Pentagon: US Drone Output Years Behind Ukraine's Wartime Production Pace

🏭 PENTAGON — The country threatening a "very powerful" strike can't build drones as fast as the country it arms. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Ukraine's wartime industry produces cheap attrition drones at scale the US defense industrial base can't replicate for years. With CENTCOM's munitions stockpile already cited as the real ceiling on strike resumption, this gap matters: sustained pressure on Iran requires volume the Pentagon doesn't have. Thursday's threat looks credible only if it stays surgical.
