Last month, an American MQ9B Death drone was shot down in Libya, and as a result, India began to step up negotiations with the United States to introduce the drone and ask for 30 in one go. Obviously they have all been shot down, why should India buy it? It also spent 3 billion yuan to this end, why is India's move? Could it be that Modi has ignored the negative news of the Grim Reaper drone?

In fact, the Death God drone was shot down, it is not worth the fuss, the Death God UAV is advanced, it is also a conventional UAV of the US military, once it is found by ground anti-aircraft fire, then the UAV is basically unable to escape the fate of being shot down. Unlike fighter jets, the maneuverability of the UAV is very poor, and it lacks the ability to evade the interference of incoming missiles, and even the anti-aircraft gun can easily shoot it down, and the UAV can only pray that the opponent does not find it during the mission, or after the discovery, the opponent's anti-aircraft fire cannot reach the flight height of the UAV.

In fact, there are more outrageous things than the death drone being shot down, that is, Iran captured the RQ170 sentry reconnaissance drone, you know, the RQ170 sentry drone has a very high status in the US military, but it was easily captured by Iran, and the fuselage was also publicly displayed, directly losing face to the United States. This shows that although the UAV technology of the US military is very advanced, it is not seamless, so why does India also indicate that it wants to buy the MQ9B Death God UAV?
MQ9B Grim Reaper UAV is a UAV based on the predator, improved development of the UAV, its biggest feature, is to replace the new avionics system, reconnaissance and detection capabilities greatly improved, and, can be mounted more air-launched missiles, firepower greatly improved. The death of Sulaimani, the second person in the Iranian military, is related to the Death Drone. Nowadays, India buys the Death God UAV, naturally it also has its special use, you know, India has long had a military industry dream, for this reason also specially developed a number of domestic weapons and equipment, but the performance is relatively mediocre, including India's domestic UAV, after recognizing the gap, India hopes to be able to introduce the US military UAV, to provide for itself to enhance the strength of the UAV.

In recent years, the appearance rate of drones on the battlefield has become higher and higher, whether it is the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict or this year's Russian-Ukrainian conflict, drones can even be said to play a leading role, which also makes India further realize the importance of drones. But in fact, what really makes this country unable to sit still is because of its neighbors in the north, you know, China's drone technology is not worse than the United States, but also sells well in the world, India has always been a very jealous country, can not see China is good, therefore, after the eyes of The Chinese drone, India is also determined to get its own advanced drone, even if it costs a lot of money, but also to buy.
This time, India will undoubtedly once again be wronged, after all, 3 billion US dollars, the purchase of 30 Death drones, even with logistics maintenance services, is not worth the price. But for India, which is accustomed to being a wronged person, instead of feeling pitted, it will also think that the money is worth it. While other countries buy Chinese drones, they may only need half or even lower prices to buy drones with the same combat strength, so it is no wonder that the US military drones will gradually lose the market.
