MQ-9 Reaper: The Most Feared U.S. Air Force Drone in Action
MQ-9 Reaper: The Most Feared U.S. Air Force Drone in Action
Manufacturer: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.
Service: USAF Armament: Combination of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, GBU-12 Paveway II and GBU-38 JDAM Propulsion: Honeywell TPE331-10GD turboprop engine Speed: 230 mph Range: 1,150 miles Crew: Two (pilot and sensor operator)
The MQ-9 Reaper is the primary offensive strike unmanned aerial vehicle for the U.S. Air Force. Given its significant loiter time, wide-range sensors, multi-mode communications suite, and precision weapons — it provides a unique capability to perform strike, coordination, and reconnaissance against high-value, fleeting, and time-sensitive targets.
Reapers can also perform the following missions and tasks: intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, close air support, combat search and rescue, precision strike, buddy-laser, convoy/raid overwatch, route clearance, target development, and terminal air guidance.
The Reaper is part of a remotely piloted aircraft system. A fully operational system consists of several sensor/weapon-equipped aircraft, ground control station, Predator Primary Satellite Link, and spare equipment along with operations and maintenance crews for deployed 24-hour missions.
The basic crew consists of a rated pilot to control the aircraft and command the mission, and enlisted aircrew member to operate sensors and weapons as well as a mission coordinator, when required. To meet combatant commanders’ requirements, the Reaper delivers tailored capabilities using mission kits containing various weapons and sensor payload combinations.
The MQ-9 baseline system carries the Multi-Spectral Targeting System, which has a robust suite of visual sensors for targeting. The MTS-B integrates an infrared sensor, color/monochrome daylight TV camera, image-intensified TV camera, laser designator, and laser illuminator. The full-motion video from each of the imaging sensors can be viewed as separate video streams or fused.
The unit also incorporates a laser range finder/designator, which precisely designates targets for employment of laser-guided munitions, such as the Guided Bomb Unit-12 Paveway II. The Reaper is also equipped with a synthetic aperture radar to enable future GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions targeting. The MQ-9 can also employ four laser-guided missiles, Air-to-Ground Missile-114 Hellfire, which possess highly accurate, low-collateral damage, anti-armor and anti-personnel engagement capabilities.

中国も似た兵器もってます！技術者の中に内通者がいますね！アメリカも技術の流出にもっと厳密にすることが重要ですね！大変ですね！
realy shoot or exercise?
Носители "демократии" мать вашу. На каждую хитрую попу всегда найдётся пися с винтом
Ordinary people do their ordinary job.

Yemen , afghanistan and iraq kids babies women and innocent poeple who were killed by drone attack are very grateful for the american nation
There is nothing sexier than a woman in uniform handling live ordinance!
…most feared?…hahaha!…the Iranians brought one diwn and reverse engineered it…wow!
Qua vn tao lấy tầm vông chọc rớt cho xem

The most feared US drone by third world country’s
friendly UAV overhead
Don’t understand.. Why show it.?
But now Turkish Chinese drones are far better than American and Israeli Drones
Какая чёткая и слаженная работа наземного обслуживающего персонала !!!
How much would one of these fuckers run you, assuming you had the plug to buy one? Lmao
They need to make an HE anti-personel Hellfire instead of using an Anti Armour warhead. Doesn’t do enough damage to surrounding targets
Gostaria de ver o BRASIL Operado uns desses 20 já tá bom
Хуямба
It would seem if the enemy had an air defense system w/ radar and anti-aircraft capabilities this would be an easy target. It is fairly slow and not capable of extreme evasive maneuvers, so it seems it would be most useful where there would be no radar – and even better at night. I would imagine it would be able to stay aloft for a fair amount of time, so surveillance would be a good use.
radio active-industry once ground zero man…so hype brilliant Malaysian concept what kine i said Jakarta most Tiny’s state in the world..
i foresee WW3 in the near future, because when we are so proud of a killing machine, we have lost our humanity.

They are saints. Forgot sanskrit. 🤣
Then they say. Babylonian scripts are sumerian. 🤣
Psstt. I know exactly who you are. How’s that hatred of dark skin in you. Still. Good and kicking. Patriot. 🤣
I love their hate. 🤣
Миг 41 это уже прошлое есть твердая уверенность ( инсайд ) что ведутся работы над универсальной платформой ( разведчик, истребитель-перехватчик , штурмовик-бомбардировщик ) 7 поколения на новых физических принципах с возможностью телепортации на 8-10 т.км сразу в тыл врага после атаки мгновенно может вернуться на базу вот тогда им кирдык будет а с нами бог !!!
Взлетел и летит! А, где ракеты? Лапшу на уши вешают!
Классный бомбардировщик, главное экипаж не нужен.
Xin chao
Слава США! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌️
Nên chế tạo cho máy bay này tự huỷ khi mất liên lạc để tránh rơi vào tay trung quốc và các nước khác

Phần mô tả ghi trần bay là 15.000 km là sai. Trần bay của nó là 15.000 mét thôi. Với lại giá con này 64 triệu USD đắt gấp 1,7 lần su30mk2 của VN

As a Air Force Vet from the 60’s why are people aloud to be so over weight. Even into the 80;s we had a weight limit to meet and a physical test to pass every year or where put on the fat boy program. Not happening anymore ?
