I have got some old drone stuff hanging about! Just having a tidy.
❗️The first confirmed footage of the American kamikaze drone LUCAS being used during Operation Epic Fury against a target of pro-Iranian forces in the area of the city of Mahmur in Iraq's Nineveh province.
This is interesting

Systems like that are great for point defence but not cheap. Even though the cost per effect is lower than traditional anti air interceptors. Ukraine has a very long border and lots of “low cost” targets. So I think the solution fits a different niche.

I have to say it’s frustrating to hear an official talking about Russia loosing its supplier of one way attack drones with respect to Iran. It was a technology transfer deal. They are made in Russia.
Britain is a 'fake ally' now according to Fox News
❗️Ukrainian defense company The Fourth Law has developed the "Zero-8" — an interceptor drone with an autonomous target acquisition and guidance system.
High value targets can be hit by Irans targeting systems and weapons
❗️Test of the 🇺🇦Ukrainian Magura naval drone equipped with launchers for anti-air intercept drones. As stated, such naval platforms have already been combat-tested and are capable of operating in groups.

Fox News praised US “AI superweapons” allegedly used in Iran.
But the footage they aired shows Ukraine’s STING interceptor drone, developed by Ukrainian engineers from the @WildHornets.blusky team.
Ukraine noticed quickly.

There aren’t many of these to go around.

1/ Russian commentators are sounding the alarm over America's use of a new kamikaze drone against Iran, the Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS). They note that it appears to have an integrated Starlink terminal and warn that it's a serious threat to Russia. ⬇️
A somewhat technical commentary at this chaotic time. This may have been unlucky but I can help feeling that the UK needs to change its attitude to ground based air defence. You need the final layer when facing multiple low cost drones. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter
The Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom announced that the first Ukrainian defense plant has begun operating in the UK. It is a production facility of the company Ukrspecsystems, which specializes in the manufacturing of drones.

China’s large fleet of air-independent propulsion AIP submarines is set to become significantly more lethal. The introduction of the next-generation YJ-19 hypersonic missile dramatically elevates their already serious anti-ship punch 🇨🇳🚀

If you know the date and time then quite precisely. Otherwise you may be able to narrow the options.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STORY BRITAIN & NATO CANNOT HIDE FROM
I was very aware of this but the embargo was only lifted Friday and it has huge implications.
A real life war game where a new Ukrainian brigade took on a British one ended up with the British wiped out ‘in extraordinary quick time’.
The
🇺🇦 The Pantsir-S1 air defense system misses a Ukrainian kamikaze drone by a narrow margin, after which the drone hits the system itself.
How difficult it is now to hit small drones with missiles from classic air defense systems.

From Instagram. Adaption is going to take time. I’m glad exercises are taking place.
