@Babak Taghvaee - The Crisis Watch: BREAKING: It has now been confirmed that the U.S. Navy has had another one of its MQ-4C Triton intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance drones put out of service as a result of another suspected
On April 27, 2026, the U.S. Navy's MQ-4C Triton drone, serial number 169661, was damaged and made an emergency landing at Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE, likely due to a surface-to-air missile from Iran's IRGC Aerospace Force using a 3rd Khordad medium-range air defense system. This marks the second loss of a Triton drone in the conflict, each valued at approximately $240 million.
