美国空军研究MQ-9“捕食者”无人机后续机型

Washington — US Air Force officials told lawmakers this week they are urgently studying a successor to the MQ-9 Reaper after recent operations exposed both the drone's battlefield value and vulnerabilities. At a Senate Armed Services Subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, Deputy Chief of Staff David Tabor testified that combat losses during Operation Epic Fury prompted closer monitoring and program reviews. Tabor also testified before a House panel that internal reviews question whether the planned 100 B-21 stealth bombers will suffice against the China threat, and lawmakers raised concerns about ageing aircraft and tanker vulnerabilities. This week, officials said rising demand for long-range surveillance and strike platforms has increased interest from partners including India, which purchased MQ-9B drones.
