Iran Proxy FLAUNTS ‘Ninja Bomb’ After SHOOTING Down U.S MQ-9 Spy Drone; Puts Wreckage on Display

Another American MQ-9 Reaper drone has reportedly been shot down over weste Yemen in an incident claimed by Iran-backed Houthi forces. Images and videos circulating online appear to show wreckage bearing markings linked to the advanced U.S. hunter-killer drone. Analysts examining the debris say fragments also resemble parts of AGM-114R9X Hellfire missiles, known as the “Ninja Bomb” for using blades instead of explosives during precision strikes. The MQ-9 Reaper plays a major role in American intelligence, surveillance, and targeted operations, with each aircraft valued at tens of millions of dollars. The incident highlights growing threats to U.S drone warfare capabilities
