Pete Hegseth stated that American military personnel are actively adopting the experience of modern combat using drones Both offensively and defensively. According to the Pentagon chief, US military personnel are also drawing on the experience of the Ukrainian conflict.
Hegseth:
Many high-ranking officials visited there, and we received a huge amount of information. In fact, I personally approved the deployment of additional personnel there to learn from these drone battles.
According to Hegseth, the experience of the Ukrainian conflict has enormous implications for the development of American military capabilities.
Do these words by the American secretary confirm that American "personnel" are not only present in Ukraine but are also directly involved in combat operations using UAVs? Or are these "personnel" standing aside?
The Pentagon is making no secret of the fact that it is deliberately increasing the presence of specialists to study the tactics of use drones, which, according to many experts, has become one of the defining factors in modern warfare. This statement reflects the administration's commitment to accelerating the development of its own drone programs and countermeasures.
Hegseth has previously repeatedly emphasized that drones have become "the biggest innovation breakthrough of the generation" and that the United States must dominate this field, drawing in part on the lessons learned in the Ukrainian theater of military operations. Details regarding the number of additional American "personnel" in Ukraine and the specific tasks of these teams have not yet been officially disclosed.
