- US to form specialised ‘anti-drone force’
The US Air Force is establishing a specialized anti-drone force to defend military bases against missile and drone attacks, driven by vulnerabilities exposed in recent conflicts and incidents like Ukraine’s 2025 'Operation Spiderweb'. The initiative includes dedicated air base defense units and a $1.4 billion budget proposal for missile defense systems, though operational deployment remains uncertain.
