The US Navy on Thursday, April 9, could have lost the MQ-4C Triton reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) over the Persian Gulf. The UAV suddenly disappeared and does not get in touch. Details are provided by the TWZ publication.

"Shortly before that, the drone was also tracked as rapidly losing altitude, which raised many questions about its future fate. This happened just two days after the United States and Iran agreed on a still very fragile ceasefire, which largely depends on the opening of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz," the source writes.

Before the termination of communication, the MQ-4C flew over the Persian Gulf for three hours and The Strait of Hormuz. Experts are sure that he was already returning to the Sigonella airbase in Italy, managed to cross the airspace of Saudi Arabia, then descended "dropped from a height of about 15 kilometers to 3 kilometers" and disappeared.

EADaily previously also informed — the Americans just took and lost in Iran has a high-precision GBU-39.
