Im proud my country is such close allies with the US, much love from Australia! we will always stand with our American brothers 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸

As the years go by the more I appreciate being neighbors with the U.S.A......cheers from Oshawa Canada. (Detroit's frostbitten cousin up north)

We had the MQ-9 B Protecter doing a test flight at RAF Waddington the base for the 2 RAF Squadrons that oporaite the Reaper a while ago. Very impressive

An amazing USA 🇺🇸 aircraft using an amazing UK 🇬🇧 engine, allies working together !!

Reaper is a very nice submarine nowadays.

Warning! Do not piss on them! It may cause a crush.

Reaper is such a fitting name for drones tbh

Thank You Team! Way to indentify a gap fill opportunity! Good Eye!

How's watching after yaman huthi's downed 1 ?

So dangerous it can be knocked down without even being shot at😂

The MQ-9 Reaper is the primary offensive strike unmanned aerial vehicle for the U.S. Air Force. it provides a unique capability to perform strike, coordination, and reconnaissance against high-value, fleeting, and time-sensitive targets.

Awesome Aircraft, Thanks Sam. 👍 🇺🇸

US Army Equipments and Aircrafts are always expensive but worth it..👍

Nice job, General Atomics!

Let's be honest, the reaper and the USAF are next level, you wouldn't want to mess with this lot!

i like this and its not a game or a joke. 🇺🇸

I think the problem with the Reaper is what to do when it is being attacked.

wow ... nice piece

My favorite drone the Reaper

Sounds super innocent and just taking a few pictures for the scrapbook 😂

They should put 360 degree cameras on one drone so it can provide real time GPS coordinates for 10 targets at once. Then use guided MRLS and longer range HIMARS to take out the targets 10 at a time. Multiply that by 100 surveillance drones across the battle space and you take out 1,000 light and heavy military targets in a matter of minutes.

wow ..looking deadly

Everybody gangsta until the SU-27 started to piss!

Build more!

The king of all unmanned drone

It is the best in Hollywood movies and youtube videos. Not in warzone yet.

That landing... so buttery.

Who's watching after Russia downed 1?

He was shot down (or rather, rammed) by a Russian Su-27

Excelente felicitaciones , seria mucho mejor si colocan en el Video Traduccion AUTOMATICA AL ESPAÑOL Y OTROS

Can it swim too?

An Amazing US military hardware Go USA 🇺🇸

Russia says thanks for the new tech.

Thanks!

Yes indeed. Awesome drone.

I think Air Force one should have a couple deployable attack drones for protection

I've been in the room at Creech AFB where the drones are operated from. I was delivering components from a crashed unit to them and I was gawking at the drones sitting in the hanger while someone was doing the paperwork. They invited me to see the room that is frequently on TV with what looks like a bunch of Atari 2600s.

God bless America!!!!!

Cool !!

It's Beautiful from a native American Male, AZ.

Yes but all we need too do os get there attention thank u 👍👍👍

That is sweet

It was downed by Su-27

I always think these would work really well in anti pirate operations off the Horn of Africa.

That's a nice aircraft

Could these drones be disabled by netting or tangling the spinning rotor blades

Who's here after Black Sea collision?

I can see these drones having huge potential.

Power power power power power power power 💪

Totally unreal

Watching this after Yemen just downed it's 3rd MQ-9 in last few months. 🤣🤣🤣🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽💨

March 14.2023: Greetings from Russia 😂

I'm sure this has been discussed, but watching this video makes me wonder if there might not be a transition to pilotless military aircraft. The weight saved by eliminating what is required for an aviator/pilot could, instead, be used for additional defensive or offensive equipment.

the american military complex just somehow comes up with the coolest most effective and the cutting edge(might i add the most expensive too🚨) in weapons very satisfied to learn we'll be buying 31 of these reaper drones

Any news of fitting the AIM 120D with reaper?

Who is watching after Yemen downed 1?

