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 #Defenseshow more

U.S. company Powerus has unveiled the Matrix Fold, a... modular and foldable FPV drone reportedly selected for the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance program. The 12-inch platform is designed to fold into a compact form that can reportedly fit into a backpack and be deployed within seconds. Its 3D-printed construction is intended to allow individual components to be replaced in the field, with printing files reportedly supplied for manufacturing replacement parts. According to Powerus, the Matrix Fold has a maximum speed of 242 km/h, a payload capacity of up to 6.8 kg and an endurance of up to 35 minutes. The system features a modular architecture compatible with the company’s Matrix 5, 7, 10 and F platforms. Tool-free maintenance and rapid payload changes are also reportedly supported. Powerus states that the Matrix Fold is NDAA-compliant and Blue UAS certified, with its supply chain under company control. In May 2026, the Matrix Fold was reportedly selected for the second phase of the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance program, described as having a value of approximately $1 billion. The program is intended to support the procurement of tens of thousands of low-cost, expendable drones and expand U.S. domestic production capacity. Serial production is reportedly planned to follow the program’s next phase. #USA #Powerus #MatrixFold #FPV #FPVDrone #DroneDominance #Pentagon #UAV #DroneWarfare #3DPrinting #BlueUAS #NDAAshow more

Russian soldiers traveling on the new Omich-2 unmanned ground... vehicle (UGV) somewhere near the frontline in Ukraine.

WATCH: Footage appears to show an active protection system... against interceptor drones installed on the Russian “Knyaz Oleg Veshchi” reconnaissance UAV. There is currently no publicly available information on the exact countermeasure system. One possible interpretation is that it uses additional cameras and machine vision to detect approaching FPV interceptor drones. According to this interpretation, when an enemy drone approaches, the system could either alert the operator or automatically trigger the deployment of threads intended to entangle the interceptor’s propellers. Russia has previously demonstrated other countermeasures for UAVs, including systems intended to disrupt the video links of interceptor drones on Geran-2 strike UAVs, automatic evasive systems using onboard cameras on ZALA UAVs, and video-signal detection systems reportedly installed on the SKAT-350M. The exact functionality of the system seen on the “Knyaz Oleg Veshchi” remains unconfirmed. #Russia #UAV #DroneWarfare #CounterUAS #CounterDrone #FPV #InterceptorDrone #ElectronicWarfare #Reconnaissance #MilitaryTechnology #DefenseTechnology #UnmannedSystemsshow more

🇺🇸🚩The company Auterion demonstrated its FPV drone SLM-10 on... fiber optics. Auterion has long been openly testing software (SW) called AuterionOS at the "Ukraine" test site. The software is compatible with drones from different manufacturers and unites UAVs "into a single coordinated structure", allowing a single operator to control many drones simultaneously. Recently, this company demonstrated the strike of these same drones SLM-10 in "swarm mode" at a German test site on a model of a Russian tank. The head of Auterion Lorenz Meyer stated to British media that the company will supply Kyiv with 33,000 unmanned strike kits, operating on the basis of AI.

WHEN DRONES ALLEGEDLY SUPPLIED BY MATTHEW VAN DYKE MODULE... HIT THEIR MARK. NIA has listed these videos as proof to build case against suspected the "deep state" asset and his crew. The video shows how on Feb 20, an MNA ATR-72-600 preparing for a domestic flight from Myitkyina to Mandalay was hit by at least TWO RPG-EQUIPPED FPV KAMIKAZE DRONES supplied to local insurgent groups. Passengers were boarding when the attack took place at around 8:12 PM local time.show more

🇺🇦 The Ukrainian surface unmanned boat TRITON, capable of... carrying a variety of weapons, was presented in Paris The main equipment includes a system for remotely launching drones or air-to-air missiles. The platform can be equipped with a remotely controlled automatic turret with an ammunition load of 500 rounds and an optical module. In the kamikaze drone configuration, the TRITON is equipped with a 7.5 kg warhead. A built-in warhead initiation system is provided for the platform’s self-destruction. The TRITON represents another significant achievement of Ukraine’s domestic defense industry in the field of unmanned naval systems. Its versatility — combining reconnaissance, strike capabilities, and the option for kamikaze missions — makes it a highly effective tool for operations in the Black Sea. The ability to launch drones and air-to-air missiles from a surface platform adds a new layer to Ukraine’s asymmetric naval warfare tactics. Video is generated by grok AIshow more

