Ukrainian-developed FPV drone simulator “Remote Reaper: FPV Drone” has officially left Early Access, with version 1.0 now available on Steam. Developed in collaboration with military pilots, the simulator focuses on combat FPV drone operations and introduces several features in its full release, including armored vehicles with modeled vulnerable zones, electronic warfare effects that can disrupt video feeds and control signals during the final stage of an attack, and a customizable drone editor. Version 1.0 also adds configurable weather conditions, custom mission editing, real-time flights with other pilots and a racing mode. Players can use FPV hardware or a gamepad with realistic flight physics, or opt for simplified controls using a keyboard and mouse. #RemoteReaper #FPV #FPVDrone #DroneSimulator

China has unveiled a mobile aerosol smoke-screen system designed to rapidly obscure large areas during military operations. The system was recently tested in a live-fire exercise by the PLA. According to Chinese sources, it can generate broad, multi-spectral smoke screens intended to interfere with multiple types of surveillance and strike systems simultaneously. The system is reportedly designed to degrade the effectiveness of UAVs, thermal imaging systems and precision-guided weapons by obscuring targets and disrupting observation. #China #PLA #Military #ElectronicWarfare #Drones #UAV #CounterUAS #Defense

Israeli company ThirdEye Systems has presented IronWeb, a protection system designed to defend armored vehicles against FPV drones, at the ADEX 2026 exhibition. The system has so far been demonstrated in stationary tests, while a demonstration of its operation on a moving vehicle has not been shown. ThirdEye Systems specializes in AI-based object recognition using thermal and visible-spectrum sensors. Its products include the MeduzaX passive optical drone-detection system, which provides 360-degree scanning and edge computing. The company says its systems are used by the Israeli Defense Forces and other customers for counter-UAS operations, border security, critical-infrastructure protection and search-and-rescue missions. #Israel #ThirdEyeSystems #IronWeb #MeduzaX #CounterUAS #DroneDefense #FPV #FPVDrone #ArmoredVehicles #AI #DroneWarfare #MilitaryTechnology #DefenseTechnology #DroneWars

China has reportedly demonstrated a remotely controlled variant of the Lynx CS/VP16B 6×6 light multi-purpose vehicle family at a test range. Several configurations have reportedly been demonstrated on the same chassis, including versions equipped with a remote weapon station and guided missiles, a 120 mm mortar, a 107 mm multiple rocket launcher, an ammunition and cargo module, a communications and reconnaissance configuration, and a conventional troop-transport variant. Some versions were reportedly shown during live-fire exercises. The concept is based on a common chassis that can be adapted for different missions rather than developing separate unmanned vehicles for each role. In its remotely operated configuration, the Lynx can reportedly function as a ground-based “combat mule” for ammunition resupply, weapon transport or forward deployment of fire-support systems without exposing a crew. With a reported weight of approximately 1.2 tonnes, the CS/VP16B can carry around 1.1 tonnes of payload, allowing relatively heavy systems such as a 120 mm mortar or 107 mm rocket launcher to be integrated. #China #Lynx #CSVP16B #UGV #UnmannedGroundVehicle #GroundRobot #MilitaryRobotics #RemoteControl #6x6 #Mortar #MLRS #CombatVehicle #DroneWarfare #MilitaryTechnology #DefenseTechnology

📸 Wing-over-copter design: This concept, known as a “carrier copter,” is reportedly being used more frequently by Ukrainian teams. By using the lift generated by the wing, it reportedly extends the range of standard FPV drones from around 10 km to approximately 30–50 km.

Ukrainian forces are using UGVs equipped with net launchers to counter FPV drones. The system is designed to detect and intercept approaching drones by firing a net. The exact system seen in the footage could not be identified. Ukraine has developed several UGV-based counter-FPV systems using net launchers, including systems associated with Ratel Robotics, SMART BIRDS’ VORON/Pavuk and RoverTech’s Tarantul. The footage was shared by the Russian channel russian_airborne.

A Russian manufacturer has presented a three-barrel launcher designed to protect vehicles and bunker entrances from pursuing UAVs. The system reportedly uses three projectiles and features a remote initiation control panel with separate indicators and switches for each barrel. A control cable ranging from 5 to 50 metres (16–164 feet), depending on configuration, allows the system to be operated from a distance. According to the manufacturer, the launcher can be mounted on vehicles and quickly reloaded. Its stated firing range is up to 25 metres (82 feet). The system weighs approximately 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs) and measures 370 × 90 × 100 mm. The manufacturer lists a 5 V power supply. #Russia #CounterUAS #CounterDrone #FPV #DroneWarfare #AntiDrone #UAV #MilitaryTechnology #DefenseTechnology

U.S. company Mara has presented its Spike counter-drone system, designed to defend against FPV drones. The system consists of two main components: the Spotter detection module, which uses visual and acoustic sensors to identify incoming drones, and the Seeker interceptor UAV. The Seeker reportedly has a maximum speed of up to 200 km/h (124 mph) and an operational range of approximately 1.5 km (0.9 miles). Mara estimates the complete Spike system will cost between $30,000 and $100,000, depending on the number of Seeker interceptors included. A single system can reportedly accommodate up to 48 interceptors. The company says the interceptor itself is intended to cost approximately the same as its target, or up to twice as much. A stationary version of Spike is planned for late 2026, while vehicle-mounted and portable versions using manual launch are expected in 2027. The system reportedly underwent testing in Ukraine in July 2026. #USA #Mara #Spike #CounterUAS #CounterDrone #FPV #Drones #DroneWarfare #Interceptor #MilitaryTechnology #Defense
