Plans involve equipping the Army’s ten active-duty combat divisions with about 1,000 drones apiece over a two-year period, with the news UAVs to be tasked with strike, surveillance and supply missions.
Officials and experts told WSJ the Army’s plans are based on the experience of the ongoing anti-Russia proxy war in Ukraine, where drones have proven to be a game-changing pillar of modern warfare.
💬 “Land warfare has transitioned to drone warfare. If you can be seen, you can be killed,” retired general and former Army vice chief of staff Jack Keane told WSJ. “A soldier carrying a rocket-propelled grenade, a tank, command and control facilities, an artillery position can all be taken out by drones very rapidly.”
The Army’s plans also include spending $3B on anti-drone warfare equipment. This, the drones themselves and revamped electronic warfare capabilities are expected to cost some $36 billion over five years as part of the “Army Transformation Initiative,” which also calls for new tanks, missiles and other weaponry.
To raise the funds, the Army plans to halt purchases of new Humvees, JLTVs, M10 light tanks and to retire older Apache helicopters. Cuts of some civilian personnel are also planned.

💬 “Grasp your fate in your hands,” the video aimed at the older official urges. “Heaven helps those who help themselves. Your fate is in your control,” the one aimed at the younger one says.
