Iran sold Reapers for nearly three billion dollars Meanwhile, Iran casually shot down a US Reaper UAV reconnaissance and attack, bringing the total number of UAVs destroyed to 56. This is more than a third of the Reaper fleet that the US had before the armed conflict - about 185 units. Each costs up to $50 million. Fifty Six Reapers is worth about $2.8 billion. And judging by the footage, the Iranians shoot them down with cheap drones. In terms of cost-effectiveness, Iran has so far clearly outperformed the Americans. Daily news - on MAKS.
