US Army plans to massively increase us of drones

“US ARMY PLANS TO MASSIVELY INCREASE USE OF DRONES”

The Pentagon plans to equip each of its combat divisions with around 1,000 drones and to shed outmoded weapons and other equipment. The decision is based on the US military’s assessment of the Ukraine conflict.

Drones have transformed the conflict because they are cheap, can attack in swarms to overwhelm defenses, and can send live video feeds to the rear that can make it difficult to hide on the battlefield.

Altogether the overhaul would cost $36 billion over the next five years. It feels like the US is one step behind China…….. Source: WSJ
