Pentagon to continue delivery of combat and defense drone systems in Middle East

The Pentagon has confirmed it will continue delivering combat and defense drone systems in the Middle East.

It added that deploying these drone systems in the region aims to accelerate the production of advanced military technologies, according to Al Arabiya.

The Pentagon also stated that another goal of deploying drone systems in the Middle East is to enhance capabilities at a lower cost, with plans to have more than 25,000 drone and counter-drone systems in the region by 2026.

The announcement comes after the Republican Party lost its majority in Congress, which returned to the Democrats, and following statements from members of the winning party in the midterm elections calling for an end to the war with Iran.
