Iran has claimed that its forces shot down four MQ-9 Reaper drones, aircraft widely used for long-endurance surveillance and precision strike missions.<\/p>\n
Tehran has also asserted that it has brought down more than 150 drones of various types since the conflict with the US began, including around 30 MQ-9 Reapers, though these claims have not been independently verified.<\/p>\n
The MQ-9 Reaper is among the world\u2019s most well-known military drones, capable of monitoring targets for extended periods, gathering intelligence over vast areas and carrying out precision attacks without placing a pilot at risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iran has claimed that its forces shot down four MQ-9 Reaper drones, aircraft widely used for long-endurance surveillance…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":213639,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[89,62072,141,60742,50619,5171,60744,34,13005,2107,1897,60741,60743,1747,9567,18641,187,13934,6871,1403,8290,69,41175,59815,21033,46808,21781,3294,49054,60740],"class_list":["post-213638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tehran","tag-ayatollah-ali-khamenei","tag-brent-crudeupdates","tag-centcom","tag-donald-trump-live-news","tag-fordow-nuclear-site","tag-gulf-tensions","tag-hormuz-ship-attacks","tag-iran","tag-iran-missile-attack","tag-iran-nuclear-programme","tag-iran-retaliation","tag-iran-us-conflict-live","tag-iran-warns-decisive-action","tag-iran-israel-conflict","tag-iranian-military","tag-isfahan-nuclear-site","tag-middle-east-war","tag-natanz-nuclear-facility","tag-oil-prices-today","tag-pentagon","tag-strait-of-hormuz-attacks","tag-tehran","tag-tehran-breaking-news","tag-tehran-latest-news","tag-trump-iran-strikes","tag-us-airstrikes-on-iran","tag-us-iran-latest-news","tag-us-iran-war-live-updates","tag-us-military-operation","tag-us-strikes-on-iran-live"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213638\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
