As Iranian Shahed drones strike targets across the Middle East, Ukrainians are watching closely — and seeing a familiar threat, CBS News' Aidan Stretch reports from Kyiv. The same drone technology has been used repeatedly in Russia’s war on Ukraine, including attacks in the heart of Kyiv. After years of defending against them, Ukraine has developed some of the world’s most advanced counter-drone tactics, from low-cost interceptors to layered air defense systems. President Volodymyr Zelensky and defense experts say that experience is now critical as more countries confront Iranian-style drone warfare for the first time.

🚨🇷🇺 WEST'S WORST NIGHTMARE: Russia Building the War Machine of Tomorrow After four years of fighting in Ukraine, Russia has created a smart, practical way to build new weapons and systems. They focus on what actually works on the battlefield, not fancy stuff. 🔸 Russia plans to train 1 million specialists in drones and unmanned systems by 2030. 🔸 They’re boosting AI experts by more than 400% every year. 🔸 Russian V2U drones can now fly, find targets, and attack completely on their own — even when signals are jammed. 🔸 Russia made over 30 major upgrades to Iranian Shahed drones in under 3 years, developing an entire line of Geran drones. 🔸 New Glaz/Groza software lets them spot a target and hit it with artillery in just minutes instead of hours. 🔸Russia is empowering students, volunteers, and even “garage” inventors. Their own Defense Minister proudly supports this decentralized energy. The scary part? These same Russian-backed drone tactics are already hitting American bases in the Middle East, not just in Ukraine. Do you think the West is capable of keeping up with Russia's pace of innovation?

Iran may attack U.S. forces with $400 cost interceptor drones — like rus-sian «Molniya». Its significantly cheaper than the Shahed drone and has a range of up to 60 km, when the width of the Strait of Hormuz is 40–50 km. While the missiles for Patriot systems — likely to be often used by the U.S. to intercept these threats — cost about $4M. How do you like that cost ratio?😉 In this video, we’ll discuss how 7 Corps experience can help in countering Iran. And about the capability to mass-produce low-cost interceptor drones (with Генерал Черешня 🍒). Watch the video, like and share this post!👍

Our team is now on its way to the Gulf region, where they can help protect lives and stabilize the situation. We see the challenges that exist now: the Iranian regime has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz – one of the main routes for supplying oil and gas to the global market. This is a major source of instability. No one in the world can yet say how long all of this will last, but it is important that the protection of life starts working effectively as soon as possible. Stability is important for us as well. Those now seeking Ukraine’s help must continue to assist our own defense – first and foremost, our air defense. Last year we already proposed a drone agreement to the United States. This is the right way forward: to partner with us in the production and use of drones, and everyone now sees that there is no alternative to this approach. Ukraine has the greatest experience in the world in countering attack drones, and without our experience it will be very difficult for the Gulf region, the entire Middle East, and partners in Europe and America to build strong protection.

BREAKING: First video has emerged showing what appears to be a mass launch of Hadid-110 one-way attack drones by the Iranian Army Ground Force targeting U.S. Army positions in Kuwait. This comes as a claimed retaliation for recent U.S. strikes on Iran’s industrial and petrochemical infrastructure using PrSM missiles, which reportedly caused civilian casualties in Lamard. The Hadid-110 is a jet-powered, high-speed loitering munition designed for strike missions against sensitive targets, with significantly reduced interception time compared to slower drones. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. STRIKES IRAN’S DRONE CARRIER IN MAJOR NAVAL BLOW In a dramatic escalation of the war, U.S. Central Command has released infrared footage showing precision strikes on IRIS Shahid Bagheri, Iran’s flagship drone carrier. The vessel — a converted container ship designed to launch swarms of attack drones — was set ablaze during the strike, according to CENTCOM commanders. The Shahid Bagheri, commissioned in 2025, features a roughly 180-meter flight deck for UAV operations and was intended to extend Iran’s drone warfare capability far beyond its coastline. U.S. officials say the attack is part of the broader campaign targeting Iran’s naval forces and missile infrastructure under Operation Epic Fury. CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper said the ship — roughly the size of a World War II–era aircraft carrier — was struck and “is now on fire.” The strike marks one of the largest blows yet to Iran’s maritime capabilities, as U.S. forces continue operations aimed at dismantling Tehran’s naval and drone warfare capacity.

