The US budget for 2027 will allocate USD 56 billion for “drone dominance,” US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on the sidelines of the Asian Security Summit in Singapore.
“We continue to learn from what Ukraine has done on the battlefield. It is not about having the exquisite system; it is the ability to scale it, scale it quickly while adapting, week after week. This is how quickly drone technology adapts,” Hegseth said.
“We’ve learned so much from Ukraine and how they operate. It is the absolute focus of where we are going,” he added.
