"Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Secret Military Drone Project Unveiled"
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is reportedly working on a secretive military drone project, inspired by Ukraine's use of drones on the battlefield, with the help of Google alum Sebastian Thrun. The project aims to provide an American alternative to Chinese drones and develop unmanned aircraft systems specifically for battlefield use. Schmidt's recent visits to Ukraine have influenced the project, and it remains largely undisclosed with only a handful of people involved. Schmidt has been advocating for military technology investments and leveraging his government connections to inform his new drone project.
