An American drone shot down on 16 September was the tenth of its kind since the group started to target Israeli-owned and Israel-bound merchant ships in the Red Sea out of solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.
The MQ-9 has advanced features that are highly reliable. It can reach 370 kilometres per hour, has a 20-metre wingspan, and weighs more than 2,200 kilograms.
