Pentagon takes over important anti-drone technology for US troops in the Middle East
The Pentagon informed the congress last week that it was originally intended for ukraine will redirect. This information comes from documents that are available, as well as people who are informed about the matter.
change in the defense policy of the USA
This step illustrates the changed focus of the USA under the government of President Donald Trump, who focus more on the Middle East and the Pacific. At the same time, the stocks of certain defense components in the United States are increasingly tense.
redirection of important technologies
The technology that is about are approximation igniters for the rockets that Ukraine uses to intercept Russian drones. These were redirected by Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) to the Air Force Central Command, and this was done at the order of Defense Minister Pete Hegseth. The corresponding correspondence dates from May 29 and was sent to the defense committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
background of Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative
The USA is a financing program of the Ministry of Defense that was launched in 2014 when Russia marched to Eastern Ukraine for the first time and annexed the Crimea. It enables the US government to acquire weapons and equipment directly from US arms manufacturers for Ukraine. The approximation igniters were originally bought for Ukraine, but now due to a problem classified as "urgent concern of the Minister of Defense".
