The Pentagon is desperate to catch up to China and Russia, and has announced ambitious plans to “unleash US drone dominance.”
But the Trump Administration’s Executive Orders to advance drone manufacturing in the United States ironically repealed previous restrictions on Chinese components in US military drones.
The removal of those restrictions were a boon to drone companies that source parts from China. That includes Unusual Machines, a company with Donald Trump, Jr. as a key investor and board member.
The President’s son has other investments in drone companies, who have also been awarded large Pentagon contracts. Anduril now carries a private valuation of over $30 billion.
But the performance of the drones themselves is poor, in testing with the US military, and under battlefield conditions in Ukraine. The US Navy and Air Force accuse the companies of “misguiding” them, and operators in Ukraine refuse to deploy US drones at all, even though they’re free.
五角大廈急於追趕中國和俄羅斯,並宣布了一項雄心勃勃的計畫,要「釋放美國的無人機霸權」。
然而,川普政府為推動美國本土無人機製造而簽署的行政命令,卻諷刺性地廢除了先前針對美軍無人機中使用中國零組件的限制。
這些限制的取消,反而成了大量依賴中國零件的無人機公司的利多。其中就包括 Unusual Machines——一家由小唐納.川普(Donald Trump Jr.)擔任主要投資人及董事的公司。
總統之子還投資了其他無人機企業,這些公司同樣獲得了五角大廈的大額合約。其中 Anduril 目前的私人估值已超過 300 億美元。
然而,這些無人機本身的表現卻相當糟糕——無論是在美軍測試中,還是在烏克蘭的實際戰場環境下。美國海軍與空軍指控這些公司「誤導」軍方,而在烏克蘭的一線操作人員甚至完全拒絕部署美製無人機,即便這些裝備是免費提供的。