Unique footage has emerged showing remote control of interceptor... drones. The 190th Training Center of the SBS reportedly used a drone-interceptor to shoot down a Shahed UAV remotely, with the pilot located at a significant distance from the launch site. The system used was LITAVR, developed by FDrones. According to the company, an operator can control the interceptor from hundreds of kilometers away from the launch point. The F7 LITAVR is already a well-known and highly effective system. As a reminder, here are the technical details (this is all open-source information): Development of the system began in autumn 2024. It was successfully tested and officially adopted in summer 2025. Serial production and deliveries to the military started in autumn 2025. Maximum speed: 350 km/h Flight time: up to 15 minutes Equipped with two cameras: daytime and thermal imaging The officially stated tactical range is 36 km, though in practice it can reach up to 60 km and operate at altitudes of up to 9.5 km. The warhead (separately codified) weighs 500 g. Detonation can occur via kinetic impact, self-destruction upon contact with the target, or manual activation by the operator. The system uses inertial guidance without GPS and features automatic terminal guidance (“last mile” / target lock system). At present, it reportedly destroys hundreds of targets per week, including Shaheds, Gerberas, Molniyas, Orlans, Lancets, and others. What is fundamentally new? Until now, mobile air defense fire groups and frontline crews using interceptor drones required a qualified pilot on-site. It has now been successfully demonstrated that a different tactic is possible: pilots can operate from protected, remote locations. The only requirement is internet access at both the control center and the launch site. Ukraine’s defense sector continues to develop innovative solutions. 📹 Oleksii Kopytko/Facebookshow more

China publicly demonstrated its truck-mounted electromagnetic aircraft launch system... (EMALS) for the first time, successfully launching a drone from a modular catapult built from multiple linked trucks. Three or more trucks connect to form a catapult that can be rapidly assembled and moved. The catapult is part of a broader family of containerized military systems—including missiles, radars, electronic warfare, and command centers—that can be deployed from ships or land. It is designed to launch drones where runways don’t exist, such as islands, remote areas, or civilian ships converted into drone carriers. Chinese sources reportedly aim to produce 2,000 containerized systems annually. Source: KAROTASU, TWZshow more

Americans are not ready to watch sons and daughters... hunted by FPV drones. Some may not like this post, and that’s OK. Some may see this as being a “panican,” and that is also OK. My tolerance for American blood being spilled is very, very low. But this needs to be said: If you have paid any attention to the war in Ukraine, you will know how drone warfare has escalated. You will have an understanding of the sophistication of the Ukrainians and Russians in their pursuit of hunting and killing each other with human-guided robots strapped with explosives. We know Russia and Iran share military ties; hell, the most common form of long-range standoff munition used to target Ukrainian infrastructure is an Iranian-designed Shahed drone. Now, are the Iranians as sophisticated as the Russians? No. But will a ground action result in grainy videos of Americans being hit by FPV drones? Almost certainly. Could the deployment of ground forces to the Gulf be a feint? Sure, it could be, but this point extends beyond Iran. The U.S. needs to be ready to counter the drone menace. I won’t pretend to know the inner machinations of the Joint Chiefs, the White House, or President Trump, but with the destruction of an E-3 Sentry on the runway, it has become absolutely clear the U.S. armed forces have not scaled their ability to handle drones. I don’t know what the answer here is, but I haven’t seen this point brought up at the frequency it deserves. It needs to be said. We are not ready for footage of American soldiers and Marines cowering in their last moments, set to some upbeat pop song or some cleric screaming praises to Allah.show more

Robots that act like slime! 🫟 Cornell University engineers... developed a robotic collective that behaves less like a machine and more like a material that flows, reshapes, and adapts without centralized control. It consists of dozens of small robots with limited individual mobility that exhibit coordinated motion when entangled. The system resembles soft matter, continuously deforming and reorganizing as it moves, driven by mechanical intelligence. Each robotic module measures 200mm long and 20mm wide, containing a small motor that oscillates between "I" and "U" shapes. These oscillations generate forces against the ground, allowing modules to inch forward and jostle together. On their own, modules move slowly and inefficiently. When they entangle into chains, they self-organize into shifting configurations that prove resilient in challenging environments. On incline surfaces, chains moved more reliably than individuals. In obstacle fields, the collective behaved like a flowing material, connections formed to maintain cohesion, then broke apart to prevent jamming. The system stays functional even when modules fail. Isolated modules emit an audible distress signal, prompting nearby modules to slow down so the straggler can reconnect. No centralized sensing or control, each module infers when it has lost contact by how much it's being jostled.

