Sources in Yemen claim that the Houthis managed to shoot down another advanced American MQ-9 UAV from an Mareb district. If the report is correct - this is the sixth UAV that the Houthis have managed to shoot down since the beginning of the conflicts. The spokesman for the military wing of the Houthis announced that he would deliver an "important statement" today at 4:00 p.m. -  Amir Tsarfti Telegram

I thought these things worked from 60K feet. Heck, above 30K you’d need some sophisticated weapons.

“I thought these things worked from 60K feet. Heck, above 30K you’d need some sophisticated weapons.”

Hmmmm. Drone shot down, yet no skid marks, (almost) completely intact. Did this just drop vertically right out of the air?

That drone photo has an odor to it.

Not seeing the “shoot” part of the “down.”? Looks more like it ran out of gas? Landed straight and level? Sure glad we’re hiring video geeks to run these things. Probly went to call his Mom to bring lunch?
