Ansarallah (Houthis) released a video of them downing an American MQ-9 Reaper UCAV over Yemen
Unclear what type of SAM was used to down it, likely a Saqr-1/2 (358) loitering SAMs or R-73/27/77. Video recorded on one of the Houthis many Iranian/Chinese made ground based FLIRs
Potential surface-to-air missiles from Yemen's Ansarullah that could be used to shoot down the U.S. MQ9 Reaper UAV ($32 million)
The cheapest option would be the Iranian 358-SAM missile, with an estimated price tag of $50,000.
️Ansarullah Yemen:
“Our air defenses shot down an American MQ9 UAV while it was carrying out hostile, monitoring and spying activities in the airspace of Yemeni territorial waters and within the framework of American military support for the Israeli entity.”
