Yemeni Air Defenses Successfully Shoot Down American MQ9 Drone in Al-Baidha

News - Yemen: Yemen's military media shared footage of Yemeni Air Defenses intercepting and shooting down an American MQ9 drone engaged in hostile activities within the airspace of Al-Baidha province.

The video captures the monitoring and tracking of the American aircraft, followed by the moment it was targeted by a surface-to-air missile, resulting in a direct hit that caused it to ignite and crash. 

Earlier on the day, the Armed Forces had announced the successful interception of an American MQ9 aircraft in Al-Baidha province's airspace during its hostile missions, indicating the aircraft was targeted with a suitable missile.

This is the 5th drone they have shot down since the beginning of the operations in support of Gaza. 

Days ago, the Armed Forces announced downing a US drone of the same type in Marib.

The Spokesman for the Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said in a statement that Yemeni air defenses managed to shoot down an American MQ-9 drone on Tuesday in Al-Baidha Governorate.

The statement indicated that the drone was targeted with a locally-made surface-to-air missile and that footage of the shootdown will be distributed later.

The statement affirmed the full readiness of the Armed Forces at all levels on land, sea and air, and that all enemy attempts will fail and the Armed Forces will be on the lookout for it.

Yemen's military has repeatedly targeted MQ-9 drones, including during operations supporting the Palestinian cause since last October. In a recent interception in Sa'adah province, Yemeni forces successfully targeted an American MQ-9 conducting hostile activities, signaling the effectiveness of Yemen's Air Defense capabilities across its airspace.

 

This successful interception challenges Washington's assumption that Yemen's Air Defenses are concentrated only in specific areas, reinforcing Yemen's ability to defend its airspace comprehensively and deal significant blows to hostile threats.
