#WATCH | Delhi: On the preparedness of Indian defence forces to thwart drone attacks, DG Army Air Defence Lt Gen Sumer Ivan D’Cunha says, "...The Russia-Ukraine clash and even to some extent the Israeli current conflict, taught us about the huge capability that drones have. We realised that Pakistan, by its backend support from Turkey and maybe a northern adversary as well, had a plethora of drones. We also knew that in order to take on an effective air defence integrated system that we have, they (Pakistan) would have to saturate us. So, if you see his concept of employment, they (Pakistan) would first send in low-altitude, cheaper drones in large numbers to saturate your radars, and they would also force you to open up your radars...We anticipated this, and about maybe on the 26th, 27th and 28th, we did a simulation exercise at the behest of our army chief in the border areas, where we simulated drone attacks on the weapon system..."

‼️‼️🇺🇲 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

🚨 How Russian Mi-28 Helicopters Can Help Iran Hunt Down Israeli Drones Russian Mi-28 “Havoc” attack helicopters reportedly have entered service with Iran, strengthening its ability to counter Israeli loitering munitions and one-way attack drones. A key feature of the Iranian variant is the N025M mast-mounted radar, a capability previously limited to Russian service. This radar significantly improves the helicopter’s ability to detect small, low-observable aerial targets flying at low altitude or using terrain masking. The Mi-28 combines this radar with a high-speed interception capability, allowing it to reposition rapidly and engage incoming drones once cued by ground-based sensors or visual observers. This creates an active interception layer capable of responding dynamically to incoming threats rather than relying solely on static air-defence systems. The helicopter’s 30 mm cannon provides a cost-effective interception tool, particularly against individual drones. In saturation scenarios involving multiple targets, the platform can escalate to guided missile engagements. This layered response improves Iran’s ability to handle both limited and large-scale drone incursions. The Iranian Mi-28 variant is also equipped with the President-S self-protection suite, enhancing survivability against infrared-guided missiles and allowing safer operation in contested environments. Even a small number of Mi-28 helicopters, strategically positioned around Tehran, could establish a persistent aerial counter-drone presence, complicating Israeli drone attack planning and reducing the overall effectiveness of such operations. Their deployment is a part of Iran’s broader effort to strengthen its air-defence network by integrating mobile, radar-equipped interception platforms capable of responding quickly to emerging aerial threats. Do you still believe Israel could escalate against Iran without paying a meaningful military price?

#BREAKING 🇮🇳 🇮🇱 🇦🇫 Indian-Operated Israeli Heron Drone Goes Down Inside Afghanistan, Questions Mount A drone crashed on the outskirts of Maidan Shahr, the provincial capital of Maidan Wardak province in Afghanistan. Visual evidence from the site suggests the unmanned aerial vehicle closely matches the Israeli-manufactured Heron UAV The drone crashed nearly 200 kilometers deep inside Afghanistan, in a highly sensitive area. This raises a critical question: who was operating it? In the region, India is the only country which operate these drones, leading to serious concerns about whether Afghan sovereignty has effectively been ceded to India and Indian drones are operating from Afghan territory. Several questions have also emerged in light of recent drone attacks launched from Afghanistan into Tajikistan, further intensifying regional security concerns. Defense analysts have additionally highlighted another destabilizing development in the region: foreign-backed protests currently underway in Iran, with Indian and Afghan social media networks actively participating in campaigns against Tehran. This has led to growing speculation over a possible connection between these developments. Analysts are now questioning whether the presence of Indian-operated Israeli Heron drones in Afghanistan has any linkage to the evolving situation in Iran and the broader regional destabilization strategy. The Heron UAV, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, features advanced electro-optical sensors, long endurance exceeding 40 hours, and capabilities for high-altitude operations. India remains the primary operator of this model in South Asia, having integrated multiple Heron variants into its armed forces since the early 2000s. Reports indicate India has expanded its fleet, including the Heron Mk-II, for border surveillance along contested frontiers. Such drones provide real-time intelligence, making them valuable assets in monitoring vast terrains amid complex geopolitical environments.