It ain't schit, spotted it last night flying over where I live. Heard it before I seen it and he was probably 3000ft. What bugged me out is when I spotted it i yelled to my brotha to come outside he had no clue to what it was I told him thats the mq9 reaper drone and then all the lights cut out and you could hear the prop spinning. So if I can hear you before I see you, your drone ain't schit pretty quite where I'm at not commercial a.c. around couldn't see lights but heard that thing from a mile away. Sorry for the long comment just wanted to tell my experience with seeing this thing fly over. I wonder if it heard my yell to my bro and cut its lights out after that?

I am very much pleased for India getting such types of sophisticated weapons from the Uncle SAM.❤❤🙏🙏

ये कुछ खास नहीं है, भारत में इससे 1000 गुना अधिक पावरफुल ड्रोन तैयार हो रहा।

This $150 + millions was sended to the bottom of Black Sea by Russian "crazy" Jet Pilots. Russians came from behind very close and suddenly accelerating forward and up. And American drone fall like a stone down to the sea. Russian did NOT use any munitions. After saying "good bye" to the drone, Russian Jets SU land safely to their land airport. After that everyone laughed about that rendezvous...

MQ-9 Reaper launching from ships is interesting, but there was no mention of landing on a ship.

Yes i seen this in black sea video

Suggestion: add to it some four switchblade 300 and two 600

now it is a joke

The scientist wanted aluminum magnets in 1980 for this drone. We laughed our heads off,

Brutality

At the war you can create high capacity signal jammers for air drones remote signal crash, ex. Lot of commercial drones are use satellite signals , so in some areas you can jam the signals or create new remote signals to jam original controller for drone's, don't ask how. find out yourself to save your people's. In near future drones can be hedech to the world.

Just watched one of those to explode by Yemen. That did not look so scary.

A Beast :) Will it need break-cables for landing on the carrier decks, when it returns ?

OBILIVION !!!! TAKE OUT THE SATILITE AND THE DRONES ARE SMASHED,!!!!! love the movies.

I thought the MQ9 Reaper used Honeywell’s TPE-331 turbojet engine. Must be a number of variations.

Mw3 has killstreak based on this? One of the best kill streaks in cod history

Great aircraft my suggestion is don't let anybody else get it but us

Is this the dame type thst USA sunk in the sea when a Russian jet visited?

They might actually be better off. by supplying Ukraine long range armed drones in significant quantity in the near term, rather than fighter Jets. i.e. like the Reaper drone etc... These could be deployed far sooner. i.e. within 3 to 6 months. The Reaper drone has a payload capacity of 362.8kg. Thus it could carry 100 GPS guided switchblade 300s at 2.7 kg each, plus the weight of a rotary drone deployment cartridge system. Basically meaning that it could be deployed against 100 light armoured vehicles with a 90% hit rate. Thus it could destroy or disable 90 vehicles in one sortie, with near zero risk to the remotely situated pilot. They could also have it able to deploy the Phoenix Ghost drone and Switchblade 600s for destroying heavier targets. This could extend the range of these weapons, as the reaper has an 1,800 km total range, thus about 700km each way allowing for a 20% fuel reserve. This effectively means your switchblade 300 gets an extended target range of 700km, plus it's original 40 km range, thus totalling 740km, there about. That effectively means they could cover almost the entire country of Ukraine from Kyiv using this Mother drone ship tactic. They could take off from roads and of course runways, thus making them less easy to detect etc... With some software tweaking, they could incorporate Tesla style drive auto pilot for taking off from roads etc...

