rump officials point out ‘tactical error’ they made in build-up to Iran war: ‘This was it’
Months before the Iran war, the US reportedly ignored an offer for anti-drone defense help from battle-tested experts in Ukraine.
Midway through last year, the Trump administration reportedly brushed off an offer from Ukraine for assistance in strengthening defense systems against a lethal, widely used Iranian drone.
Now, with Iranian drones having killed multiple US troops, American officials consider ignoring the initial outreach a major misstep.
"If there's a tactical error or a mistake we made leading up to this [war in Iran], this was it," a US official told Axios.
BREAKING: After most flights have already been canceled in the region, and 3 days into the war, Trump’s US State Department has just now issued a 'DEPART NOW ' alert for 14 Middle East Gulf countries.
This is how f-cked up and irresponsible this administration is. Americans are now in danger because these people are inexperienced.
‼️ There is a possibility that Russia may be sending Shahed-type drones (Russian name: Geran) to Iran. Iran has already shown interest in Russia's modified versions, such as Geran-3 and Geran-5, which are essentially inexpensive cruise missiles with improved speed (up to 600 km/h) and anti-jamming capabilities.
The factory in the Alabuga Special Economic Zone currently produces more than 500 drones per month and is constantly expanding. Experts note that the scale of production in Alabuga allows Moscow to export updated and "battle-tested" versions of the drones back to Iran.
‼️ Destroying the Russian factory that makes Shahed/Geran drones would be the right strategic decision.
"Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)..." - President Donald J. Trump
