In addition, the United States has also developed its own version of the Shahed drone, known as The Low-cost Uncrewed (Unmanned) Combat Attack System (LUCAS). For those who may not understand the reason behind this move, it is largely due to cost considerations. Many of the weapons currently used by the United States are very expensive to produce and deploy. As a result, there is a growing need to develop cheaper but still effective drones and missiles.

For instance, it doesn't make sense to use a missile worth millions of dollars to intercept a drone that costs about $20,000. With its current air superiority over Iran, the more practical approach is to rely on these lower-cost weapons for such engagements.
they ought to have known that in advance ,especially after the 12 day war in June.

“Begging” for what assistance? Trump simply doesn’t want to spend much using expensive missiles interceptors against cheap drones,he has seen that Iran just doesn’t worth the much energy….

I'm not big on conspiracies or anything.

But can someone explain the "Jewish" agenda.

Cause tbvh for Trump (who campaigned on an anti-war policy) to start a conflict in the Middle East without the approval of Congress...

idk mehn.
an agenda must be agenda-ing.
The Jews controls almost everything on earth. They own almost all medias, they control football too, they control music & entertainment, they control how we spend our money..

During the Era of Hitler, he saw the Jews for who they're and then he declared war against them, for Jews to leave the then west Germany..

It was the jews that escalated the whole thing and blackmail hitler to the First World War... Many world leader knows this but they're being hold onto one thing or the other..

Ohh, the Jews also control Guns & Bombs productions..

You have to make friends during war!

With the way Iran is pounding them, they have no option that to seek help.

Pentagon even confirmed they copied Iran’s drone tech!

In response to a question about buying Ukraine's drones, President Donald Trump told Reuters Thursday, "I'll take any assistance from any country."

That is a humble and scared tone. I pray God gives him the wisdom to end this way and sue for peace.

You may think you know or have it all, until war starts. It's your ability to adjust that determines whether you can succeed or survive. Even Russia as advanced as they are had to rely on the same Iranian drone. Ukraine in return had to start developing their own affordable and effective missiles.

you mean the USA version can intercept missiles? They will still have to rely on the very expensive interceptor missiles to stop iran's drones

...Nope,try&read the news again... America never provided Ukraine with drone interceptors but the patriot system so now America needs a cheap one like the interceptor the Ukrainians developed locally which is way far cheaper (1000 USD) compared to their patriot system which cost millions of dollars... Iranians are using cheap drones of 35,000 USD to cause havoc while America are using like 4 Milly USD to intercept so it is very logical for Trump to seek alternatives to cut spending

He is a Christian and is killing civilians!

Is it Jesus that inspired the killings or the Holy spirit?

Trump must have prayed in Jesus name for the misiles to go kill the children in Gaza and Palestine!

The whole discussion is about cheaper defense drones Ukrainians is using against Russia purchased Iran suicide drones...in the aim of cutting cost since missiles defenses are very expensive

US made weapons are overly expensive. How can one shot of interceptor cost 1m and a shahed cost just 20k to make.

Na war go kill US economy.

Some defensive weapons were developed for Ukraine to stop the Shahid drones, and they were very effective. At least they can use it to match Iran's Shahid drones cost.

Ukraine tried their best to put up a solid fight with Russia. Half and a quarter of Russian soldiers are dead or have fled the country.No young Russian wants to do anything with the country's military because the pay is so low.The only thing keeping Putin still standing is the nuclear weapons.
Dey play.. half of Russian military is down? And Ukrain never take over any land in Russia, not to talk of taking back the over 30 percent lands Russia has taken away from Ukrain? Are u people normal at all? Like, at least, ukrain should take back their occupied lands. For a weakened and useless Russia, Ukrain should have taken back their lands from Russia.
