Austin: Ukraine should use drones instead of long-range missiles
reported by Mehr News Agency quoted by Rashatodi, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin says that instead of using Western long-range missiles to attack Russia, Ukraine can use long-range drones, which are both more effective and cheaper, and in addition , does not need a license!
Kiev has long demanded the use of Western long-range weapons and the issuance of a license to use them to strike deep into Russian soil. Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned about the issuance of such a license and has described it as a direct war with the West and emphasized that such an action will change Moscow’s nuclear doctrine.
Austin, talking to reporters at the meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels, refused to answer a question about Western long-range missiles and whether Putin’s “nuclear extortion” was successful. is, dodged.
He said in this regard: We have seen Ukraine use the offensive capabilities of long-range drones, which have had a great effect. They are able to produce these drones in Ukraine and can increase production volume quickly. Austin added: These drones have shown that they are very effective and accurate.
The US Secretary of Defense continued: Considering the balance sheet and the financial statement, as well as the effects that these drones create on the battlefield, I think they have an extraordinary capability.
Ukraine launched a series of drone attacks earlier this year against Russian infrastructure, including fuel depots and refineries. It is said that America has pressured Kiev to end these attacks and the reason for that is the severe disruption in oil prices in the year leading up to the American elections.
