“We know everything about drones”: Trump said he does not need Ukraine’s help

Trump does not need Ukraine’s experience in drone warfare, which impresses even NATO.

US President Donald Trump said that the US military has sufficient experience in the field of drones and does not need Ukraine’s help , despite its significant combat experience in combating drones. He said this in a telephone interview with Fox News , commenting on possible cooperation with Kyiv in the field of countering drones against the backdrop of the war in the Middle East.

According to Trump, the United States has its own technology and capabilities to combat drones:

“I’ll tell you one thing about Ukraine. They have to pay for everything, and they pay through NATO. When they buy missiles from us, when they buy anything from us, the money doesn’t go to them, NATO pays the bills. Do they help us defend against [Iranian] drones? No, we don’t need their help defending against drones. We know more about drones than anyone. We actually have the best drones in the world.”

The statement came amid discussions of possible cooperation between the United States and Ukraine in countering Iranian drones. Previously, the Ukrainian side offered its American partners technologies for intercepting Shahed drones, which are actively used by Russia in the war against Ukraine.

Ukrainian engineers have developed inexpensive drone interceptors and drone detection systems that have proven effective on the battlefield. According to experts, Ukraine today has one of the world’s largest practical experiences in countering massive drone attacks.

At the same time, according to media reports, a few months ago the Trump administration showed no interest in the Ukrainian proposal for cooperation in this area. However, after the start of large-scale Iranian drone attacks in the Middle East, interest in the Ukrainian experience began to be discussed again in Washington.

Ukraine, in turn, is actively developing its own drone industry and countermeasures. Since the start of the full-scale war, Russia has launched tens of thousands of drones into Ukrainian territory, forcing Ukrainian military and engineers to look for cheaper and more effective ways to protect against such attacks.

Experts note that it is this experience that has made Ukrainian developments in demand among allies. Some countries are already showing interest in cooperating with Kyiv in the field of anti-drone technologies that allow them to counter mass attacks by relatively cheap drones.

  1. I wish a Ukrainian drone would finally judge pedophile pro-ruSSian Zionist Donald JackaSS Trump! 😤

  2. “We don’t need Ukrainian help we can destroy their drones with our $3 million Patriot missiles” TACO

    • Taco is too much os an immature idiot to admit that Zelensky is the one with the cards.

      • He can’t admit that the US can”t defend the oil fields in the ME. So in his mind neither can anyone else.

        • His malignant narcissism is the only one with a body. Usually, a body (person) possesses narcissism, but Taco’s narcissism is embodied by a fat, big-mouthed, bad educated babboon with a taccy looking spray-on tan.

  3. Taco’s lies reveal his stark narcissism. The ones to pay for his ignorance and arrogance are those who are fighting in his useless war.