🇺🇸 At the Fort Hood training ground in Texas, the US Army is conducting one of the first live-fire tests of the latest Sgt Stout short-range air defense systems, built on the basis of the Stryker A1 combat vehicles already in service with the US Army. The complex, developed under the M-SHORAD program, is equipped with a 30mm XM914 cannon with programmable ammunition and a dual launcher for Stinger MANPADS, thereby providing protection against a wide range of targets at its effective range. Additionally, it features thermal imaging and electro-optical sensors, a radar from L3Harris, and a fire control system from the Italian Leonardo DRS, allowing the vehicle to independently detect, track, and engage targets without external targeting, relying solely on its own sensors. The exercises themselves include day and night firing drills simulating attacks by drones, helicopters, and low-flying munitions such as glide bombs, as well as cruise missiles. According to requirements, the vehicle must be capable of operating on the move and provide all-around defense for troops, and its modular design allows for the future installation of additional laser and electronic warfare systems against UAVs. With serial production starting in 2026, the "Sgt Stout" will become the backbone of mobile air defense for the US Army and National Guard, replacing the rapidly aging Avenger systems and forming an updated line of defense against short-range threats.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 US TREMBLES: This Iranian Missile Can Wipe Out Any American Base in the Middle East Iran unveiled the Fattah missile in June 2023 as a new addition to its solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile arsenal. It has a range of approximately 1,400 km, placing Israel, US bases in the Persian Gulf, and much of the Middle East within reach from Iranian territory. 🔸 Fattah uses solid propellant, allowing it to remain fueled and launch-ready for extended periods. This eliminates the lengthy fueling process required by older liquid-fuel missiles and improves survivability by enabling mobile deployment on transporter-erector-launchers. 🔸 The missile features a maneuverable reentry vehicle mounted on a conical warhead section with small control surfaces. This allows trajectory adjustments during the terminal phase of flight. Unlike traditional ballistic warheads that follow a predictable descent path, maneuvering reentry vehicles can alter direction, reducing interception probability and shortening reaction time for missile defense systems. 🔸 Fattah uses composite materials to reduce structural weight while maintaining strength. This improves range efficiency and allows the missile to carry a warhead estimated at around 450–500 kg. 🔸 The system is part of a broader modernization effort that includes missiles such as Haj Qasem and Kheibar Shekan, all built around solid fuel, mobile launch capability, and maneuverable warheads. These systems are designed for rapid deployment, reduced launch preparation time, and greater operational flexibility. Fattah shows Iran’s continued focus on survivable medium-range strike systems capable of operating from mobile platforms and reaching targets across the region. Trump has been shipping massive amounts of military cargo to the Middle East lately ahead of a possible strike on Iran. Did he manage to send enough body bags for American cannon fodder in case of an Iranian Fatah retaliatory strike?

❗️❗️The United States is opening a massive secondary front in the Persian Gulf unleashing devastating precision firepower from the ground, the U.S. Army is actively firing long-range MGM-140 ATACMS ballistic missiles from M142 HIMARS launchers stationed in Kuwait to pulverize strategic targets deep inside Iran. Utilizing the highly mobile and combat-proven HIMARS platforms, American artillery units are launching high-velocity tactical missiles capable of striking targets over 300 kilometers away. This strategic positioning in Kuwait allows the U.S. military to strike critical Iranian military installations, coastal defense networks, and IRGC command hubs with pinpoint accuracy from across the Gulf waters. This rapid expansion of ground-based missile strikes represents a catastrophic escalation for Tehran, leaving their air defense networks completely overwhelmed by a multi-directional onslaught. By combining the unstoppable kinetic speed of ATACMS with the ongoing devastating aerial bombardments by the U.S. Air Force, Washington is systematically dismantling Iran's military infrastructure. The message to the Islamic Republic is deafening and absolute: there is nowhere left to hide, and the full weight of America's precision arsenal will continue to rain down until the regime's capacity to threaten regional stability is entirely wiped out.

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN'S DRONES ARE THE WEST'S WORST NIGHTMARE: Hadid 110 vs Shahed 136 Iran's drone technology has evolved significantly, with its first combat use of the new Hadid 110 last month—a high-speed, stealth drone that enhances Iran's offensive capabilities. While the Shahed 136 was revolutionary for its low-cost, mass-saturation approach, the Hadid 110 marks a shift towards more advanced, precise, and faster loitering munitions. 🔸 Hadid 110’s turbojet engine hits speeds of 510 km/h, far outpacing the Shahed 136’s 185 km/h. This speed gives it a clear advantage against traditional missile defense systems. 🔸 Shahed 136 pioneered cost-efficient swarm tactics, flooding defenses with overwhelming numbers — but the Hadid 110 now breaks through with stealth features and precision strikes, proving speed and survival matter more than sheer volume. 🔸 Iran’s Hadid 110 has cutting-edge radar evasion, designed to penetrate advanced defense systems, making it a lethal high-speed missile that even Israel and the US struggle to intercept. 🔸 While Shaheds still play a crucial role in mass attacks, the Hadid 110 takes on high-value, heavily-defended targets, like radar stations and military infrastructure, with its 30 kg payload and 350 km range — a far cry from its predecessor’s capabilities. US and Israel’s reliance on outdated interception methods is increasingly obsolete as Iran adapts its drones to counter these systems. How can the West win if Iran’s drones evolve faster than their defenses?

