No.

System price is ~56mil, and a system is 4 birds, ground control station, and satellite uplink.

Which puts the price of a single Reaper at ~9-12mil.

Trump says US will leave Iran 'whether we have a deal or not'

The president says any deal with Tehran is "irrelevant" to when the US leaves the conflict, claiming that day could come in two to three weeks.

In a picture verified by AFP, the mangled airframe of the US air force jet stands on the runway of Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia

The mangled airframe of the four-engined US air force jet stands on the runway of Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia.

Amid the twisted metal, what looks like a large flying saucer lies upside down.

It is, or was, the rotating radar dome that usually sits above the E-3 Sentry, one of the jewels in America’s military crown – essentially a $500m (£375m) flying battlefield nerve centre that allows commanders to track everything in the air across hundreds of miles.

As of Friday morning, the United States had 16 of the vital but ageing Cold War-era aircraft, with roughly 40 per cent of the fleet deployed to the Middle East.

Now they have 15, after Iran attacked Prince Sultan with, it is believed, ballistic missiles and drones, injuring 12 US personnel, two seriously, and damaging up to five air-to-air refuelling tankers.
