After losses in Iran, the United States seeks to replace the Reaper with a $10 million drone

The Pentagon is preparing a successor to the MQ-9A Reaper, with a cost set at $10 million per unit. California startup Swarm Aero unveiled the Gamera drone, which features a non-stealthy design and a range of 16,700 kilometers. The losses of Reapers in Iran, exceeding $1.3 billion, have prompted the Pentagon to revise its military doctrine, favoring less expensive and mass-produced aircraft.
