The US Ministry of Defense Pentagon has issued a new decree regarding its soldiers. It has been said in this decree that American soldiers will now keep drones with them all the time. Soldiers will keep this drone in the way they keep ammunition and gun with them.

Will always keep a drone weighing 20 pounds
The Pentagon has said in its decree that all the soldiers from below to the top will keep drones with them. The soldiers will be trained before giving drones. The soldiers will be given a drone weighing at least 20 pounds, so that the soldiers can keep it properly with them.

Why will soldiers use drones?
1. According to Peter Hegseth, the US government has decided to use drones in military operations. America believes that the use of drones is necessary in the manner in which the pattern of war is changing. Donald Trump recently said that America is going to make millions of drones.
2. The drone has caused the most havoc in Ukraine Jung. Along with low cost, the drone has proved to be effective in accurate attacks. Ukraine and Russia soldiers are easily fighting the war in a gorilla manner through drones. Soldiers are also protecting themselves from the drone. This is the reason why America is going towards drone.
3. The US has also asked its soldiers to use drones. Because this will increase pressure on other countries. Other countries will also increase the use of drones like America. This will increase America’s drone sales. This decision of Pentagon is also being seen from the perspective of business.
