Russia-Ukraine War: US to send Black Hornet nano drones to Ukraine for the first time|Oneindia News
The Pentagon has confirmed that it will be sending Black Hornet nano drones to Ukraine as part of a $400m security assistance package.
This confirmation comes against the backdrop of reports of Ukrainian counteroffensive being futile and tardy.
The U.S. Department of Defense had announced USD 400 million in additional security assistance for Ukraine on yesterday, including air defense missiles, armored vehicles and small drones, as Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russia grinds on.The new aid package will include U.S. furnished Black Hornet surveillance drones for the first time.
The assistance is funded using the Presidential Drawdown Authority, or PDA, which authorizes the president to quickly transfer articles and services from U.S. stocks without congressional approval during an emergency.
The material will come from U.S. excess inventory.
This is the 43rd security assistance package approved by the United States for Ukraine.
More than USD 43 billion in U.S. military aid has been provided since Russia’s invasion in 2022.
As Vladimir Putin commemorates Victory Day with a massive military parade and China's Xi Jinping by his side, Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of violating a short-lived three-day ceasefire. While Putin vows to be an “indestructible barrier against Nazism,” Ukraine dismisses the rhetoric and escalates drone attacks on Moscow and Belgorod. Russia counters with claims of over 5,000 Ukrainian violations. With airstrikes and accusations intensifying, the ceasefire has collapsed into a fresh wave of conflict and political posturing on both sides.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff, Joe Kasper, is stepping down amid a deepening leak scandal tied to unauthorized Signal chats about U.S. strikes on Yemen. His resignation follows the ousting of three top Pentagon advisors, reportedly over clashes with Kasper.

Despite Trump-era tariffs and Pentagon bans, nearly every drone used by American companies still contains critical Chinese components. From engines to airframes and batteries, U.S. drone tech — including military-grade hardware — remains heavily reliant on China. Silicon Valley startups, defense contractors, and even top officials like VP J.D. Vance have been exposed using Chinese tech. With China controlling nearly 90% of global drone hardware, experts warn that any cutoff couldcripple the U.S. drone industry for up to a year.

Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended from command at Fort McCoy after the base failed to display official portraits of President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The glaring omission sparked backlash when empty frames were spotted on the command wall. Defense officials launched an immediate investigation, and the Department of Defense later updated the wall, saying “we fixed it.” Secretary Hegseth confirmed the suspension on X. The military called it an “unusual oversight,” but refused to share further details about the decision.
