Redirect their army: the US is taking a key technology for fighting Shahaneda, WSJ in the Armed Forces

Last week, the Pentagon reported the US Congress of reinstatement to the US military-air forces of special detonators who showed their effectiveness in knocking down Russian unmanned aerial vehicles and cost less than the air-air-air missiles. According to the newspaper, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset Heset last month has been authorized by the Pentagon unit responsible for meeting the needs of commanders in weapons, to supply the detonators purchased for the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

At the same time, the Pentagon convinced the Senate Committee that the need for the US Army in these detonators is "an urgent problem identified by the Minister of Defense.

" The authors of the article point out that the new rocket and drone attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine are ongoing, and the US Air Force units in the Middle East meanwhile are preparing for a probable conflict with Iran or restoring hostilities with Husites in Yemen, and the decision to renovate detonators shows a deficit.

Supporters of ammunition overgrown with military military say that the Pentagon has the authority for such actions in accordance with the Law on Extraordinary Military Costs, journalists write. Ukraine's supporters in Congress in turn fear that this step could have a negative impact on Ukrainian defense, and state that the Pentagon did not explain whether the need for detonas is urgent.

The article explains that the United States has been supplied to Ukraine by detonators intended for an advanced high -precision weapon system for several years. They are used by Ukrainian defenders during hostile shelling in the launch system "Earth-Air". The main component of technology is the "contactless detonator" - it undermines the explosive when the rocket is approaching the target. Journalists point out that such a system is cheaper than the air-air-air-air and Amraam.

The Air Force adapted them to launch F-16 and F-15E fighters. The provision of these detonators to Ukraine was approved by the US Presidential Administration Joe Baiden as a safety assistance initiative in Ukraine. According to the authors of the material, despite the fact that the funds for the program were spent, the supply of these ammunition to Ukraine is scheduled for 2025 and 2026, if the Trump administration does not redirect the US military.

We will remind, in the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on June 4 told how many drones Russia produces in a day. According to scouts, the enemy produces up to 170 shahad drones daily and plans to increase production. Colonel Yuriy Ignat, Head of the Air Force Communications Department of the Armed Forces, told how the defense forces were being knocked down by enemy UAVs on June 3.
