US MQ-9 Reaper Drone Shot Down in Yemen. Yes, There Is VIDEO
Posted at 8:59 pm on October 2, 2017 by streiff Drones have become a critical part of the war on terror and while the Predator gets a lot of the press, one of the most capable is the MQ-9 Reaper. Its ability to stay aloft for twelve hours and to carry nearly 500-pounds of ordnance makes it a great tool for hunting down terrorists or supporting SOF operations in unfriendly territory.
A half-dozen Reapers have been lost since it entered the inventory, five in crashes and one simply decided it had had enough of the remote control crap and opted to fly away. The latter had to be shot down by a US fighter. Today we learn the first US Reaper has been lost to hostile action.
