 1 Share |

Those are toys. Their many varieties operating in Iran skyes. The war has gone beyond M-series drones. a minimum of 50 Israeli war planes parade Iran sky per minutes. Don't even add US 100 to it. 4 Likes |

WriterrNg:So because na national Army them nor fit be terrorist organization? Never knew these two "positions" are mutually exclusive. 😅 So because they did not bomb Nigeria they cannot be designated as a terrorist organization? See the reasons why Australia, designated them a terrorist organization. You should be careful with your support for them if you live in Australia as you risk a jail term of 25 years. 😁 10 Likes 1 Share

hotwax: 11 drones shot down in just 10 days. You can imagine how many they'll have left on the 90th day or 150th day. By the way there are no Israeli or US jet in Iran's skies. The furthest they can reach is the Iraq border due to Iranian air defense coverage. I dare you to prove me wrong. 16 Likes 1 Share |
