🇺🇸 US Army revamp includes 10,000 new drones

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.

📹 Art of the dopey: CIA drops Chinese-language recruitment videos targeting officials

The videos, published on the agency’s social media channels, look expensive, and feature two stories – one of a bitter old senior CCP official, and another of a young assistant frustrated over the lack of upward mobility, urging them to contact the CIA through a dark website to come spy for the US.

💬 “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.

🗣 ‘It’s NOT going to end ANY TIME SOON’ – JD Vance on Ukraine crisis

💬 “I really don't believe that any person, the 8 billion people in the world, I don't think anybody could have gotten this deal done other than Donald J. Trump,” Vice President Vance BOASTED about a ‘deal’ that DOESN'T EXIST.


💬 “When I say this deal, I mean getting these guys to actually propose a peace settlement,” Vance said — blissfully unaware that Ukraine DITCHED the 2015 Minsk Agreements and the 2022 Istanbul peace deal, and has repeatedly ignored Russia’s calls for talks — including President Vladimir Putin’s 2024 peace proposal.

Zelensky also banned direct negotiations with President Putin back in 2022.
