Houthis shot down MQ-9 reaper over yemen with the 358 loitering SAM last night (this is the third reaper shot down in a week and the thirteenth since October)

So the US just keeps feeding reapers into the huthis AA?

That’s a shame. This is stupid, but compared to Ukraine not being allowed to hit Russia targets, it is almost smart.

Only 32 million or so apiece. Pocket change compared to what we have spent launching missles and aircraft, and keeping ships at sea in that area. I suppose my universal health care is more unlikely than ever.

I’m not a fan of the IDF, but when they went after Yemen they did it right. We seem to just pin prick things, whereas the Israelis just blew up their ability to make any money.
We should turn the lights off – permanently in any Houthi occupied area. Blockaide the country, and take out ALL government facilities. Scud hunting in the desert is a waste of time..

There needs to be a change in AF leadership, waste of resources and poor leadership. We are sending these drones to a shooting gallery.

US and Turkey 🤝🏻 losing drones to Iranian supplied militants. 13th for US, 4th for Turkey so far.

I wish they could somehow get a RWR on the mq9 and some flares and chaff on them too to give them a countermeasure atleast

people dont know how to count or what i learned to count mq reaper drones with my fingers and ive yet to run out of fingers counting houthie interceptions on drones with actual evidence. its just like russia claiming they have taken out like 200 abrams tanks or the tanks before they even arrived hahaha so no evidence then it didn’t happen. the last 2 they claimed they shot down but put out no footage no evidence at all ofc if they had they would have posted evidence like this one.

Well, hope those dudes rummaging around in that wreckage enjoy having like 37 different kinds of cancer that they are now going to have from touching and breathing all that in.
