Gray Eagle drones could ‘drive the strategic course of the war in Ukraine’s favor’ and counter Russia’s use of Iranian drones
WASHINGTON—A bipartisan group of U.S. senators urged the Biden administration Tuesday to reconsider its decision not to give Ukraine advanced drones, saying that the technology could help Kyiv to hold its territory and gain battlefield momentum.
In a Nov. 22 letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, 16 senators urged the administration to give Ukraine MQ-1C armed drones, or Gray Eagles, which are medium-altitude drones that can fly for more than 24 hours.
