US Army tests bunker-busting drone warhead

The U.S. Army has conducted a test of the BRAKER warhead, a new bunker-busting kinetic explosive round designed for delivery by infantry-operated drones. The test, carried out by drone operators on March 26, 2026, demonstrates a continued focus on enhancing ground forces' capabilities to destroy hardened targets. This development aligns with broader U.S. military budget priorities that emphasize expanding drone and precision-strike arsenals.
