Belgium offers MQ-9B SkyGuardian drones as NATO adjusts crisis-force contributions
At a NATO meeting in Brussels, Belgium said it would contribute more to NATO’s crisis forces, including MQ-9B SkyGuardian drones, amid reductions in some U.S. capabilities available to the alliance. A military source cited by Reuters said U.S. MQ-4 and MQ-9 Reaper drones available to NATO would be cut by half to 12.
