$32M U.S. Drone Mistakenly Shot Down by SDF in Syria, Believed to be Turkish
Dec 11, 2024, 06:29 PM
A U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) group mistakenly shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone, valued at $32 million, over northern Syria, believing it to be a Turkish drone. This incident occurred on Monday, and U.S. officials confirmed the event to CNN, speaking under anonymity. The SDF, often referred to as PKK/YPG by some sources, misidentified the drone due to ongoing conflicts with Turkey, a NATO ally of the U.S. The Pentagon has announced that there will be no change in U.S. military posture in response to this incident.
