MQ-9 REAPER: The Most Dangerous Military Drone on Earth
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2022
- The Air Force MQ-9 REAPER drone will live to fight another day, or thousands of days, due to a clear service plan to employ the platform for at least the next fifteen years. The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (sometimes called PREDATOR B) is an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems primarily for the United States Air Force.

Reaper is such a fitting name for drones tbh
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

US Army Equipments and Aircrafts are always expensive but worth it..👍
Yeah, For accidently blowing up civilians and children on front lines
Yeah we see yesterday how worth it when Russians just piss on your drone 😂
Not, if they get pissed on by old Soviet aircraft!
It was shot down in yemen by a missile worth $4,000 😂😂😂😂

Привет из Крыма, птичка😄
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.
I think it is completely the opposite: it's way too slow and vulnerable to fly against super sonic & agile fighter jets & major radar sites (which has much faster & more powerful defensive missiles than the smaller one carried by fighter jets) ...
But two of these things, with high resolution cameras --- ultra cheap killer & surveillance machines, compared to the $100M to $130M F-2=35 B and C they're protecting ---- could float nicely above US Navy battle groups and US ships 24/7, in a 50-100 mile radius concentric circles & it'd be next to impossible for enemies to stealthily fly past them on their way to bombing aircraft carriers and the billion dollar jets parked on them. They basically serve as "trigger wires."
If they fly 50 - 100 miles in radius of concentric circles, & 50,000 feet up, they'd see hundreds of miles into the horizon, 360. Protecting a battle group of around $25B worth of weapons systems with two dirt cheap unmanned killer drones that could do 23 hours of flight with full weapons load... nothing beats it!
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 so basically what the dude said. It is the primary unmanned aerial vehicle of the US, which has unique capabilities. I don't know how you think it is (completely?) the opposite, or how you think it isn't unmanned, or deployable in situations where other equipment would do a better (or more efficient) job.
Tested in combat against camels, and madmax level toyotas. The airdefense of afgan cavemans got zero chance against them
It's $300k worth of remote control junk with a $30mil price tag
In short:- expensive piece of shiit

Well, there is no way to make a drone right now that could have survived that intact.
@@dinho890ithat drone would have fucked that jet, but they choose not to because unlike Ivan, Americans have at least some brain
@Umu-San yup. People also don't seem to realize that the drone probably didn't have weapons. Plus if it fired weapons at the jet, then it's an act of war
@BFB MTB let's also set that the Reaper is essentially a tactical bomber and surveillance, propeller drone. It isn't intended to kill jets. It would be against U.S. Air superioridity doctrine to begin with.
Everybody gangsta until the SU-27 started to piss!
Fun fact. It's physically impossible for a squad of F-22s to fight a squad of SU-27s. Know why? There aren't enough capable of flight to make a squadron.
Everyone gangster until they fuck with the wrong woman!
Yes indeed. Awesome drone.

Especially under the Black Sea.
Oh really? The Russians have already lost at least 200,000 troops from fighting in Ukraine. They have run out of ammunition, manpower, missiles and tanks. The Russian Military is an absolute joke.
That is sweet
Let's be honest, the reaper and the USAF are next level, you wouldn't want to mess with this lot!
Agree, especially around Black Sea!
Russians didnt think so
Yes, every next level technology is propeller driven. Cutting edge right there. Worth every penny of the 30 mil per.

The Russians truly proved no one messes with the reaper 😂😂
@@tivmego definitely they were so made they kamikazed it they learned something from the Japanese 😂
Hello from yemen 💀
Could these drones be disabled by netting or tangling the spinning rotor blades
Thanks!
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.
Yay, Raytheon! Woo Hoo, Lockheed. Let's all starve!
Totally unreal

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...

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).
YEMEN YA DESTRUYÓ UNO DE ESTOS DRONES...

I hope soon in my country Poland :)
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?
They normally operate at 40-50,000 feet. You’re not going to hear it when it’s up there.
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.
I am very much pleased for India getting such types of sophisticated weapons from the Uncle SAM.❤❤🙏🙏
I always think these would work really well in anti pirate operations off the Horn of Africa.
They fly them out of camp Chabely, Djibouti, though I don't know if it's these very ones.
There is a difference between youtube video and reality. If it were true, Vladmirovitch would have left Ukraine.
Peace through superior firepower
No peace just world domination
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
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.
Driving by that base with reapers taking off and landing is creepy even knowing they’re on our side. Amazing
Where is Creech AFB? I am a USAF veteran and I’ve never heard of that base… but I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, I just don’t know where it’s at

Nice effort Russia
Haha golden showered then downed

Hi
DJI Mavic 3 with grenades can destroy SAM missile vehicles, something that is impossible for MQ 9 because the smaller the drone the harder it is to detect🤗
wow
I think the problem with the Reaper is what to do when it is being attacked.
he was target misses for that
We got rid of the pilot so the thing can be expendable.
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
Yep
How's watching after yaman huthi's downed 1 ?
LOL literally got downed by su 27 by simply pissing oil at it LMAO
Because the drone operator deliberately choose not to defend it
1. Fuel, not oil.
2. It was struck by the jet, damaging the propeller.
3. Russia had to use an actual fighter jet to take out a drone that isn’t designed to defend itself.
What drone do we use to intercept enemie drones simular or better than this “Reaper"?
A white flag would be appropriate.
ये कुछ खास नहीं है, भारत में इससे 1000 गुना अधिक पावरफुल ड्रोन तैयार हो रहा।
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.
Plus life support systems and all that planes need. Pilotless aircraft definitely seem the way, mass producing cheap ones and have a bunch of people controlling them from safety
actually they're already testing it, major problem with it is latency issues. If I remember correctly once a drone is deployed it can have a 5 second delay between what the drone is seeing and what you're seeing. 5 seconds would mean the death of the plane if it was in a dog fight or dodging an S-400 missile.
@@edsherwook5196yep. Except for more sophisticated ones
I think the days of man on board piloted aircraft are numbered...sad😢😢😢
yes.
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...
If Russia has about 5,000 APCs and 5,000 infantry fighting vehicles, thus around 10,000 light armoured vehicles, then it would require about 100 MQ9 Reaper sorties ( carrying the 100 x Switchblade 300s per sorties ) to destroy the entire Russian fleet of vehicles of this type. Russia would then be playing catch up and only have tanks remaining, against which the switchblade 600 could be deployed, along with NLAW, Javelin, Stugna-P etc... for mop up operations.
It would be easy target for the Russian fighters and helicopters to shoot these drones down.
@tmathew7297 No it wouldn't because they would be too small and too numerous to cost justify firing missiles and using jets to bring them down. You are talking about missiles worth tens of thousands, vs a small drones that might cost less than $5K. It would send Russia broke using that strategy. They are already in deep financial trouble with the Russian Ruble crashing 30% in the last year.
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.
whats with the orange ribbons early on in the video (Coming from the missiles)
MQ-9 Reaper launching from ships is interesting, but there was no mention of landing on a ship.
Yeah there was. It even showed an animation of it. Then discussed it a lot later. Did you watch the whole video? Short take of and landing. It’s in the STOL acronyms. Wouldn’t be hard to land on a Wasp Class at all without a tail hook if full stovl as they say. They said amphibious ship so I’m assuming Wasp and not a Nimitz or Ford Carrier though they could there too. Both are behemoths

Depends on its stall speed. If it can land slow, no need.

Possibly as it does have a cable hook installed on that version. I believe it might the rod on the back of the bottom tail fin you can see at 4:09
I thought STOL meant short take off and landing. That’s a good question about the landing arrest wires. I assumed they could also short land without assistance.
