Erik Prince Promotes Drone Services for Private Military Contractors in Ukraine
DEFENSE
Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater, is marketing private military contractor services in Ukraine, emphasizing the necessity of drones and electronic warfare capabilities. A former American special forces soldier noted that reliance on traditional infantry tactics among PMCs is outdated.
Historically, Prince secured lucrative contracts for deploying former military personnel for U.S. government operations. However, Blackwater's reputation suffered significantly after a 2007 incident in Baghdad, resulting in legal consequences and the firm's subsequent blacklist.
