US EditionPentagon Diverting Key Anti-Drone Technology From Ukraine to US Forces in the Middle East
- The Pentagon announced last week it will redirect special fuzes for ground-to-air rockets originally bought for Ukraine to U.S. Forces in the Middle East.
- This redirection responds to shifting U.S. Defense priorities amid mounting threats from Iran and Houthi militants, while Russia intensifies drone attacks on Ukraine.
- On June 1, Russia deployed its biggest coordinated drone attack to date with 472 attack UAVs and is expected to increase its nightly strikes to over 500 long-range drones as it expands production and establishes new launch facilities.
- President Zelensky reported that since the beginning of 2025, Russia has deployed tens of thousands of drones against Ukraine, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the diversion of fuze technology as a critical concern.
- The redirection may strain Ukraine's defense against drone attacks but aims to enhance U.S. Air defense amid growing Middle East conflicts with uncertain impact on Ukraine.
