U.S. Military Claims to Form Multinational Attack Drone Force, Questioned "Why Not Stop Attacking Other Nations' People"

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] The Israeli "Jerusalem Post" reported that on the 13th local time, the U.S. Central Command announced the establishment of the first-ever cross-domain, multinational joint attack drone force. This is an important step for the U.S. Central Command in laying out a series of new drone technology initiatives.

The "Jerusalem Post" stated that for many years, the Central Command has been on the front lines of responding to drone threats; now, as drone warfare increasingly becomes mainstream, the command is working to improve its supporting deployments. However, the U.S. Central Command did not specify which countries would participate in the announcement.

Reports indicate that this force is called the "Falcon Strike" task force and will operate one-way attack drones. These drones will be operated by military personnel from the U.S. and regional partners and can launch attacks from the air, sea, and underwater. 

The U.S. Central Command stated that it has initiated consultations and formal invitation procedures with regional partners. In response, many American netizens expressed concerns and opposition. Some netizens claimed that taxpayers' money is being spent more on overseas battlefields rather than improving the lives of people in the U.S. Others questioned, "Why doesn't the U.S. military simply withdraw from the Middle East and stop attacking other nations' people?" Some also doubted, "Is this really protecting America?" (Yiven)
