Russia provokes U.S. with first-ever strike on American target PHOTO
The drone factory in Kyiv, which was destroyed by a Russian ballistic missile on Friday, was owned by a U.S. corporation registered in Delaware, appearing to mark the first time Moscow has targeted an American company in the conflict, The Guardian reports.
Terminal Autonomy produces precision "deep-strike" drones equipped with guidance systems that are resistant to Russian jamming signals, according to a person familiar with the company, The Guardian reports.
The term "terminal autonomy" refers to the final phase of a kamikaze drone attack, in which artificial intelligence takes control of the weapon after defensive forces disrupt radio signals or mobile networks.
Government records show that the corporation was registered in Delaware in 2023.
The company’s website states: "We deploy loitering munitions and AI-guided precision munitions that are already in active service against enemy assets on the front line."
Terminal Autonomy did not respond to an emailed request for comment, The Guardian reports. Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence also did not respond to an email request for comment.
Russians do not care who owns the facility – It is a target to them
Anthony Vinci, a former senior U.S. intelligence official and author of the book "The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America," said:
"Russia does not care who owns the manufacturing facility. It is still a target. They do not care whether it is American-owned or belongs to someone else."
Earlier in July, Donald Trump, who had previously been lukewarm about efforts to arm Ukraine, said that the United States would license Ukraine to produce Patriot air defense missiles.
Vinci said: "I think that if Patriot missiles or any American-made system were produced in Ukraine, the Russians would target that production facility."
Russia’s state news agency TASS was the first to report the attack on Sunday, citing the Russian Ministry of Defence as its source.
The report did not reveal that the factory was owned by a U.S. company, but it mentioned that "specialists from a Ukrainian-American company" were working there.
TASS accurately reported that the factory produced the AQ-400 Scythe and AQ-100 Bayonet drones.
No one was killed in the attack, according to a person familiar with the company.
