U.S. Is Redirecting Critical Antidrone Technology From Ukraine to U.S. Forces

Deskripsi:

The Trump administration has redirected a key antidrone technology—proximity fuzes originally intended for Ukraine—to U.S. Air Force units in the Middle East, signaling a shift in Pentagon priorities away from Kyiv. This decision, justified as an urgent defense need, comes amid growing tensions with Iran and Houthi militants. Critics warn the move weakens Ukraine’s air defenses against Russian drones, while supporters argue it falls within emergency spending powers, the Wall Street Journal has reported. The Pentagon has not clarified the full impact on Ukraine, raising concerns among lawmakers about U.S. commitment to Ukraine’s war effort.
