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.
Why?? Just why?
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.
3rd in a week? Doubt.
What is a “loitering” SAM?
US and Turkey š¤š» 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.Ā
Now doubt they then broke out into a spirited Woolah-Woolah dance…
Houthis are declared a terrorist organization by the US Gov in Jan 2024. So why is there such a clip here?
The slogan of the houthis, that can be read in this clip is:
God is the Greatest Death to America Death to Israel A curse upon the Jews Victory to Islam
So why is this clip here?
Always wonder what the dudes sitting back at the desk in the middle of the desert do when this happensā¦do you slam down the headset? Throw your controller? Look back at your boss and shrug?
Im not sure but it looks like poppy plants all around them. Guess thats a source of funding
I would like to think they’d be able to shoot down large slow moving drones designed to operate in air supremacy conditions lmao
$30 million a popā¦
Why can’t the USA send another drone to the exact location of the crashed drone and kill all of the enemies who are in the crash site? Like u kill the enemy and destroy any evidence
Control room is probably like… dammit Dave not another one, ok send up another.
F for drones family in chat.
Seems like we know where to target. Just find the location of the downed reaper. When the people gather to celebrate their kill, just send in a few missiles, or should we call them candles, to help them celebrate? XD