China has flight-tested a 60-kilowatt hybrid propulsion system designed... for small battlefield drones. The system lets drones generate electricity from fuel in flight, then switch to silent electric mode when the mission demands it. The result: longer range, lower noise, and a reduced heat signature. That dual-mode capability matters most precisely where stealth and endurance have to be traded against each other. It fits a larger pattern. China has simultaneously tested 3D-printed jet engines for low-cost disposable drones, deployed AI-driven swarm systems, and integrated long-range maritime strike missiles with drone-based targeting. Converted J-6 jets are now stationed near the Taiwan Strait. China is not building a drone force. It is building a fully integrated unmanned combat ecosystem, from cheap expendables by the thousands to stealth platforms capable of guiding anti-ship ballistic missiles deep into the western Pacific. The hybrid engine is not a curiosity. It is the logic behind everything else. Gandalv / Gandalvshow more

Many people online speculate that the drones spotted in... New Jersey might be the PteroDynamics Transwing X-P4. This drone transitions between two configurations: a quadcopter mode (7 feet by 4 feet) for vertical takeoff and landing and a fixed-wing airplane mode (7 feet by 13 feet) for efficient flight. PteroDynamics has contracts with the U.S. Navy, which tests drones at the Naval Air Station at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey. The company has also carried out test flights from the flight deck of the USNS Burlington, which is currently stationed in New Jersey. This capability might explain the drone sightings reported from the sea. These sightings are likely tied to classified U.S. Navy drone testing, which explains the federal government’s silence on the matter. If these drones are not the PteroDynamics X-P4, they are likely similar unmanned aerial systems being evaluated by the U.S. military. That's the most logical explanation for why the federal government is allowing these operations to happen. At this point, it appears to be as much an experiment in psychological operations as it is a test of drone technology.show more

❗️❗️🇺🇦 Ukrainian Madjar’s Birds brigade operators demonstrate B-2 medium-range... drone operations to NRK, targeting Russian logistics along southern corridors. 🇺🇦 The operators of the Ukrainian Unmanned Forces “Madjar’s Birds” brigade showed NRK the process of working with B-2 type medium-range drones 🇳🇴 The Norwegian TV company NRK was at the positions of the 6th Battalion of the “Madjar’s Birds” unmanned systems brigade at the moment of launching B-2 type drones. Before launch, technicians attach the warhead separately from below (approximately 8 kg of explosives). The launch is carried out from a catapult, and the work is carried out around the clock and not only at night, under the light of a red lantern, as it used to be. ▪️ The target is the enemy’s logistics along the main roads of the southern corridor, so that the Russian Federation cannot deliver drones, fuel, and ammunition. “We destroy the conditions by means of which they can get there,” — explains Robert Brovdi Madjar. 🦅 According to the Unmanned Systems Forces, strikes with medium-range drones are now carried out 28 times more often than a year ago. ▪️ Previous strikes disabled part of the Russian radar stations (RLS) and air defense (AD) means, which opened “corridors” for B-2 flights with less risk….

🇺🇦🇷🇺As Ukraine's asymmetric strike capabilities continue to force a... radical shift in maritime defense, naval assets anchored deep within rear infrastructure are adopting improvised structural modifications to mitigate the persistent threat of aerial and surface drone strikes. 🇷🇺 The Russians have begun installing anti-drone nets (cages) on the Black Sea Fleet submarines stationed in Novorossiysk 🛰️ Satellite imagery reveals that metal structures are being mounted on 3 Varshavyanka-class submarines. Another one is reportedly being prepared for similar "armoring." ▪️ The reason cited is the growing threat from Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles. They are attempting to provide additional protection for the submarines against expected attacks from the air and sea, even while they are docked in port. Video is generated by Grok AIshow more

The White House just put a 100% tariff on... foreign drones. The message: stop buying from China, start building at home. Powerus has been building at home the whole time, and its supply chain reflects it: a $30M strategic investment from $UMAC (as of this post, trading up 28%!), on top of an existing relationship supplying U.S.-made drone components. Kinetic counter-drone interceptors. Heavy-lift cargo drones. Tactical FPV platforms. Autonomous maritime systems. Manufactured out of Charlotte, North Carolina. The U.S. Air Force is already betting on it too: an IDIQ worth up to $90 million for the Guardian-2 interceptor. A defense prime followed with an order for 1,500 U.S.-made FPV aircraft. Powerus has proposed a merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings (Nasdaq: PUSA), targeted to close in Q4 2026 following SEC effectiveness of the Form S-4 on August 12th. The transaction remains subject to closing conditions, and there is no assurance it will be completed.
