[BREAKING]US Loses 24 Reapers in Iran Conflict Worth $720M
>>

$720M israeli aid package was just signed moments ago for the third time this week.

I never understood why these drones weren't built with stealth tech, we are talking sloped metal sheeting for God's sake...
Because our military is full of beamers and niggers and those who graduate college are no better off.

fix fraud first before throwing another 720M at it
>>
>>532824632
They were built for COIN, less F-35 Lightning and more OV-10 Bronco
They didn't exactly expect the Taliban or al-Qaeda to be operating radar guided anti-air so it wasn't worth compromising to try to stealthify a missile truck with a lawnmower engine

What do israeli regional interests have to do with americas safety?
All you would need to keep america safe would be a few militias within the border towns, as it is almost impossible to attack due to its geographic position and immense size.

>>532824632
Because they are cheap and disposable

Because OP's title and pic is insinuating that the US lost the war because they lost a few drones. It's a pervasive mentality on this board that every US equipment loss is catastrophic while Iran's losses are a given and irrelevant.
>>
>>532826218
Its impossible to attack because we have a fuck-huge airforce and navy that would wreck anyone attempting to cross the oceans in an invasion fleet.
The mountains and shit are an added bonus.

BRICS.

The US lost the war because they didn't achieve what they wanted and Iran won because they are in a better position than when the war started.

Thats not how this works. You can't just send an "invasion fleet", you would need logistics spanning basically the entire Pacific or Atlantic to make the invasion force work, which is next to impossible.
>>
>>532826718
Look at the flag, you're replying to a jeet.
>>
>>532826718
I just explained it to you in clear English, dipshit. The "BRICS mentality" is "haha the west lost a plane! nevermind the fact that Irans entire airforce and navy are destroyed and thousands of IRGC soldiers are dead". Either learn to read or get the fuck off English speakers internet forums

The US demonstrates multiple world-spanning naval logistics fleets daily. MEU are floating invasion forces that constantly circle the globe.

30 million is the system cost including the ground station and satellite comms, as well as armament. Flyaway is closer to half that. So the number is overinflated (((for some reason))).
It's not too unreasonable though. The optical system on the chin of that thing is a work of art. Probably 2-3 million just for that.

Yes, I'm sure they'll be cheaper now that you have to replace them.

The four major objectives were to effect the immediate, complete, and unconditional withdrawal of all Iraqi forces from Kuwait, restore Kuwait's legitimate government, protect the lives of American citizens abroad, and promote the security and stability of the Persian Gulf.

The U.S. war goals in Iran, as stated by the Trump administration, included eliminating Iran’s nuclear program, destroying its ballistic missile and drone capabilities, dismantling its navy, ending its support for regional terrorist proxies, and achieving regime change.

3 out of 4 aint bad.

How often do you see price tags mentioned in reports about the gear destroyed during warfare? In the exact moment when BRICStards are going overdrive with their claims about Iran somehow getting the upper hand over the US.
Clash Report has its policy what should be posted when and it takes a side in the conflict, just like the media it quotes. It's a shitty mud brown side.

They always cite the total system costs with operational support factored in. Never flyaway costs, or the cost of the orginal system/airframe. Mostly because the numbers are public.
How much do you think it would cost to replace everything Iran lost or expended?
>>
>>532825876

Because they're now about to make 10% of their GDP in pure revenue from the new Hormuzzy toll Drumpf just granted them

It would actually be a problem if they didn't lose any MQ-9s, as it would be hard to justify the new purchase orders if the old ones worked too well.

America is opposite of their enemies. They actually get stronger and wealthier for each of their own aircraft shot down. This is because of their complicated relationship with the military industrial complex.
>>
>>532826973
How the fuck are you claiming that this is a BRICS thought process? What does that even mean? It's a random intergovernmental org and you're tying it to a south korean poster quoting clash report quoting CBS on drones being taken out in a conflict between Iran and the US?

It's not a war if there's not even ground fighting. The US and China could launch everything they have at each other and it still wouldn't be a war because even faggots can launch missiles and we all know faggots can't fight wars.

The US defense budget is one trillion PER YEAR, and Trump is pushing to raise it to 1.5 trillion. The Reapers are good piece of kit, but they're outdated now that suicide drones and saturation tactics are what's in vogue. You could buy roughly 20,000 LUCAS drones for 720 million.

Yeah, most wargames envision scenarios where Canada or Mexico get invaded first and function as logistics hubs.
This is also why both of those countries basically ignore their own militaries because they know that we would defend them if invaded just out of self-preservation.
Neither one really fears invasion from us either because Canada is already effectively a non-voting territory and annexing Mexico would be a humanitarian disaster we have no interest in.
We already invaded them 200 years ago and took the parts we wanted.

You guys have been really good at shooting shit down over the years. Did you send Iran some cool toys?

Scott Francis O'Grady (born October 12, 1965) is a former United States Air Force (USAF) fighter pilot. On June 2, 1995, he was shot down over Bosnia and Herzegovina by a 2K12 Kub (NATO designation SA-6 "Gainful") mobile surface-to-air missile (SAM) and forced to eject from his F-16C into hostile territory.

On 27 March 1999, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia amid the Kosovo War, a Yugoslav Army unit shot down a Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk stealth ground attack aircraft of the United States Air Force by firing a S-125 Neva/Pechora surface-to-air missile. It was the first ever shootdown of a stealth aircraft.
