#Drones have reshaped the battlefield in #Ukraine and in the Middle East. #Drone technology has many iterations from #Iran ’s #Shahed and #Turkey ’s #Bayraktar to the homemade war drone. We look into the history, the geopolitics, and the prospect of teaming drones up with #AI in this week's #TheGlobalJigsaw - recommended listen:
The boss lady on a #Caturday morning, after celebrating #TheGlobalJigsaw 's New York Festivals award... yet despite the jolly distraction, she subbed and updated our latest episode on #drones - including #Iran attacking #Israel , a deep dive into the #UkraineWar and drone use in the #Sahel , plus a bit of #Drone history from the Queen bee on and #Shahed and #Bayraktar production - tune in, #CatsOfMastodon, you'll like it:
"Ukraine Targets Power Stations and Oil Depot in Russia with Kamikaze Drones, Sources Say
The source told Kyiv Post that SBU drones once again effectively targeted critical infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted military operations in Russia."
Look: British and American fighter jets are now shooting down Iranian #drones (#Shahed) over #Israel, #Syria and #Jordan. And yet they are not in a direct war with #Iran.
Why can't we shoot down exactly the same Shahed drones over #Ukraine, just like that - without a state of war?!
Going to try watching old TV from 2009 instead of checking for updates on the escalating air war over the Middle East right now.
Thank you to the soldiers intercepting attacks.
May all the people in harms way, in and out of uniform, be safe, any injured be healed and comforted. May world leaders trying to convince themselves and each other to decrease the violence succeed.
#Iran launches limited attack on #Israel using #drones — is this just a preliminary to a broader #missile attack, or simply a way to tell their proxies “Look, we can hit the #Jews at will” while causing minimal damage.
U.S. #drones are failing to perform, The #WSJ reports.
Hoping to attract business, U.S. #startups have provided Ukrainian forces with drones. The drones have proven to be high in cost and low quality pushing Ukraine to turn to Chinese products.
Ukraine’s military intelligence hints drone attacks on military facilities in Russia to continue, ‘range will increase’
According to preliminary data the attack caused significant damage to production capabilities of Shahed facility. Resuming production will be difficult
“These are good results & we are all happy about it. I think that there will be similar joys in the future. And their range will increase.”
Somehow i think Putin didn't expect Ukraine could strike so massively, all over Russia. He has at least an internal PR problem..
Also Putin has to think about how to react. He can't defend all infrastructure in Russia that's simply too much. Also he can't destroy Ukraine's ability to launch drone strikes.. 🤔 #Ukraine#Russia#drones#geopolitics@Geopolitics