I've been reliably told for over a year now that there is no war between the United States and Iran which makes these statements and videos very strange. Plan accordingly... "At 10:30 p.m. ET on July 22, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed another round of strikes against Iran for the 12th consecutive night. U.S. forces struck Iranian military targets including maritime capabilities, missile and drone storage facilities, coastal surveillance sites, and air defense assets. The strikes further degrade Iran's ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels. This month, American forces have targeted dozens of Iranian military sites on land while resuming a blockade against Iran at sea. As of today, CENTCOM has redirected nine commercial vessels and disabled one to prevent ships from entering or departing Iranian ports. More than 50,000 U.S. service members are operating across the Middle East and remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready." -CENTCOM #war #iran #israel #centcom #drones #thermal

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. MAY DEPLOY THIRD AIRCRAFT CARRIER AS IRAN WAR ESCALATES Reports indicate the United States is preparing to deploy a third aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East, dramatically increasing American naval firepower in the region. The USS George H.W. Bush carrier strike group has reportedly completed pre-deployment training and could soon head toward the eastern Mediterranean, joining the USS Gerald R. Ford and USS Abraham Lincoln already operating near Iran. If confirmed, this would place three U.S. carrier strike groups within striking distance of Iran, one of the largest American naval concentrations in the region in decades. Carrier strike groups bring enormous offensive power, including: • dozens of fighter jets • cruise-missile destroyers and cruisers • nuclear-powered submarines • advanced missile defense systems The deployment signals that Washington is preparing for a potentially longer and more intense phase of the conflict as strikes against Iranian military infrastructure continue. Analysts warn that such a buildup is typically used to maintain continuous air operations and deter further escalation across the region. The war is rapidly becoming one of the largest U.S. military deployments in the Middle East in a generation.

‼️‼️🇺🇲 BIG | The USA for the first time shot down a fiber-optic drone The American company Epirus reported a significant breakthrough in the field of countering drones. Its microwave system "Leonidas" for the first time hit a drone with fiber-optic control - one of the most difficult targets for modern electronic warfare means. Previously, the complex had already hit a swarm of 49 drones, but the new test was particularly significant. In December 2025, at a closed test range of the US Army, the system was able to disable a fiber-optic UAV, depriving it of control and causing an uncontrolled fall. Fiber-optic drones, which are widely used today, including in the Ukrainian theater of operations, do not use radio control channels. The signal is transmitted via a thin fiber-optic cable, which makes such drones extremely difficult to detect and suppress. In a report by the US Army in 2024, such drones were called "one of the main threats to air defense systems and anti-drone warfare". The CEO of Epirus noted that the mass spread of fiber-optic UAVs has become a turning point in the evolution of unmanned warfare and has revealed a serious gap in anti-drone defense systems - a gap that "Leonidas" is designed to close. In 2025, Epirus received a contract for $43.5 million for the supply of two second-generation "Leonidas" systems. Its range of destruction is more than twice that of the first version; a 30% increase in power; there are built-in high-energy batteries; a reduction in dependence on external power supply. The system can be installed on: Stryker 8×8 armored vehicles, light tactical vehicles, other mobile platforms. See the latest updates with us: Visioner

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. STRATEGIC BOMBERS ARRIVE IN BRITAIN: TRUMP: IRAN TO FACE THE BIG ONE. Three U.S. Air Force B-1 Lancer bombers have landed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, placing powerful American strike aircraft on British soil as the Iran war escalates. The 146-foot aircraft are capable of flying over 900 mph and can carry up to 24 cruise missiles or dozens of precision bombs, giving the U.S. the ability to launch long-range strikes deep into the Middle East. Each bomber is worth roughly $317 million, meaning more than $1 billion in strategic airpower has arrived at the base within hours. RAF Fairford has long served as a key U.S. bomber hub for operations in the Middle East, and its activation signals a major expansion of American strike capability. President Trump has warned that Iran could soon face “the big one.” With strategic bombers now positioned in the UK, the next phase of the conflict may be approaching fast.

