 Ukraine is negotiating the purchase of the US-made MQ-9 Reaper ("Reaper") heavy attack drone.

The MQ-9 Reaper is the US Army's modular reconnaissance and strike UAV. It is equipped with a turboprop engine, enabling a speed of over 400 km/h.

This drone has six suspension points. It can carry up to 4 air-to-ground missiles, or up to 8 in the modified MQ-9A or 4 Hellfire missiles and two Mark 82 laser-guided bombs.

Experts believe that the MQ-9 could dramatically change the course of the war. https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/9412235/ Compared to the Bayraktar, experts say the MQ-9 is more durable in flight and less vulnerable to Russian fire.

"Turkish drones have to operate close enough to the front lines, which makes them more vulnerable to Russian air and missile attacks from airfields. However, the MQ-9 has a range from a safer base. And it is the Reaper's range that makes Turkish drones a must. operate close enough to the front line. could be of key importance,” - stated in the material.

The MQ-9 will have sufficient range to attack Russian military installations in Russia itself, https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/9412248/ up to and including Moscow itself.

Such drones require a year of military training, but General Atomics is confident that they can quickly teach Ukrainian fighters how to use them.
