US Marine Corps urgently modernizes its counter-drone capabilities to keep pace with Russia and China

• US Marines want better counter-drone capabilities to compete with adversaries like Russia and China.
• The Corps aims to field upgraded air defense systems and acquire its own drones as soon as possible.
• They're also training in other tactics, like using traditional firearms to shoot down drones.

The Marine Corps wants to field better counter-drone capabilities yesterday. Since that is not possible, the service says it's looking to get them to Marines right now, or at least very soon.
