Sources speaking to CBS News reported that the US Air Force lost 24 MQ-9 Reaper drones during clashes with Iranian armed forces.

This figure represents a significant increase compared to the 16 drones lost at the beginning of the month, with eight additional drones reported downed between April 1 and 9.

According to reports, the losses in early April were concentrated particularly around Shiraz and Kish Island.

This increase in the number of downed drones coincides with the disappearance of another, more valuable drone: a US Navy MQ-4C Triton reconnaissance aircraft, valued at approximately $250 million.

The disappearance of this aircraft has sparked speculation about the possibility that it was destroyed by Iranian forces. It is worth noting that, in addition to the drones, the Iranian armed forces announced that they had succeeded in shooting down an American fighter jet, military transport planes and military helicopters, during confrontations with the American Air Force as it attempted to attack Iran.
