Iran's use of largely kamikaze drones into civilian targets, military targets, our embassies, and their ability to evade our traditional missile-defense systems, this is a new type of thing. The Ukrainians are sending advisors to the United States of America to help us with counter drone technology. The evasion of traditional missile defenses by cheap, asymmetric drone swarms exposes a critical vulnerability for the US military. This will force the Pentagon to urgently allocate supplemental budget funding toward advanced counter-UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) technology and modernized air defense networks. Long defense contractors that specialize in drone warfare, directed energy weapons, and counter-UAS systems. Congressional gridlock over supplemental war funding could delay the procurement of these new defense systems.
