Washington Post: US Loses 25% of Reaper Drones in Iran
The Washington Post has revealed that the U.S. military has lost approximately 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones during its involvement in the war against Iran, which amounts to 25% of its stock of these aircraft. Each drone costs between $30 million and $50 million, meaning the losses could exceed $1.3 billion. These losses highlight the significant challenges faced by American forces in the region, especially given Iran's advanced air defense systems, missile, and drone capabilities, which have led to the depletion of most of the high-precision long-range missile stockpile. This raises concerns about the depletion of America's strategic ammunition.
