Well it is made clear during the Battle of Palavan that they did bring down some Reapers. My issue is we never see it. Think of how satisfing it would have been after gaining krogan support to start seeing some Reapers blow up and get nervous. But no the only way we know any Reapers died is to look at the Codex. They killed them with their fleets and suicide bombed them on the ground. But, like all your war assets, you never see any of the forces you gathered making a difference personally. It is all just indirect and speculation.