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. STRATEGIC BOMBERS ARRIVE IN BRITAIN: TRUMP: IRAN TO FACE THE BIG ONE. Three U.S. Air Force B-1 Lancer bombers have landed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, placing powerful American strike aircraft on British soil as the Iran war escalates.

A high-priority meeting on advancing short-range counter-drone air defense. We are significantly strengthening this component within the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We approved the structure of a new command that will oversee this particular area of air defense, along with new management approaches. I also set key tasks for the Air Force team and the Ministry of Defense. First, protection against Russian drones must be reinforced in our cities, such as Kherson and Nikopol, as well as in the border communities of the Sumy region, where the Russians have essentially set up an ongoing “safari” against civilians. Every day, they strike residential buildings, ordinary infrastructure, and civilian transport. We need stronger protection and stronger action in response. The second task is scaling up our counteraction against “shaheds” and other Russian attack drones. There will be more lines of defense and protection. Third, we need to expand the experience of successful units across the Defense Forces of Ukraine, so that every solution that has proven effective for one unit can be successfully applied by other Ukrainian units. Glory to Ukraine!

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN’S DRONE HUNTERS: A NIGHTMARE FOR U.S. AND ISRAELI UAVs Even under constant U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, Iran still intercepts enemy drones. The reason lies in a set of mobile, radar-silent air defense systems that are far harder to detect and destroy: 🔸 Missile 358 – a loitering anti-drone interceptor operating in autonomous “free hunt” mode. Flying at ~0.6 Mach with up to 100 km range and 8.5 km interception altitude, it can patrol airspace and engage targets like MQ-9 Reaper or Hermes-900 UAVs. Radio correction can improve accuracy but risks exposing the control node to enemy electronic surveillance. 🔸 AD-08 Majid – a mobile short-range air defense system using optical and thermal sensors instead of radar. Its IR-guided missiles reach ~2 Mach, with 8 km range and 6 km altitude, making the system difficult to detect for aircraft relying on radar warning receivers. 🔸 Repurposed R-73 / R-27T missiles – infrared air-to-air missiles adapted for ground launch from mobile platforms equipped with thermal sights. Similar improvised systems have previously downed UAVs and even aircraft — including a Saudi F-15S shot down by the Houthis in 2018. Unlike radar-based systems that can be quickly targeted by anti-radiation missiles, these mobile defenses are harder to detect and eliminate, allowing Iran to keep enemy UAV operations under constant pressure. Do you think radar-silent air defenses could really help Iran counter Western drones and aircraft?

Breaking: The video released by CENTCOM showing last night’s U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force airstrikes on Iran indicates that the U.S. military is seriously struggling to find and destroy meaningful military targets inside the country. The only visible military equipment destroyed at the beginning of the video appears to be a cruise missile launcher. Beyond that, they seem to have targeted empty racks used for one-way attack drones, empty drone-launcher racks, and even a bunch of empty crates that the Iranian Air Force had placed on the runways of its 10th Tactical Fighter Base in Chabahar to block them and prevent their use by U.S. forces. This explains why the Americans, and also the Israelis, are now increasingly going after Iran’s civilian infrastructure: there is not much left for them to target militarily. This is not a victory. It is a waste of expensive weapons and munitions by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force, ordered by the Trump administration. President Trump appears to be trying to save face and avoid losing the midterms by wasting U.S. military munitions. #OperationEpicFury

What is happening around Iran right now? The conflict is expanding. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, and Iraq are nearby. Central Asia is also nearby, facing a whole range of threats and challenges. Some recent events: ◾️ UK's Defence Ministry confirmed that a drone similar to the Shahed, which targeted a British base in Cyprus, was not launched from Iran. The question remains: where was it launched from? ◾️ Iranian drones attacked Azerbaijan. ◾️ Earlier, the American USS Oscar Austin destroyer shot down an Iranian missile over Turkish territory. This happened virtually on the Mediterranean coast. This created a dilemma: did Iran attack Türkiye or the Americans? Was it an attack on a NATO country or on a US base? Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said that the incident with the Iranian missile in Türkiye should not be considered in the context of the triggering of Article 5. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte also said that NATO would not invoke Article 5 and go to war with Iran over yesterday's attack on Türkiye. Changes in the global security architecture and world trade continue. Russia is increasingly losing influence in Central Asia. China's influence in the region is growing, and there is a need to create autonomous regional alliances.
