Footage allegedly shows Yemen's National Army engaging Ansar Allah forces from the strategic Jabal Rasin (Rasin Mountain) in Taiz Governorate. I am not sure whether this is confirmed or makes sense, as fighting is still ongoing for control of Jabal Jardad (Jardad Mountain), around 6 km east of Jabal Rasin.

Russia is carrying out a massive missile attack on Kyiv. More than 25 missiles have struck Kyiv, including Iskander-M ballistic missiles, allegedly North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles, and 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles. Additionally, Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers launched Kh-101 cruise missiles, while a Buyan-M-class corvette launched several 3M14 Kalibr cruise missiles, which are expected to enter Ukrainian airspace soon.

Earlier this morning, two U.S. Air Force (USAF) F-15E Multirole Fighters were shot down in a friendly fire incident and crashed in Kuwait. Footage from the scene shows one aircraft completely engulfed in flames, while the other appears to have sustained fire damage concentrated around its right engine.

China’s 6th Gen J-36 Stealth Air Superiority Fighter just completed another test flight. Early footage suggests the aircraft is highly maneuverable, though it is still far too soon to draw any firm conclusions.

The competition between strike systems and air defense/interceptor systems continues to evolve on both sides. In response to Russia’s growing use of jet-powered Geran-4 loitering munitions and Geran-5/Banderol cruise missiles, Ukraine has begun developing jet-powered interceptor drones. The aim is to address a class of faster aerial threats that can be difficult for conventional propeller-driven interceptors to engage. Ukraine has also used Bars jet-powered drones in at least one strike campaign against Moscow. Their numbers are still believed to be limited, with propeller-driven drones making up the majority of Ukraine’s long-range strike fleet. This highlights a broader issue for Russia: the need to develop and deploy compact interceptor drones before faster targets become more widespread. The challenge is not simply intercepting them, but doing so economically. Traditional air-defense systems and MANPADS can engage such targets, but using them against relatively inexpensive strike drones can be difficult to justify economically. One potentially relevant example comes from Iran. Several years ago, Iran developed and deployed the 358 missile, a specialized system intended to engage UAVs. It is a subsonic weapon with a reported speed of around 700 km/h, an infrared seeker, and a turbojet engine, with a claimed engagement range of up to 100 km. Its design reflects a different approach to countering relatively slow aerial targets, without relying on the speed and cost associated with conventional high-performance surface-to-air missiles. The missile has demonstrated its effectiveness, having shot down a number of U.S. and Israeli UAVs. This is not necessarily an argument for simply copying the 358. The more important point is anticipating what types of drones may be heading toward Russian cities in the future and developing an interceptor that is capable of engaging them while remaining cheaper than the strike systems it is designed to counter.

Footage from another angle shows two ballistic missiles impacting Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. The second impact caused a much larger explosion, suggesting it may have hit an important target.

Clashes erupted in the Yemeni city of Dhale between forces affiliated with the Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) and forces affiliated with the dissolved UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), including the Security Belt Forces and Storm Brigades, following a visit by PLC Defense Minister Taher al-Aqili. STC-affiliated forces blocked all roads into and out of the city, trapping and besieging al-Aqili and his forces inside the al-Aboud Military Camp.

Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) Mi-28N/NM and Ka-52/M attack helicopters are increasingly being used to intercept FP-1 and MICH-2000 drones, effectively serving as specialized drone hunters in rear areas alongside Tor-M2 and Pantsir-S1M air defense systems. The Mi-28 uses its 30mm Shipunov 2A42 cannon for close-range engagements, supported by the OPS-28M multispectral electro-optical system and N025 mast-mounted radar, which can detect low-RCS targets at ranges of up to 5 km. Its automated fire-control system calculates lead angles to improve hit probability and reduce ammunition expenditure. The Ka-52M has an advantage in poor weather, with its advanced Rezets active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar providing better resolution for detecting small drones against ground clutter than the Mi-28's N025 radar. For longer-range engagements, both platforms can employ 9M342 Igla-S missiles and 9A1472 Vikhr-1 laser-beam-riding missiles, allowing them to engage targets beyond the effective range of the cannon.

In the United States, Anduril’s Altius-700 loitering munition has undergone testing, with the system launched from a canister carried aboard an H-60 Black Hawk helicopter. According to the company, the Altius-700 can remain airborne for 4–5 hours after launch, operate autonomously, and transmit targeting information to support strikes. The loitering munition will be equipped with a warhead comparable to that of the AGM-114 Hellfire missile. The reconnaissance variant is also intended to be reusable. Anduril is also developing the smaller Altius 600M, a lighter variant that can be launched from a transport-launch canister mounted on a vehicle or directly from the ground by an operator.
