In a dramatic announcement, Iranian state media claims its air defenses have successfully shot down a sophisticated US-Israeli MQ-9 Reaper drone — dubbed the “killer drone” — over Iranian territory. According to Tehran, the $30 million unmanned aircraft was completely incinerated by surface-to-air missiles during a reconnaissance mission near the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian officials are celebrating the incident as a major victory, releasing footage they say shows the drone being struck and exploding mid-air. The MQ-9 is a high-value asset known for its long endurance, precision strike capability, and advanced surveillance systems.
