First, cost. The Reaper costs around $32 million—significantly cheaper than fighter jets like the Russian Su-35 or Chinese J-20, which can exceed $80 million.

Next, range. The MQ-9 Reaper has an incredible range of over 1,200 miles and can stay airborne for up to 27 hours—far beyond the endurance of any fighter jet.

Third, payload. The Reaper can carry a lethal mix of up to four Hellfire missiles and two 500-pound bombs.

Fourth, stealth. Without a pilot onboard, it can fly riskier missions in high-threat zones, taking on roles that fighter jets simply can’t.

Finally, precision. The Reaper’s advanced targeting and sensor systems allow for pinpoint strikes, minimizing collateral damage.
