[Drone Company Powerus Supported by Trump Family Signs Weapons Procurement Agreement with the U.S.] Odaily Planet Daily reports that the U.S. Air Force has agreed to purchase a batch of interceptor drones from a company supported by the son of former President Trump, though the quantity remains unspecified. As the U.S.-Iran war enters its third month, this move deepens the ties between the U.S. military and defense contractors associated with the Trump family. Powerus co-founder Velikovich stated that the company will sell these drones to the Pentagon following demonstrations in Arizona. This marks Powerus's first contract to sell such weapons to the U.S. military. The company declined to disclose the terms or scale of the deal, but such transactions are common when the military evaluates new weapon systems. The move aligns with the U.S. strategy of using low-cost interceptor drones to counter Iranian attack drones, rather than relying on expensive missiles. Reports indicate that the U.S. military has already deployed 10,000 AI-equipped Merops interceptor drones, developed in Ukraine, to the Middle East.