INDIAN ARMY CHIEF GENERAL UPENDRA DWIVEDI’S PRACHAND SORTIE UNDERSCORES INDIAN ARMY’S EVOLVING COMBAT ROLE In a strong endorsement of indigenous capability and operational readiness, General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), visited Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Bengaluru, to review indigenous aerospace capabilities and ongoing Army Aviation projects. The visit showcased key platforms such as the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Dhruv and the Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) Prachand, along with the upgrade, maintenance and production ecosystems supporting Army Aviation, highlighting India’s growing strength in this critical domain. During the visit, the COAS undertook a sortie in the LCH Prachand, gaining first-hand experience of its superior performance and combat capabilities. The sortie served as a clear affirmation of the platform’s operational effectiveness and its critical role in delivering decisive aerial firepower in the tactical battlefield, while also reinforcing the Indian Army’s continued push towards Aatmanirbharta in defence. The contemporary battlespace is increasingly dominated by drones, loitering munitions, unmanned aerial systems and counter-drone systems, extending the battlespace beyond the ground into the low-altitude airspace above key battle areas. This has brought the Air Littoral into sharp operational focus. Recent conflicts have underscored that dominance in this zone directly influences the tempo, survivability and outcomes of land battles, necessitating rapid, localised control and response by ground forces. It is in this context that Prachand assumes significance. Agile, precise and optimised to operate in all types of terrains, Prachand provides the Indian Army with a dedicated platform to play a decisive role in the increasingly contested lower airspace. India’s first indigenously designed attack helicopter, it has been specifically built for high-altitude warfare and can operate effectively in rarefied conditions exceeding 6,000 metres. Its advanced avionics, precision weapons and survivability features make it ideally suited for roles such as close air support, anti-armour missions and armed reconnaissance. The Chief’s sortie thus reflects a broader transformation - where indigenous capability, leadership intent and evolving doctrine converge to position the Indian Army as a key force in shaping outcomes in the air littoral battlespace.

After the inauguration the PM visited the product gallery wherein SDAL showcased its products like Pinaka Rocket System, Air-bombs, Mines, Grenade, Military Explosives, ATGM, Nagastra 1 & 2 Loiter Munitions, and many more. Thereafter, the PM was then escorted by the Chairman to the newly constructed Air strip where he was received by Mr. Manish Nuwal, MD & CEO, SDAL. He then proceeded to unveil the Plaque to mark the Inauguration of the new 1.27 km Runway Facility for Development & Testing of MALE/HALE Class Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Solar has taken a big initiative for developing a MALE UAV and a suo-moto proposal has already been submitted to IAF which is under consideration. The Prime Minister also witnessed the display of the state of art indigenously developed systems viz. Loiter Munition (Nagastra 3), Bhargavastra (Micro-Missile based Counter Drone System) and Bhaumastra (Mine Detection & Disposal System). Key highlights of displayed systems are as follows: - • Loitering Munitions: Many Indian industries and start-ups have entered drone related technologies and systems mostly focused on surveillance and logistics applications. Use of drones and UAVs for combat applications requires critical competency and infrastructure. Keeping in view the futuristic requirements of this emerging technology, SIDAL has taken the initiative to develop Nagastra series of Loiter Munitions of ranges from 15 km to more than 100 km and explosive payload carrying capability from 1 kg to 10 kg. Nagastra 3 is a Vehicle Launched Loiter Munition System of endurance 3 hours, range 100 km and can carry 8.5 kg warhead. It is being developed under Make 2 project from Arty of Indian Army. • Bhargavastra is an indigenously designed and developed Counter Drone System meant for quick interception of drones for an assured hard kill using tiny, guided missiles with swarm engagement capability. This solution offers mobile protection against drone attacks with near simultaneous engagement of multiple drones. With a long range of detection (upto 6 km) and long range of neutralization (upto 2.5 km), it ensures safety of vulnerable assets/battlefield formations. • SDAL has taken an initiative to address the global menace of land mines detection and disposal. As per some estimates there are more than 11 million buried mines world over which remain uncleared and are causing casualties or maiming of both soldiers and civilians in peace time. Bhaumastra, a drone-based system under development by SDAL, would be the first of its kind in any developed nation to provide a drone-based solution to this global problem. It was a proud and inspirational moment for all the 10,000 employees of Solar Group, Nagpur to be witness to this important milestone in the History of their Company where the Prime Minister was among their midst. An emotional send off was given to the Hon’ble PM by the 3 generations of the SDAL Group management viz.

