The U.S. Air Force has lost nearly 1\/3 of the available fleet of critical Reaper drones in Middle East conflicts since the start of the Trump administration, including more than two dozen in the Iran war.<\/p>\n

There is no active production line to build more, nor have the Pentagon and Congress produced a funded plan to replace them, according to congressional, military and defense industry officials.<\/p>\n

The MQ-9 Reaper, made famous during the post-9\/11 War on Terror, has played a central role in the U.S. military campaign against Iran. Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach, the Air Force chief of staff, called it a \u201ctremendous capability.\u201d But serious issues have surfaced as U.S. policymakers grapple with how to replace the Reapers.<\/p>\n

The Reaper is just one part of broader losses the Air Force has sustained in the Iran war, which began Feb. 28. The Congressional Research Service said in a recent report that at least 42 aircraft \u2014 28 MQ-9 Reaper drones, four F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets, one F-35 and seven KC-135 refueling tankers \u2014 are among those lost. Another 17 drones have been shot down during clashes between the U.S. and Yemen\u2019s Houthi rebels, an Iran-backed terror group, over the past nine years.<\/p>\n

A combination of new \u201cloitering\u201d munitions, Iranian anti-aircraft missiles and even Iran\u2019s recent attacks on U.S. bases in the region have whittled away at the Air Force\u2019s Reaper fleet.<\/p>\n

While the total number is technically classified, sources confirmed to The Washington Times that at least 45 MQ-9A Reaper drones have been lost in the Middle East since 2017.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s left the Reaper platform at a crossroads amid a slow-motion push inside the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill to come up with ways to replace the assets lost in the Mideast.<\/p>\n

At a classified briefing this week, Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Central Command, told senators that he needs the lost Reaper drones replaced, according to two sources familiar with the briefing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how that would happen.<\/p>\n

Understanding the Reaper<\/strong><\/p>\n

General Atomics \u2014 the drone\u2019s original manufacturer \u2014 shuttered production of the MQ-9A Reaper aircraft in 2025 after orders from the Air Force dwindled. Now, after nearly $1 billion in lost MQ-9As, the company is offering its MQ-9B SkyGuardian instead.<\/p>\n

But that would require a new line of funding from Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MQ-9A Reaper line was closed in 2025, and that was not a General Atomics decision. We argued against that and lost,\u201d C. Mark Brinkley, the senior director of strategic communications at General Atomics, wrote in a social media post. \u201cYou can take some offline Reapers and put them online again. That will get you some number of aircraft, but it\u2019s not a long-term fix.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MQ-9A owes much of its reputation and prolific use to its capabilities. The Reaper is one of the most prominent uncrewed systems used by any U.S. military branch. It was originally designed as a lethal-capable surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. It eventually found a place in the global War on Terror as a \u201chunter-killer\u201d platform, carrying Hellfire and Paveway missiles as well as larger GPS-guided bombs.<\/p>\n

The $15-to $30-million dollar drone can carry up to six attachments on its 66-foot wingspan and fly more than 24 hours at high altitude. The Reaper\u2019s sensor array includes many capabilities found on much larger manned aircraft, such as infrared sensors, color daytime and night-vision cameras with high-power zoom and radar.<\/p>\n

The Air Force has tried for years to find a successor to the drone, dubbing recent efforts the \u201cMQ-9 Next\u201d program. But those aircraft won\u2019t immediately solve the current capabilities gap.<\/p>\n

There are some Reaper parts and company-owned aircraft available, but they account for fewer than 10 full units, according to General Atomics. The Air Force publicly said it will \u201ccannibalize\u201d available Reapers to provide as many as possible to U.S. Central Command. They also may have other options.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re taking now is to refurbish and ready the remaining [Reapers] that we have,\u201d Gen. Wilsbach told members of Congress on June 9. \u201cWe still have a lot of them, I don\u2019t want to say a number because it\u2019s classified, but we still have a lot of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not in a crisis with the MQ-9 at the moment,\u201d Gen. Wilsbach said.<\/p>\n

But Air Force Lt. Gen. David Tabor, the service\u2019s deputy chief of staff for plans and programs, told lawmakers in May that the Air Force is in such dire need of the platform that it is trying to \u201cbuy back as many of the MQ-9As as we possibly can right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lt. Gen. Tabor told Congress in May that only 135 Reaper aircraft are available in the Air Force inventory. The losses in Iran and Yemen have destroyed up to one-third of the total fleet.<\/p>\n

