Kiev/ Ukraine in Arabic/ The U.S. military will drastically increase its military UAVs' operations over the next four years, in a bid to boost intelligence and strike capabilities across a growing number of conflict zones, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The Pentagon is planning to expand the number of daily flights from 61 at present to 90 by 2019, a senior defense official told the Wall Street Journal.
The plan to increase by 50% the number of daily drone flights would broaden surveillance and intelligence collection in such locales as Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, the South China Sea and North Africa. While expanding surveillance, the Pentagon plan also grows the capacity forlethal airstrikes, according to the report.
Under the new plans, the U.S. Air Force, which currently carries out the bulk of drone missions, would get help from the Army, Special Operations Command and government contractors.
