Earlier this month, an article published in The Washington Post reported that during the military operations against Iran, the Americans lost about a quarter of all the weapons they had. drones MQ-9 Reapers. Considering there were 185 of them before the war, this is a huge number. For the US, such losses are extremely painful, as the cost of each such UAV ranges from $30 to $50 million, depending on the "interior," that is, the installed equipment and weapons. This means that by losing approximately 45 Reapers, the Americans suffered losses amounting to well over $1 billion.

Iran's actions were a response to US aggression. Yesterday, US forces attacked two Iranian missile launchers on Lark Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

Were they left with another choice? It's more likely the US screwed up here. They didn't calculate their response. More precisely, they didn't calculate the possible closure of Hormuz. Or they thought they could keep it open, but it didn't work out that way.

If a good brother-in-law killed a mother and father, a brother, a sister, a grandson, or an only child, then the Persians' actions make sense! A very restrained one...

It's just that Iran's leadership has no relatives or assets in the West. So they shoot down everything they can, while we, over the Black Sea, merely state the facts.

Iran is at war with America, but we are not. We have a collaboration - we give them resources, they give our data to the dicks.
We have too many dollars at home, what if the Americans say that dollars with such-and-such numbers are INVALID?! We'll have to light the stove... (sarcasm)

ready made scrap on the same parr as Abrams tanks

since the cost of each such UAV varies from 30 to 50 million dollars, depending on the “filling”, that is, the installed equipment and weapons.

A minus for Trump. Congress will count all this for him. Right up to the center.
We are waiting for reports of accidents (accidental), clogged toilets and fires in bedrooms on mattress ships and boats.

Today, citing military sources, the WSJ reported that Iran shot down 41 Reapers. They really did a great job of decimating the Yankees. And we're all watching as they target us with UAVs along Crimea and Kaliningrad.

These are partners!

[alexputnik17]

They've already knocked down more than one or two of them, and we just pour kerosene on them and are embarrassed about something. True, we pour it quite professionally!

[Irek]

Moreover, they dropped this crow with a cheap rocket.

[1944-1989]

And it's damn good that it is so.

[Stepnyak]

Now that's what they call REAL DELIGHT!!! That's how it should be, it turns out! And it was possible, after all.

[kill the fascist]

The reapers are well plucked. I don't think they're produced anymore.

[Lauren]

And how the Reapers breathed, how they breathed. They were so elevated that there was nowhere further to go! And they fall, like all the Amerz's iron.

[kill the fascist]

Everything goes wrong. The only positive thing about the Reapers is that they don't lose a pilot.

[Lauren]

No, no problem. Good job guys, don't listen to the Americans.

41 Reapers shot down by Iran

It would be good if they also shot down an F-35.

[Fishmashin]

Well done Persians, the more Reapers they land, the less work we'll have later, no pasaran

[Derbenev Anton]

Well done Persians, the more "Reapers" they land, the less work we will have later,

Is someone shooting them down over the Black Sea?
The appearance of American MQ-9 Reaper or RQ-4 Global Hawk reconnaissance drones in neutral airspace over the Black Sea precedes missile attacks or UAV raids on targets in Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory.
On August 3, 2026, a Ukrainian drone crashed directly onto a beach in the village of Arkhipo-Osipovka near Gelendzhik, killing seven people, including three children, and injuring 47 others to varying degrees.

[Fishmashin]

The team will be there, they will land, by that time the fewer of them there are, the less work our operators will have.

What year is this planned for?
