How paratroopers are tackling drone warfare as the US Army bets big on the tech

US Army soldiers are tearing apart drones, printing out new parts, and flying their own creations into live-fire drills - a crash-course in the messy, fast-paced world of drone warfare. The Army has launched a sweeping push to weave drones into combat across the force. For now, that work can look improvised and experimental, with soldiers moving quickly and sharing feedback as they go. In line with the Army's significant transformation initiative, over the past nine months, the Bayonet Innovation Team of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, part of the Army's Southern European Task Force, Africa, has been building, flying, and reconfiguring drones. In exercises in Lithuania, Tunisia, and Germany, the brigade used first-person view drones to strike static and moving targets, 3D-printed parts to test new designs, and artificial intelligence-enabled software to refine tactics.

The West isn't deep in the all-out drone race. That could be a good thing.

In Ukraine, low-cost drones have upended the battlefield - spotting enemy troops, foiling maneuvers, and wrecking tanks with gear sometimes worth just a few hundred dollars. Russia and Ukraine are both betting big on this inexpensive technology. Ukraine said that it made 2.2 million drones last year and aims to make 4 million this year, and Russian President Vladimir Putin said in April that Russia made more than 1.5 million drones last year. And there are plans to expand that.

Paratrooper who scored the US Army's first drone-on-drone kill says it felt like a fight out of 'Star Wars.'

Earlier this month at a training exercise, 1st Lt. Francesco La Torre from the 173rd Airborne Brigade flew a first-person view drone carrying a Claymore mine into a fixed-wing uncrewed aerial vehicle, according to a new Army press release. La Torre piloted the drone towards the UAS as another member of his team armed and detonated the payload. Then La Torre looked up from his end-user device (EUD) and saw the fixed-wing drone fall out of the sky.
