Iran BOOMS 3 U.S MQ-9 Reaper Drones? IRGC Releases Shootdown Footage | U.S. Jets FLEE Fearing Shahed

multiple U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones were lost during intense military operations near Iran. American officials confirmed at least three drones were lost, while Iranian sources claim one was shot down by air-defense systems. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has even released footage allegedly showing a drone being hit mid-air, raising conce s about Iran’s growing ability to target high-altitude U.S. UAVs. The MQ-9 Reaper — a key surveillance and strike platform used by the U.S. military — costs up to $34 million per unit, making the losses a major strategic and financial blow. Reports also suggest one drone was deliberately crashed into the sea to prevent sensitive technology capture, while another may have been downed in friendly fire during chaotic airspace operations as Iranian missiles and drones filled the skies.
