🌟 [ 55 ]   Pentagon: ‘Phoenix Ghost’ Drones Would Benefit Ukraine [ @Bloomberg Quicktake: Now ]

Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby discusses sending “Phoenix Ghost” drones to Ukraine. The drones were in development before Russia’s invasion and Kirby says this unmanned aerial system would very nicely suit their needs. The U.S. military assistance announced Thursday for Ukraine includes 72 155mm howitzers, 144,000 artillery rounds, 72 vehicles used to tow to the howitzers onto battlefields, and over 121 Phoenix Ghost tactical drones, as well as field equipment and spare parts. Kirby said the drones were developed by the Air Force in specific response to Ukrainian needs and produced by a U.S. company, Aevex Aerospace, but he would not say whether the program began before Russia started its invasion Feb. 24. We believed that that this particular system would very nicely suit their needs, particularly in eastern Ukraine. And so, it was already in development, but we will continue to move that development in ways that that that that are attuned to Ukrainian requirements, Kirby said.