After the inauguration the PM visited the product gallery wherein SDAL showcased its products like Pinaka Rocket System, Air-bombs, Mines, Grenade, Military Explosives, ATGM, Nagastra 1 & 2 Loiter Munitions, and many more. Thereafter, the PM was then escorted by the Chairman to the newly constructed Air strip where he was received by Mr. Manish Nuwal, MD & CEO, SDAL. He then proceeded to unveil the Plaque to mark the Inauguration of the new 1.27 km Runway Facility for Development & Testing of MALE/HALE Class Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Solar has taken a big initiative for developing a MALE UAV and a suo-moto proposal has already been submitted to IAF which is under consideration. The Prime Minister also witnessed the display of the state of art indigenously developed systems viz. Loiter Munition (Nagastra 3), Bhargavastra (Micro-Missile based Counter Drone System) and Bhaumastra (Mine Detection & Disposal System). Key highlights of displayed systems are as follows: - • Loitering Munitions: Many Indian industries and start-ups have entered drone related technologies and systems mostly focused on surveillance and logistics applications. Use of drones and UAVs for combat applications requires critical competency and infrastructure. Keeping in view the futuristic requirements of this emerging technology, SIDAL has taken the initiative to develop Nagastra series of Loiter Munitions of ranges from 15 km to more than 100 km and explosive payload carrying capability from 1 kg to 10 kg. Nagastra 3 is a Vehicle Launched Loiter Munition System of endurance 3 hours, range 100 km and can carry 8.5 kg warhead. It is being developed under Make 2 project from Arty of Indian Army. • Bhargavastra is an indigenously designed and developed Counter Drone System meant for quick interception of drones for an assured hard kill using tiny, guided missiles with swarm engagement capability. This solution offers mobile protection against drone attacks with near simultaneous engagement of multiple drones. With a long range of detection (upto 6 km) and long range of neutralization (upto 2.5 km), it ensures safety of vulnerable assets/battlefield formations. • SDAL has taken an initiative to address the global menace of land mines detection and disposal. As per some estimates there are more than 11 million buried mines world over which remain uncleared and are causing casualties or maiming of both soldiers and civilians in peace time. Bhaumastra, a drone-based system under development by SDAL, would be the first of its kind in any developed nation to provide a drone-based solution to this global problem. It was a proud and inspirational moment for all the 10,000 employees of Solar Group, Nagpur to be witness to this important milestone in the History of their Company where the Prime Minister was among their midst. An emotional send off was given to the Hon’ble PM by the 3 generations of the SDAL Group management viz. Shri Satyanarayan Nuwal, Chairman, Shri Manish Nuwal CEO and Managing Director and Mr Raghav Nuwal.

What people don't appreciate is that what's maintained the international system and the US position in that system are the middle powers as principal stakeholders, and that's because they perceive the current system as the best one for them. If their perception of America's role and its intentions changes, then the U.S. no longer has a great argument for why these middle powers should support them on different issues. America then becomes just another powerful state; the most powerful state, but one that is both pursuing interests and is using its power more coercively, which you've seen at least in the last month. And so very quickly, we will begin to generate antibodies in the system and coalitions against us on different issues. And we will quickly discover that the reason why the system has endured, why unipolarity has endured and why America's position has endured, is not because we have so many carrier strike groups; it's not because of military power. It's because most countries, although they publicly don't like to admit it, are stakeholders in the system and they see it as the best system for them compared to a bipolar or a multipolar world order. That's the reality. Usually when they say multi polar world order, what they mean is one that's more multilateral with greater room, greater opportunities for smaller states and middle powers. And that's fair. But what they don't mean is that they're all staying up at night and saying, you know, we wish that Saudi Arabia, Russia, maybe Iran and Turkey had a lot more power than they do right now. Because if you ask who would be the powers in the multipolar world system, it's usually not the countries that people want. And so, this kind of will be my closing argument that I think some folks in the U. S. are very short sighted and misunderstand the genuine sources of U. S. power and our position and what keeps it in the international order and what maintains it. And if you pull that thread, you will quickly start unraveling something and you will have an epiphany afterwards on what the order is really based on. — Michael Kofman

Last night, Washoe County Sheriff’s Office DFR (Drone as First Responder) pilots used RapidSOS live 911 monitoring to launch one of our unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as a drone, in response to a report of a suspicious person in the backyard of a residence in Sparks. The drone was airborne and on scene within three minutes of the call being broadcast to patrol deputies. Once overhead, DFR pilots began canvassing the area and relaying real-time information to responding deputies. Using thermal imaging in low-light conditions, the drone successfully located the suspect in the backyard of a nearby residence on Cromwell Place. Pilots continued to provide live updates on the suspect’s location and behavior, allowing deputies to safely detain the individual without incident. Further investigation revealed the suspect, identified as Ryan Davis, 38, had forcibly entered a residence and moved through multiple neighboring backyards prior to being located. Davis was arrested and transported to the Washoe County Detention Facility, where he was booked on a felony charge of home invasion and an additional charge of trespassing. This incident highlights the outstanding coordination between patrol deputies and our DFR pilots, demonstrating how advanced aerial technology is not used for routine surveillance or to monitor lawful activity. DFRs are deployed for specific, time-limited public safety purposes—their use allows deputies to gain real-time situational awareness before making contact, often reducing the need for force and lowering risk to both the public and responding officers. This technology helps deputies make informed decisions, slow situations down, and choose safer resolutions whenever possible. At its core, this program is about saving time, saving lives, and improving outcomes—for victims, for our community members, and for our deputies. By using technology responsibly and transparently, we can respond more effectively to emergencies. #WCSO #DFR #Pilots #DroneasFirstResponder #PublicSafety #CommunitySafety #ProudSheriff

