Pentagon Aims to Match Russia and China in Drone Technology

The Pentagon intends to catch up with Russia and China in the field of UAVs. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the acceleration of the production and deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles. Devices created using 3D printing will also be widely used. In addition, they will be able to be put into use operationally and without excessive checks, reports Fox News.

The Pentagon admits that "America's adversaries have an advantage in the field of small unmanned aerial systems," but Hegseth hopes the US will take a leading position by the end of 2027.
