US military official warns of possible war reaching US
High-ranking American military officials warn that the next war could directly impact U.S. territory, due to advances in drone capabilities, cyberattacks, and long-range weapons that may disrupt the transfer of troops and supplies before they reach external battlefields. The vice chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff explained that these new challenges require a rethink of traditional military assumptions, especially given the potential targeting of critical infrastructure such as military bases, aircraft, and American military sites—particularly as threats from China and other adversaries with advanced cyber capabilities persist. The military is also focusing on developing operational capabilities, including strategies to continue fighting during communication blackouts and strengthening defenses against drones. Field operations are being simulated to test new technologies, amidst criticism of the department's delays in keeping pace with technological advancements.
