Pete Hegseth is doing an outstanding job!

Pete Hegseth is War Criminal

 

Hell of a thread
5 posts by a clown.
And one dissenting opinion.

Shear volume posting does not increase the value of a thread.

 

it angers liberals Trump isnt getting Americans killed.

 

No one can deny that Pete Hegseth is an absolute killer.

 

Don't know if I can use my Delta Sky Miles at this point.
So I'm gonna say no

In July of 2025, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth headed up a Pentagon event showing off 18 American-made drone prototypes, that had gone from drawing board to development in just an average of 18 months. By comparison, the Navy's F/A-XX to replace the aging F/A-18 multirole jets with a modern platform started in 2012, and they haven't even chosen a design.

One of the prototypes shown off by Hegseth looked more than a little familiar to anyone following the Russo-Ukraine War drone campaign, because it was a virtual copy of Iran's infamous Shahed drone, now made in Russia, too, and manufactured in the thousands. Only this one is made in Arizona by a startup called SpektreWorks.

They cost roughly $35,000 apiece and have an attack range of roughly 450 miles.

Iran calls it Shahed, or Witness. The Russians call their domestically produced version Geran-2, or Geranium. We call ours the Low-Cost Unmanned Combat Attack System, or LUCAS, because of course we do.

Anyway.

At the time, Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael told reporters, "It’s an extraordinary achievement. This kind of thing was going to take five, six years."

This was all in response to an executive order by President Donald Trump, directing the Pentagon to "procure, integrate, and train using low-cost, high-performing drones manufactured in the United States."

Trump called it "unleashing American drone dominance," and not even a year later, here we are.

On Saturday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that LUCAS flew in combat for the first time during Operation Epic Fury, not much longer than two years after SpektreWorks began developing them: "Task Force Scorpion Strike, for the first time in history, is using one-way attack drones in combat during Operation Epic Fury. These low-cost drones, modeled after Iran’s Shahed drones, are now delivering American-made retribution."

"For the price of a single Tomahawk, you can launch 57 LUCAS drones," analyst Shanaka Anslem Perera posted over the weekend. What's even more remarkable is the cost savings — even over the Russian model. "A Shahed-136 in Russian production costs approximately $80,000 per unit at the Alabuga facility. The American reverse-engineered version costs less than half the Russian licensed copy of the Iranian original.

"SpektreWorks received a $30 million initial production contract. That buys 857 kamikaze drones for what the Navy spends maintaining a handful of Tomahawks."

LUCAS also has some nifty electronics under the hood. The Shahed/Geran is a fairly simple creature, capable of flying to a pre-programmed location and blowing up. Each LUCAS is integrated into the Pentagon's MUSIC mesh network — some even with built-in SpaceX Starshield terminals! — allowing operators to reprogram it in real-time, and making it into a communications node, expanding every local commander's view of the battlespace.

 

18 months before July 2025, means that the drone prototypes were started in Jan 2024 when Biden was POTUS !

ROFLMAO.

comparing drones to F/18 fighter jets, , ????

 

Hegseth is doing a fantastic job and the USA has the support of its allies across North America and Europe.

How can anyone defend the Iranian regime? These are truly horrible people who have made so many people suffer. No more.

The Trump foreign policy has been more successful than any President in many decades.


GOOD DAY

 

The CIA building just got bombed, the US embassy in Saudi/Iraq/UAE has been bombed and you braindead cultists are still sucking on his nuts. If this was any other democratic admin yall dumbass would be crying impeachment

 

LOL yeah Biden is the reason you dumbass didn't evacuate the embassy personal before hand. Your dumbass cult leader didn't even think Iran was going to bomb the gulf states and did zero preparations. Hegseth has blood on his hands ND so do you dumbasses

Nobody buys yalls low iq propaganda no more.
