MBDA has been awared $422m to install 50 kW DragonFire lasers aboard 4 Royal Navy destroyers by 2027: gov.uk/government/news/boost… These were recently tested against 650 km/h drones at sea. It'll be the first European 'high power laser weapon' in service.

First good look at a Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo heavyweight cruise missile on a combat mission, seen here having already penetrated almost 1000 km into Russian airspace. At least two of the 40-foot-long missiles hit Russia's VNIIR Progress electronics plant this morning.

This mining at operational depth is a new development in Ukraine's long-standing campaign of tactical precision mining of Russian logistical routes near the frontlines using heavy bomber drones such as the “Vampire”. 4/

The Russians have recovered cassettes containing either 48 or 10 landmines of the IBM anti-vehicle/anti-personnel series. These devices are equipped with “PDP” movement-sensitive fuzes and are powerful enough to immobilize vehicles, leaving them easy targets for strike UAVs. 3/

Tomorrow, I will publish a long detailed thread about the ukrainian middle strike. I mapped more than 1 000 strikes since january. I start getting tired and every time i open X I see that geolocators (@moklasen @99Dominik_ @neonhandrail... thanks to them !) found new destroyed trucks for the map... I will put everything throughClaude to have detailed statistics later, I still have 13 days of march with tons of geos to add...

#NEWS: We have been awarded an Active Protection System (APS) program of record by the US Army, equipping ground vehicles with advanced electronic warfare capabilities. The program leverages our ROOK system to disrupt and defeat incoming threats, including unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and anti-tank guided missiles, enhancing crew and vehicle survivability and mission effectiveness.

The funny thing is people rate their own economic circumstances far more favorably now than they did during the Great Recession. This lines up with the data. It's the external economy that rates poorly. Explanations that rely on people not doing well individually don't fit.

A TRV-150 tactical resupply drone fires a 70 mm Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) rocket during flight testing at Fort Rucker, Alabama, May 20. The test marked the first time the system flew and successfully fired from its newly integrated three-shot launcher.

Compilation of Ukrainian mid-range strike drones hitting numerous Russian military logistics vehicles deep behind the frontline in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk Oblasts. Ukrainian strike drones continue to wreak havoc on the main Russian supply routes in southern Ukraine.

Emerging aerial threats are reshaping how forces think about protection, mobility and response at the tactical edge. Our Precision Grenadier System reflects the growing need for adaptable Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems capabilities built for rapidly evolving operational environments,

Exemple of how large new ukrainian 🇺🇦 fortifications are with this video. New obstacle lines are being dug (I cannot map too much because there is lots of clouds), but I will soon update the map. Now, the most important lines are finished, which is promising for Ukraine.

For 20 years, a $6 knob that takes one hour to 3D print has been grounding Black Hawk helicopters four times a month, and the contractor responsible won't sell us the part or the IP rights to fix it ourselves. So instead, American taxpayers have been paying $40,000 every single time to replace the entire system, multiplied by four times a month, for two decades. That is NOT a procurement problem, that is a shakedown, and it is exactly why right to repair has to be in this year's NDAA.

GeoConfirmed conflictmap UKR. We try to avoid statements but there are limits. After analyzing thousands of videos over more than four years, we feel we have earned the right to speak plainly: Russia is committing war crimes repeatedly and systematically and they are getting worse. The longer the West fails to respond decisively, the more these crimes continue. This inaction also sends a dangerous signal to other authoritarian regimes, suggesting that international law can be violated with little consequence. As a result, the boundaries of international law are becoming increasingly weak and difficult to enforce. The last few days have once again shown that the Russian regime is a terrorist regime that has little regard for humanitarian law: (1) After Ukraine agreed to a Russian 3-day ceasefire proposal, for the Russian commemoration of the end of World War II and its victory over Nazi Germany, Russia launched one of the most severe attacks on Kyiv since the beginning of the war, resulting in multiple civilian casualties. This stands in stark contrast to Russia’s public rhetoric about peace and historical memory. (2) It is not enough that Russia is deliberately targeting civilians in Kherson, also known as the “human safari”, it has now also started attacking clearly marked UN vehicles, which would represent another serious violation of international law. Attempts to hide or destroy evidence only make these actions more alarming. And its not the first time they try to hide or manipulate evidence. Western leaders, especially the Trump administration, should wake up instead of being so easily manipulated by the Russian regime. 0:00-0:17, location at 0:05 - United Nations (UN) vehicle was hit by Russian drones. 46.62328, 32.595023 JHFW 826 Kherson, Kherson Oblast, Ukraine 0:18-End - United Nations (UN) vehicles were hit by Russian drones. 46.621161, 32.576600 JHCG FJ9Kherson, Kherson Oblast, Ukraine Great work by @99Dominik_!
