On July 11, according to Fox News in the United States, U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth ordered a comprehensive reform of drone policies to accelerate the production, deployment, and integration of small drones in the U.S. military. Hegseth said that it is expected that the United States will completely defeat China and Russia by the end of 2027 in this field, taking a leading position and becoming the number one in the world.
Hegseth released a video in front of the Pentagon, saying: "We will unleash the advantages and dominant position of U.S. military drones; we cannot let China and Russia surpass the U.S. military."
To be honest, I almost laughed out loud. These toy drones in the video are three years behind those on the Ukraine-Russia battlefield, and ten years behind China. Just study hard, does Hegseth have to blow his own horn?
Remember, earlier, the United States gave Ukraine the Phoenix Ghost, right? While providing aid, they wanted to test the performance of drone weapons, but this drone was beaten up badly, disappeared, and even the Ukrainian army didn't want to use it anymore.
