Italian MQ-9 drone
Speaking of which, the United States is also one of the earliest players of military drone , but due to its own restrictions on selling, the reputation of Chinese drone has gradually begun to surpass. When the United States was trying to prevent this situation from worsening, the American-made no one gave them a fatal blow.
According to US media reports, an Italian "Reaper" drone crashed in Libya area. "The cause of the incident is under investigation, but according to the wings shown in the photos, it means that the drone may not have been shot down." But the subsequent news reports directly slapped them in the face.
Shortly after the US media reported, domestic media also reported related matters, but the same news, the reports of the two were completely different. According to domestic media reports, the Libyan National Army shot down an Italian military's MQ-9 drone, which is the "reaper" mentioned above by the Americans.

And what the American media mentioned in "wings are intact" was even more beaten by a photo of Chinese media in the face. In the photo, two local soldiers were taking a group photo next to the wings of the drone wreckage, which was particularly eye-catching. What people can't help but feel that the bullet holes on the wreckage wings seemed to be mocking the Americans, and they were talking silently there one by one.
Therefore, it is clear who is lying. In fact, after the American media reported the relevant news, it had already been hit back by its own people. Americans said, "This is in sharp contrast with China's pterosaur -2. Look at the pterosaur-2 flying over Libya. Which one has fallen or been shot down?"
. Now we can also find through the comparison of news between the two countries that the United States is likely to be just a stubborn person after knowing the truth. Some analysts said that the reason why the United States is so stubborn may be because it is unwilling to admit defeat. The glorious appearance of Winglong-2 in the Middle East made Americans jealous. Although the United States lifted the ban on sales, no one is looking at American drones in the face of high-quality and low-priced Chinese equipment.
At the same time, from another perspective, the MQ-9 drone has been really famous in recent years. In addition to Libya, it was also shot down by Houthi forces many times, which made the United States lose face. Iran also completely captured an MQ-9 drone, which also qualitatively improved Iran's drone technology. If the United States still wants to sell drones, it will definitely need to do something.
Not completing the attack on the enemy, but also helping the enemy improve. Which country dares to buy such a drone? Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the United States concealed the real cause of the accident, but unexpectedly, the slap in the face was so fast! It even caught Americans off guard.
In essence, although Americans do not admit defeat, Americans are indeed much worse in the way they win. This behavior of "changing their results" if they cannot win can be said to be the culprit of the current situation in the United States. The MQ-9 was shot down while the Wingshound-2 did not, which also highlighted that there may be many problems with the U.S. drones, and the "examples" mentioned above are also good proof. From the actual situation, this may still be the tip of the iceberg for the United States. (Zhi Zhong)
