WASHINGTON – US Central Command head, General Michael “Erik” Kurilla, said on Thursday that the US “Iranian drones are a threat in the region.”
“Iran commands an arsenal of drone systems ranging from small, short-range to modern intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance units,” he said. “They are building larger drones that can fly further with increasingly deadly payloads. We see the UVs of today the same way we viewed IEDs during our initial conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
“The American commitment to the region used to be measured by boots on the ground,” he said in a press briefing. “That is the old way of thinking. Rather, it should be measured by the strength of our partnerships.”
