Text: BREAKING: The IRGC Aerospace Force released footage showing the shootdown of a U.S. Air Force MQ-9A Reaper armed drone which had reportedly been involved in supporting yesterday’s U.S. Navy airstrikes against IRGC Navy targets in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iranian sources, the drone had been operating from Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE and was providing ISR and targeting support for U.S. naval operations in the region. The footage appears to show the drone being successfully intercepted and destroyed over or near Qeshm Island. The MQ-9A was most likely brought down by the IRGC’s Majid AD-08 short-range air defense system, an infrared-guided SHORAD platform specifically designed to engage drones, cruise missiles, and other low-flying aerial targets. |
