Iran's attacks raise concerns about U.S. drone readiness

Season 2026 Episode 66 | 7m 02s

The war in Ukraine is providing a real-time testing ground for nations defending against drones. But unidentified drones are also an ongoing concern in the United States. This month, a swarm of drones repeatedly hovered around Barksdale Air Force Base in northwest Louisiana. Liz Landers discussed more with retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Dave Deptula.
