US declared attempts to increase supply of components for drones
US Army Chief of Staff, General Randy A. George said the United States is desperately trying to increase the supply of domestic and European components for drones after banning the use of Chinese parts; now their volume is measured ‘in handfuls’, RIA Novosti reports
According to the military, the law in the United States prohibits the use of components manufactured in China for the production of drones. This has led to limited supplies of motors, speed controllers, antennas and transceivers, so the army had to switch to domestic and European suppliers, but the supply volumes are now too small.
As Randy George stated, the United States is desperately trying to increase the number. Speaking about the production of artillery shells, the US Army Chief of Staff also noted that in August, 40,000 155mm shells were produced, the United States is approaching 50,000 shells per month, and a year later, the production is expected to reach 100,000 per month.