The first bomb to be dropped from a plane was in 1911. This warfare was extensively used in the many wars that arose during the 20th Century. The US first used a weaponized drone was in Afghanistan in 2001 shortly after 9/11. This advancement in technology allows for bombing by remote piloting, which has a psychological effect on the remote pilot and the people on the ground. Drones can be used in a Balanced way. "To say that drones are media apparatuses points not only to their capacity to represent and communicate data, but also to the constitutive role within drone systems that of mediation, defined as a vital process of informational and energetic transformation between materials, systems and subjects" (Richardson 2023). There are many ways that drones are utilized, offering a wide variety of information: pictures, videos, surveillance, entertainment, etc. But drone warfare narrows that use to one thing: to destroy and kill. "Militarised drones are martial media, with their structures and logics direct towards lethal surveillance" (Richardson 2023). The use of drones seriously lacks Attitude Awareness, however. The military looks at the advantage of drones as putting zero American lives at risk when drone bombing a target; however, the mental impact on the remote pilots of the drones is ignored. It can be compared to a video game. When playing a video game, you kill other players. For the operators of these drones, those people you kill are killed in real life. The use of drones is also Motivated and Relevant to Experience because the remote pilots who operate said drones do this often and have been trained for the purpose of remotely bombing targets, and could not be done without this experience. Very often, drone strikes are widely inaccurate. "In doing so, drone war’s algorithmic systems enfold the production of trauma through the decision to kill into a zone of indistinction and inscrutability, in which chance, error, probability and potential collide in ways that cannot be legible and knowable to humans" (Richardson 2023). There are many civilian casualties, which does not uphold The Dignity of the Human Person, as these risks are known and pushed aside. Drones, and all air raids for that matter, are not completely Truth-Filled. Throughout history, warfare has always been a level playing field. Its like football. The Chiefs might be better in every way than the Eagles, and Eagles fans can go cry about it, but it's a fair game. But if the Chiefs played a hard and heroic game on the ground while the Eagles flew around on unicorns, no one in their right mind (that by default excludes Eagles fans as they have no brain) would call that fair. In the same way, it's not completely truth-filled to drop bombs on the enemy. Using militarized drones is arguably Inspiring. Drones have been used for various reasons. Many terrorists and leaders of ISIS, including key figures in 9/11, have been killed from drone strikes, and many Americans have been inspired to join the military and stand up for their country. There is no doubt that weaponized drones are Skillfully Developed. The technology that is needed to make and operate these drones is an incredible advancement in the industry. "Increasingly autonomously weapons systems also mean more media-saturated warfare, with sensors, algorithms, networks and interfaces shaping more of the material media (atmospheres, terrains, buildings, oceans) through which bullets, missiles and other munitions travel" (Richardson 2023).

Ok,they can get airborne off of amphib carriers...but what about landing on one ? Are they able to stop without a hook ?

Amount of innocent civilians killed is terrifying.

The most dangerous ... until he meets Russian pilots who got bored in the evening

Awesome, how long can it stay airborne ?

whats with the orange ribbons early on in the video (Coming from the missiles)

MQ really would have compacting wing and ability to hide underwater 🎉

If I saw one of these coming at me, I WOULD pi$$ myself! Seriously, this is the scariest-looking aircraft that we have ever produced. ~ Right out of a new Bruckheimer sci-fi film.😱😱

Love love

What is the MINIMUM flying speed of the MQ-9?

LOL literally got downed by su 27 by simply pissing oil at it LMAO

YEMEN YA DESTRUYÓ UNO DE ESTOS DRONES...

Despite many who deny it, I believe drones will be standard. Key point of this arguement?. I don't think they will completey replace manned aircraft,but will begin to out number them.

Do a comparison between Switchblade and Phoenix Ghost.

It remains to be seen of this can survive against advanced air defenses. Looks like Russia has been having success against Bayraktar UAVs as there aren't that many drone videos unlike at the start of the war.

Anyone here after russian plane caused a Reaper to take a dive by urinating on it?

I have two. I love them.

Hello from yemen 💀

I'd like to see a laser as an upgrade

Why not let the Ukrainians take it thru the process the data would be invaluable...and you can check if the weapons systems will work as advertised ...as a matter of fact you could park a carrier outside the Black Sea and fly them from there...what a sweet idea I somtimes surprise myself

Peace through superior firepower

I hope soon in my country Poland :)

Now it's no longer dangerous. The first one has already been destroyed.

MQ reaper down by Russia like a toy drone by 1 hit 😂😂😂 This drone is dangerous only on UKposts 😅

The Best thing about the MQ-9 REAPER Drone is, It can be flown effectively by a 12 year old Gamer from his mums basement.
