The United Kingdom wants to buy two of USAF’s MQ-9 hunter-killer unmanned aerial vehicles, recently named the Reaper. The deal, if approved by Congress, could see Britain paying as much as $77 million, according to a Defense Security Cooperation Agency news release. DSCA notified Congress of the possible foreign military sale, which would include the two UAVs and all associated equipment and services.