⚡🇺🇸: M1 ABRAMS: WHY IT IS STILL CALLED THE “KING OF ALL TANKS” The M1 Abrams is not just a tank, it is a continuously evolving battlefield system that has defined modern armored warfare for decades. The latest variant, M1A2 SEPv3, represents one of the most advanced main battle tanks ever fielded. It combines a deadly 120mm smoothbore gun with upgraded digital fire control, improved armor protection, and advanced networking that connects it to the wider battlefield in real time. Its survival advantage is built on layered composite armor and upgraded defensive systems designed to counter modern anti tank missiles, loitering munitions, and top attack threats. Unlike many competitors, the Abrams prioritizes crew survivability with a heavily protected internal layout and ammunition storage design. Mobility is another key factor. Powered by a gas turbine engine, the Abrams delivers exceptional acceleration and battlefield responsiveness, allowing it to reposition faster than most heavy tanks despite its weight class. Against rivals like the T 90M, Type 99A, or Leopard 2A7, the Abrams stands out in three core areas: combat proven reliability, continuous upgrade cycles, and integrated digital warfare capability. It has also been tested in real combat across multiple wars, constantly refined based on battlefield experience rather than theory. The upcoming SEPv4 upgrade is expected to push it further with enhanced sensors, better target detection, and improved threat tracking systems, keeping it relevant in the era of drone saturated warfare. This is why the Abrams is still called the “King of Tanks” Not because it is the newest But because it never stopped evolving.

BREAKING: U.S. Confirms "We Have Directed Energy Weapons – And We're Scaling Them Up" United States has indeed publicly acknowledged possession and ongoing development of directed-energy (DE) weapons, primarily high-energy lasers (HEL) and high-power microwave systems. These are not secret programs; the Department of Defense (DoD), the military services (especially the Navy and Army), and Congress have openly discussed them for years through budgets, roadmaps, testimonies, and public reports. Possession and operational deployment — The U.S. military has fielded limited operational or prototype DE systems since the mid-2010s. Examples include: —The Navy's HELIOS (High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance), a 60 kW-class system installed on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, operational since around 2019–2021 for countering drones, small boats, and other threats. —The Army's DE M-SHORAD (Directed Energy Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense), a 50 kW laser on Stryker vehicles, with prototypes deployed overseas (OCONUS) as early as 2024 for counter-unmanned aerial systems (cUAS) and related threats. —Other systems like palletized high-energy lasers (e.g., P-HEL/LOCUST variants) and earlier demonstrators (e.g., on USS Ponce in 2014) confirm operational experience exists, though at modest scales (tens of kilowatts) and primarily for counter-drone/missil

Inaugurated the Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) Dial 112 at the TGICCC. This AI-based ERSS seamlessly connects the Police, Fire, Medical, HYDRAA, Municipal, Electricity, Highway authorities and disaster response agencies, enabling faster and better coordinated emergency response. Citizens no longer need to remember multiple helpline numbers. A call to 112 is analysed by the AI system, which transcribes the conversation, intelligently routes the call, prepares a gist, identifies the concerned department and the caller's location, enabling the human operator to quickly dispatch the right resources within minutes. Special desks have been established for senior citizens, women and children in distress and NRIs seeking assistance for their families and friends in Telangana. The system also features advanced dashboards, data analytics, and the capacity to handle over 900 calls concurrently. For the first time in the country, we have introduced drones as first responders to provide instant aerial assessment during major emergencies, helping field teams respond more effectively. Having been associated with this project from its inception, it is professionally very satisfying to see it go live. When I was CP-Hyderabad, we allocated the budget to shift the Dial 100 Operations Centre from Kompally, which handled only Dial 100 and Dial 108 calls, to the TGICCC and integrate other emergency services, laying the foundation for what it has become today. We faced several operational and administrative challenges along the way and I have been following up throughout. Finally, we could launch it today through the collective efforts of many officers and other stakeholders. Drone based 112 services, along with drone-based traffic and crowd management, will be launched by Telangana Police in the near future. I urged all unit officers to closely monitor Dial 112 calls, as this is an important system for crime prevention and visible policing. #TelanganaPolice #Dial112
