Ukrainian Troops Train U.S. Army on Drone Warfare

The US Army is intensifying its collaboration with Ukraine to adapt drone warfare, integrating Ukrainian drone tactics and leveraging about 1,900 drones learned from Kyiv’s use in recent Saber Junction drills in Germany, with Ukrainian personnel advising American troops. Military leaders are debating how to structure ground forces for a future where drones are ubiquitous, shifting from a dedicated drone battalion to decentralized, unit-wide drone capabilities amid leadership changes and broader efforts to counter Iranian drone threats.
