Iranian Shared drones have been used in Ukraine for four years, but it was not until AFTER the US went to war with Iran that the US thought of talking to Ukraine about buying their intercepter drones?

This is what you get from replacing a four star general with a Fox News host at the the Department of Defence.

Shaheds have a nominal reach of 2000km. That's nearly 3 days under full steam if the fleet is ordered to run.

Unfortunately the US Partner countries can neither run with nor defend their lands.

Edit: the Shaheds are blind and only have inertial navigation, so relocation of some hundred meters should be sufficient.

Again: for fleets only, no option for airfields nor houses.

@randahl Like someone said: Ukraine should make the US pay through the nose for those drones

@randahl

ukraine's chance to deal with the usa in the same hot and cold and bizarre demands manner the usa dealt with ukraine

i think ukraine should ask for mineral rights in the usa for example

@randahl Not only that. Why have we not had observers in Ukraine learning from the Ukrainians how they are using drones? That's gross incompetence.

@randahl Hesgeth is like an angry kid fighting himself in a sandpit. His utterances are quite pathetic for someone in such a powerful position. I mean putting a Fox News host in charge of the US Department of War is madness.

@randahl so true. And thank you for continuing calling it Department of Defense. We shouldn’t support the tiny ego of that administration

@randahl The irony of the US having to buy military equipment of Ukraine because it is better than their own but refusing to help them
