We take drone lessons from the war of Russia, Ukraine

The Trump administration takes a page from the playing book in Ukraine when it comes to the war of drones, according to the Pentagon’s chief technology.

Emile Michael, Minister of Defense for Research and Engineering, said that Russia’s invasion of more than three years of Ukraine showed the new path of the war, which the United States learns and the rest of the world.

“When you see Ukraine and Russia, this is probably this type of path for war where the front lines of humans and tanks are not; the front lines are machines and robots that discover how to face each other. This is a great lesson,” he said to the NewSnation Mills.

Michael was speaking from Indiana during the TREX experimenting event-a demonstration of days of advanced new military technology as defense companies and engineers test the initial models of war technology in front of American military leaders.

The Trump administration uses such events to know how to quickly equip the forces with small drones to replace them, a work that combines with them compared to the likes of opponents, including China, Russia and Iran.

While the United States has mastered the development of large, complex and uninhabited aircraft such as the predator and a barber, its industrial base is struggling to continue the production of unparalleled smaller drones that came to define conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.

But Michael said that the Pentagon has learned some things from the war of Russia-Ukraine, including that war men, such as defense companies that will need to be part of what he calls the “innovation ring”, or modifying drone technology to suit the current conflict.

“These drones change in capabilities every three weeks to four weeks, which is amazing, right?” Michael said, referring to Ukraine’s development of new drones and tactics in the war, including swarm capabilities – forcing both sides to develop counter -measures and adapt their strategies.

“The men of war, the people who run these drones are already the ones who really improve them. In some cases they write programs. They say,“ Well, what if we do this? “They are experimenting at the lowest level of the fighter.” “This is a new way of thinking.”

The spontaneity on the ground is a exit from the exemplary path of the large arms system that is being delivered to the American forces, who are trained on how to use it early.

“Now we will rely on the war men to be part of the innovation link. This is what the war taught us in Ukraine and Russia,” Michael said.

The drones are the new front line of modern conflicts, which prominently stand out in the war of Russia in Ukraine and Israel’s conflicts in the Middle East.

It was fully displayed in June with the operation of the Orgene’s Operation Spiderweb. In this operation, KYIV months ago smuggled hundreds of small drones deep in Russia due to a coordinated blow that destroyed more than 40 Russian warplanes on five air bases across the country.

Drones also compensate for a large amount of losses in Russia’s strikes on Ukrainian cities, and they only growed in intensity earlier this year.
