The United States does not rule out a collision with China in the near future, which is rapidly strengthening its position on the world stage. On the eve of this, the United States is building up its forces, including in the Asian region.

Washington plans to deploy several thousand unmanned aerial vehicles around China, Deputy head of the Pentagon Kathleen Hicks said. At the same time, she directly stated that all the measures taken are aimed at countering China. For everything about everything, the American Ministry of Defense takes from one and a half to two years. It is emphasized that the territories of countries located next to China will be used to deploy American unmanned systems.

Over the next 18-24 months, we plan to introduce customizable autonomous systems on a scale of several thousand in several territories

Hicks said.

The operation to deploy drones will be carried out within the framework of the Replicator project, aimed at countering the mass production of drones for the Chinese army. At the same time, the Pentagon plans that American drones will surpass Chinese in all respects and they will be "harder to shoot down."

Earlier it was reported that the Pentagon intends to put into service the US Air Force from 1 to 2 thousand XQ-58A Valkyrie drones, which will be controlled by artificial intelligence. According to reports, the military intends to receive up to $ 6 billion for all this. This drone is planned to be used together with F-22 and F-35 fighters, including for attacking targets on the ground and in the air. The XQ-58A Valkyrie will be available in two versions, one for fighter protection and the second as a kamikaze drone.
