The U.S. is vulnerable to an attack similar to Ukraine’s Sunday surprise drone strikes inside Russian territory, defense experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Ukraine covertly transported containers full of drones deep into Russia over the course of several months, hammering a large portion of Russia’s strategic assets such as bombers and airbases when the drones were activated to attack on June 1.
While the U.S. evaluated the consequences of the attack on future peace prospects, America is largely unprepared to defend against the possibility that an adversary could unleash a similar covert drone attack against key assets situated on American soil in the future, national security experts explained to the DCNF.
“We don’t have a good counter-drone system protecting key U.S. infrastructure or military assets,” Jennifer Kavanaugh, director of military analysis at Defense Priorities, told the DCNF. “Obviously, the military is working on it. They’re very aware of this gap. They’ve been studying it for a number of years, and there are some systems, so I don’t want to imply there’s nothing.”
