NEW YORK, August 13. /TASS/. The Central Command of the US armed forces (CENTCOM) plans to set up the first-ever multinational, multi-domain attack drone strike force, Task Force Falcon Strike, it said.

It said in a statement that the unit will employ one-way attack drones consisting of unmanned systems from above, on, and below the sea operated by military support staff from the United States and regional partners.

CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper said that the new group will be an offshoot of the Scorpion Strike unit created nine months ago, the first specialized drone strike squadron in the Middle East. According to him, the United States has already begun consultations with regional partners, and as they join, the capabilities of the new group will expand, forming a unified multinational deterrence system in the region.
