RCarlson Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Are French and British MQ-9's armed? And if so with what? Do the Brits carry Brimstones? Thanks for help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nspreitler Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Are French and British MQ-9's armed? And if so with what? Do the Brits carry Brimstones? Thanks for help. Usually 4x Hellfire, at least for the British ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4scourge7 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Howdo RCarlson RAF Reapers can carry Hellfire and Paveway IV in various combinations, including asymmetric loads. http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/reaper.cfm http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafcms/mediafiles/5DBBB93B_1143_EC82_2E8B5A0341A81C6F.jpg HTH :) Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCarlson Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks for the help everyone. I see the British ones are armed the same as the US. I still have seen if the French one are. The Wikipedia article talks about them being used for reconnaissance, but I still haven't found if they are armed or not yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks for the help everyone. I see the British ones are armed the same as the US. I still have seen if the French one are. The Wikipedia article talks about them being used for reconnaissance, but I still haven't found if they are armed or not yet. Everything that has been published so far (including recent magazine articles on French operations in Niger) suggest that France has chosen not to arm its Reapers yet.

RCarlson Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks Kursad! Especially since this is in regards to building a French MQ-9 with your decals. I appreciate the help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
