U.S. Hopes to Catch Up and Surpass China in the Drone Field in the Short Term!
U.S. Army Secretary Daniel McKeon said that the U.S. hopes to surpass China in the production speed of drones in a short period of time.
Regarding the U.S. leadership's plan to purchase 1 million drones for the Pentagon in the next two to three years, as well as the issue of competition with China in this field, McKeon said that the U.S. has taken the wrong approach in recent decades.
"We handle drones differently, because if you look at Ukraine, they produce 4 million drones per year, while I believe China produces 12 million to 14 million drones per year as a country. As a nation, we must get support from the private sector, which will produce them in their own bases, and we will buy them. Therefore, our private partners will produce drones, and we will catch up and surpass China at an incredible speed."
