Pentagon Seeks Affordable Small Combat Drones For Soldiers
The US Pentagon is pushing to significantly reduce the price of small combat drones, aiming to enable soldiers, Marines, and special forces to deploy them by the millions annually. This effort is part of a broader strategy to achieve drone dominance, similar to what has been observed in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The Pentagon has allocated $1.1 billion towards this goal, as reported by Aviation Week.
