US unleashes drone war surge as Hegseth warns enemies had a head start | US | News
Pete Hegseth pioneers a major revision of the US army’s drone program and reports that the enemies of America stole a march in the technology race, Telegram.
The US Defense Secretary announced that Pentagon’s “bureaucratic gloves come out” because he ordered the rapid monitoring of drone development in all branches of the armed forces.
According to the internal notes obtained by FOX News, commanders will now have the authority to independently supply and test their unmanned aerial vehicles, including 3D printed prototypes without pre -approval from Washington.
Drones have become a dominant force in the modern war, and now the low -cost models used in everything from surveillance and bombing campaigns to the targeted assassinations. The creation of new educational zones for live fire, combined arms and herd tests between Hegseth’s orders will be scrapped to scrapes.
As part of the acceleration plan, three new drone test zones are expected to be established within 90 days.
The defense secretary warned that countries such as Iran and Russia were already a “head beginner ,, but estimated that the US would lead in two years.
“These are critical power providers who need to prioritize the same level as large weapons systems, hegseth said. “Deathlism will not be prevented by self -imposed restrictions … Our main risk is avoidance of risk.”
As of next year, the drones will be completely integrated into war training on the board, including full-power drone-on-donation war simulations.
Earlier this year, Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Release American Drone dominance ğinde when the US had to accelerate the adoption of the drone war to stay in front of its competitors.
Meanwhile, Pentagon is working to support defenses in domestic military facilities because he is afraid of an increasing drone strike on the home territory.
The urgency follows high -profile operations showing the destructive effectiveness of the drone war. In June, Ukraine’s operation Spider web Saw Drones was kidnapped to Russia and destroyed almost one -third of Moscow’s strategic bombardment within only hours.
A month later, the Israeli drones were deployed in a strike targeted to Iranian nuclear facilities and added more pressure to respond to the US.
American defense firms lobbyed for a slice of Pentagon financing under the “Golden Dome” program, which aims to resist drone threats. This includes technologies such as high -power microwaves that can neutralize all the herds of drones that are already tested in the Pacific and the Middle East.
“What we see in Russia will play here,” the company EPirus CEO will play here, “the company behind the microwave system. “The operation must have a real call to a real wake up that Spider’s Network is very, very serious to the world, that it is very, very serious.”
Separately, Donald Trump’s attack on Ukrainian cities of Russia is intensified, reported to give arms authority up to $ 300 million from US stocks to Ukraine.