To replace them, General Atomics is encouraging the purchase of the MQ-9B SkyGuardian.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can buy MQ-9Bs, either full-up aircraft or modified, slimmed-down versions. That is a long-term fix,\u201d Mr. Brinkley wrote. \u201cOther nations agree and are buying them now. That line is hot and running. The price will ultimately depend on what you ask for, but a full-up MQ-9B to the U.S. is about $30 million, less if we slim it down.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MQ-9B production line is currently building aircraft for many NATO partners. About 100 are being produced now for ten different countries. That includes the United Kingdom, Canada, Belgium, Denmark, Germany and Poland \u2014 all NATO members that have drastically increased their military spending in recent years.<\/p>\n

The amount of requests has, according to General Atomics, made that production line comfortably stable for the next few years. Those are all foreign military sales, meaning that at any time the U.S. Air Force could jump the line and request the next available aircraft that met its requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are offering the U.S. Air Force modular options for MQ-9B, at a price that reflects the DOW\u2019s requirements and can be delivered today, not someday,\u201d Mr. Brinkley wrote.<\/p>\n

Should lost Reapers be replaced?<\/strong><\/p>\n

But production capability may not be enough. Some analysts question whether replacing the Reaper is even the right call.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MQ-9 proved to be completely non-survivable in the Middle East. This should raise questions about the utility of the platform in conflict, especially major power wars,\u201d Jennifer Kavanagh, the director of military analysis at Defense Priorities, told The Times. \u201cIt is probably worth buying back aircraft that have been sold to police departments or other organizations but I am skeptical about putting a ton of funding into replenishing what was lost in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

Defense Priorities is a Washington-based think tank that advocates for a more restrained U.S. military role abroad.<\/p>\n

Ms. Kavanagh sees other platforms and cheaper alternatives as more of a winning \u2014 and affordable \u2014 combination. She pointed to space assets and \u201creally cheap reconnaissance drones that you expect to lose\u201d as a better investment.<\/p>\n

But those won\u2019t come online fast enough for the current conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. is very slow and way behind other countries in cheap UAV production and despite lots of hype and money, progress is at a glacial pace,\u201d Ms. Kavanagh said.<\/p>\n

Congress is actively negotiating the Trump administration\u2019s $1.5 trillion defense budget at the same time Adm. Cooper is pushing for more Reapers. Much of that requested money was originally earmarked for new defense technology and investments in future platforms, but some of it is now being redirected for the U.S. operation against Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of the mind-bending problem that\u2019s actually happened in the Iran conflict is that it has reinforced that the tech we have purchased is really good and works really well,\u201d Rep. Pat Harrigan, North Carolina Republican, told The Times.<\/p>\n

Rep. Harrigan is a consistent voice asking for investment in new drone technology and, as a former U.S. Army Special Forces officer, he has assumed a growing role in the modernization effort on the House Armed Services Committee.<\/p>\n

But now he\u2019s worried there won\u2019t be enough funding to go around.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe right balance is both. What level is that? It depends on who you talk to in Congress,\u201d he said of investing in new technology but also needing to replace platforms lost in the Middle East. \u201cI don\u2019t know that there\u2019s going to be an infinite amount of money to do both.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sen. John Hoeven, North Dakota Republican, was asked about the MQ-9 losses during last week\u2019s hearing with Air Force leadership. He said the U.S. was \u201closing a lot of MQ-9s over there,\u201d and even though \u201cthe MQ-9A line is not operating, the B line is up, so that\u2019s an option too.\u201d<\/p>\n

A large portion of the funding for the new military budget is coming from a supplemental budget request to Congress, one that includes the funds needed to replace the Reaper. It could require a larger budget to purchase newer MQ-9B SkyGuardians instead of MQ-9A Reapers, a problem Congress is well aware of.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re making the B, but a lot of the stuff that we\u2019re used to using goes on the A line, not the B,\u201d Mr. Hoeven told The Times. \u201cThey\u2019re on it, because that\u2019s defense. But I am concerned about funding.\u201d<\/p>\n

The risk is that it\u2019s not just Reaper replacement costs. The war has put pressure on the administration\u2019s supplemental funding request in numerous ways, adding unanticipated expenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a challenge we\u2019re seeing right now,\u201d Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Alaska Republican, told The Times.<\/p>\n

Ms. Murkowski believes the problem extends beyond the Mideast. She worries that some key programs are too low for the U.S. to maintain its levels of support for Ukraine, which remains locked in a bitter war with Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rapid depletion of our munitions and the different programs \u2026 this is what we\u2019ve got to be asking some pretty serious questions about,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Despite any efforts Congress may make on funding programs to replace critical systems, including the lost Reapers, the Iran war is still dragging on. The slow and deliberative process of Congress, in particular a Congress that has yet to officially declare war, is starting to show signs of not being able to keep pace with reality. It isn\u2019t a fact lost on the lawmakers working through the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know how it is around here, everything kind of gets delayed,\u201d Mr. Hoeven said. \u201cBut these guys are operating in real time.\u201d<\/p>\n
