This is meaningless with the introduction of lasers and countermeasures that prevent non fiber connected drops to operate. Plus this requires air dominance to use. Might work in Iran or Africa

#NEW Footage from this morning’s strikes on Russia reportedly shows a previously unseen long-range UAV, believed to be the Ukrainian “Bravo” jet-powered drone. According to reported specifications, the Bravo is said to have a range of up to 2,000 km, a payload of 100–200 kg, and a cruising speed of approximately 650–700 km/h. The unit cost and current production rate of the platform remain unknown.

Chinese Swarm Drone Systems: 48 and 96 Drones Some time ago, I wrote about the evolution of autonomous systems and how only the Chinese were truly making progress in this field. After starting serial production of the Swarm-2, which features 48 drones and real-time tracking, they are now testing a version with 96 drones. These are divided into three categories: reconnaissance, jamming, and attack. Each drone can carry a variety of payloads, including electro-optical reconnaissance, strike munitions, and relay communications. They can be flexibly combined into different operational groupings, forming multifunctional swarms capable of complex missions. These drones have an individual range of 15 to 50 km, but the manufacturer claims that by maintaining a swarm network communication, this range is significantly extended. This strongly reinforces what we discussed a while back: that future wars will be dominated by drone systems that will severely delay any ground troop advancement, as already evidenced by the conflict in Ukraine.

🇷🇺 Russian forces have introduced a new guided kamikaze drone, Geran-5, with speeds reportedly three times higher than the Shahed, and structurally closer to a small cruise missile. 🔹 Cruise speed ranges between 450–600 km/h, with a maximum of up to 650 km/h, making interception by air defense and mobile anti-air units more difficult. 🔺 Range: up to 950–1000 km. 🔺 Warhead: approximately 90 kg. 🔹 Footage reportedly shows a strike on energy infrastructure in the Sumy region carried out using this jet-powered drone. See the latest updates with us: NSTRIKE

You have to see this! South Korea shows how to defend against a drone swarm During drills on the country's west coast, 50 drones simulated a low-altitude swarm attack. Eight Vulcan air defense guns shot down 44 drones with concentrated barrage fire. The remaining six were taken out using a portable laser system and shotguns. It's how South Korea is preparing for one of modern warfare's biggest threats: coordinated drone swarm attacks.

🇹🇷 BREAKING: Turkey enters the Shahed-136 era of warfare. Turkish STM has tested a new long-range kamikaze UAV, built in the same class as the Shahed-136, capable of striking targets hundreds of kilometers away. First test footage is now out. Cheap, long range, and built for saturation warfare… this is where modern battlefields are headed.
