Ukraine was MAGA‘s bogeyman, a never-ending war propping up a corrupt regime, a darling of Biden and the Woke Left. Trump marched into office on the promise to get the U.S. out of the Ukrainian war against Russia, and he scaled back from the all-out support of his predecessor.
Then something happened. The United States, with the fanciest and most expensive weapons in the world, found itself befuddled by the cheap Shahed drones of Iran. A $3M Patriot missile can take out easily. But the Shahed cost $50K, and Iran mass-produced and mass-launched them.
The Pentagon realized they could lose the war by sheer economics.
Then Ukraine came to the rescue. Their drone-killers seek and smash or blast Shaheds, and they cost $2K. For four inexorable years, Ukraine has developed technology and experience to shut down the Russia offensive, a large part of which ran its business on Shahed drones.
This could be President Zelensky‘s chance to get full support of Washington. This could be Trump’s chance to strike against the Axis of Resistance (Iran, Russia, China, North Korea).
The Ukrainians are not the only ones developing cheap and effective drone-killers. In America, Anduril Industries has developed interceptor drones that coordinate with its lattice AI. Other drone-killers come from Zone 5 Technologies and Fortem Technologies.
Drone Shield jams them, Leonidas microwaves them, AeroVironment lasers them. If the U.S. wants to keep the Strait of Hormuz open to oil traffic, cheap, scalable, layered defense systems are of the order.
