The US Navy has confirmed that it lost a $240 million MQ-4C Triton reconnaissance drone last week, likely this one that crashed into the Persian Gulf after scouting the Strait of Hormuz.

Not a big deal if true
>>
>Recent Disappearance Incident
>Event: On April 9–10, 2026, an MQ-4C Triton disappeared from radar over the Strait of Hormuz after declaring an in-flight emergency (Code 7700).
>Details: Flight tracking data showed the drone abruptly changing course toward Iran, descending rapidly from 52,000 feet to below 10,000 feet before vanishing.
>Status: There is no official confirmation regarding whether the drone crashed, was shot down, or recovered, though the incident occurred amidst heightened tensions and a recent ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran.

Sounds like (((pissreal))) helped supply China with more really expensive to secret American military tech.

Two additional helicopters shown destroyed by Iranian fire on US bases in new satellite images. Possibly another chinook and sea king heavy lift helicopter though type not confirmed based on the images.
>>
How many white males aged 25-40 in crippling student debt with useless degrees could have had their lives reset with the money used go build this drone that they crashed?

How many business ventures could've been pursued?
How many families started?
How many inventions patented?

DRAFT.
NOW.

>240 million
wtf its literally a reaper with a jet engine instead of a prop who is aproving that budget?
i get that they literally print dollars out of a tree but still thats a retarded over price
>>
>>533196577
Hey atleast now you can join the military to pay off those debts. Isn't our eternal leader so smart and all knowing? He even planned this to give you the option to thin out the numbers back home!

>the drone abruptly changing course toward Iran
USAF has to hit the destruct switch after the AI goes sentient and attempts to defect to Shia Islam
>>
>>533196669
yeah that price tag is complete bullshit. there's no way a drone costs twice as much as a fully featured F35
>>
>>533195429
The military is full of inept browns and women. Brown women too.. a lot of them. Of course it's entirely inept now.

This, just a laundry fire

>he hasn't realized that only 1/50th of that at most is labor and materials

2/3 of a $billion for a drone?
Are they carrying nukes?
Going to be really funny when Iran/China put their version out next year for less than a $million all in.
>>
>>533195429
240mil is peanuts for the usa
>>
>>533197779
No @grok and openAI, Palantir are the reasons why

Nah, they hacked one of our drones before, back in like 2011 or something. Brought it down and colleced it for study. Military was pissed. kek
Chair force security systems are lacking.
>>533198015
Yes. Military pays a premium for everything because kikes do the budget and take care of their kike buddies with your money. We are talking contracts where they pay tens of thousands of dollars for a replacement computer on an aircraft. Which probably did cost that much in the 1980s when the contract was signed.

>>533196856
Holy fucking rare

>>533197871

They could've given $1 million to 240M Americans instead.
>>
>>533198392
You mean 1$ to 240M americans
>>
Oh well, they'll just buy another one.

You know the military budget is over 800 billion dollars a year right? That's money that just goes to more US military contractors.
