we were relying on a precision missile mentality. That our defensive missiles were much more costly than less expensive drones. That the Ukraine had developed successful responses to Russian drone incursions.
I had not read we had a ready made response to Iranian drones and that Ukraine offered to train us on their findings.
I have read that Iranian drones have persistently penetrated our defensive situations in Gulf Coast Countries.
So if we have forces in Ukraine learning from their advances in drone technology, you would think that would have been passed up the chain of command.
I have not read that we have employed the techniques used by Ukraine. Again, I don't often read military journals, so I might be ignorant on this matter.
I do fear that Iran's experience with drones will have an impact on the Strait of Hormuz.
