In April of this year, the Pentagon leadership promised to transfer gun trucks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine to repel Shahed-136 attacks. Meanwhile, the defense department did not conclude a contract for their supply with the manufacturing company.

In the specification, the anti-wood systems were listed as 30-mm gun trucks. Apparently, behind this designation are the pickup trucks produced by Northrop Grumman with a 30-mm Bushmaster automatic gun equipped with a modern guidance system.
UAVs “Shahed” for attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, the occupiers began to use last fall. After the first attacks, the Pentagon leadership placed an order for the development of an anti-drone system. The corresponding tender was held as soon as possible. At the end of January, an anti-aircraft pickup truck with a Bushmaster gun called the M-ACE manufactured by Northrop Grumman was tested in the United States.
They promised to place an order for production at the Pentagon in April, that is, three months after successful tests of the anti-drone system. However, to date this promise has not been fulfilled.
