The U.S. Air Force has agreed to purchase a batch of interceptor drones from a company supported by President Trump's son, with the quantity unspecified. As the U.S.-Iran war enters its third month, this move deepens the connection between the U.S. military and defense contractors associated with the Trump family.

Velikovich, co-founder of Powerus, stated that the company will sell these drones to the Pentagon after a demonstration in Arizona, marking Powerus's first contract to sell such weapons to the U.S. military. The company declined to disclose the terms or scale, but the military often engages in such transactions when evaluating new weapon systems. This move aligns with the U.S. strategy of using inexpensive interceptor drones to counter Iranian attack drones rather than relying on expensive missiles. Reports indicate that the U.S. military has deployed 10,000 AI-equipped Merops interceptor drones developed in Ukraine to the Middle East.
