The Houthi rebels shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone off the coast of Yemen on Monday, two US officials confirmed to Business Insider.
A Pentagon spokesperson said the rebels used a surface-to-air missile to take down the drone, which has not yet been recovered by the US.
The incident comes less than three months after the Houthis shot down an American Reaper drone [a 30 million dollar cost] off the coast of Yemen. The rebels also successfully downed an MQ-9 with a surface-to-air missile in June 2019
t's been a rough year for the Reaper. Over the past 12 months, Russian fighter jets have harassed and clipped the drones in Europe and the Middle East, breaking some of them and even causing others to crash — drawing frustration from the Pentagon.
Do we have a reason to bomb this poorest country in the world?
