China's Jiutian super-high altitude, long endurance drone. With an flight ceiling of 15km, this drone can fly ABOVE the operation ceiling of pretty much all air defense systems. Which means, once the PLA air force gains air superiority over an area, this drone will be able to drop precision... show more

15km.... That's 20km below the flight ceiling of an SM-6

Raja Raja Chozhan1 year ago

S400 height range is 40km. 😂😂😂

15km is not above all air defense system. What a stupid claim. It's only above MANPADS and SHORAD system

15 km is comercial airlines zone, even the older Soviet ADs can take it out

A flight ceiling of 15km /49,000 feet/ does =not= mean that the drone can fly above the operation ceiling of pretty much all air defense systems. Most fighter planes reach that height, and of course missiles go much higher.

Why make such blatant falsehoods?? MIM-23 Hawk: A medium-range SAM with a range of 28-31 miles (45-50 km) and a flight ceiling of 65,000 feet (20,000 m). Patriot: A long-range surface-to-air missile system with a range of up to 120 km (75 miles) for aerial targets and 60 km (37 miles) for ballistic missile targets. THAAD: A terminal high altitude area defense system with a range of 120 miles (200 km) and a flight ceiling of 93 miles (150 km).

China's Jiutian drone mothership. The modular payload allow it to perform a variety of tasks, from launching drone swarms to carrying electronic warfare pods to jam enemy signals. It can even be used in civilian operations such as fighting forest fire or serving as a communication relay during disasters.

A truly interesting recording: a Su-30SM launching an air-to-air missile against a Ukrainian drone. This footage is particularly noteworthy because Russia does not use its fighter jets for drone interception as intensely as Ukraine does. The missile was likely an R-73 infrared-guided air-to-air missile, which is renowned for its exceptional maneuverability.

🇷🇺 First confirmed destruction of an Israeli Drone Dome system in the SMO zone At 30 seconds into the video, the system is seen destroyed along with its command post, which was hiding in a garage. Irony of fate: the anti-drone system was taken out by a drone. The Israeli-made Drone Dome is a counter-drone system designed to detect, track, and neutralize UAVs using electronic warfare and laser interception. Developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, it’s a key part of Israel’s air defense capabilities. Despite Israel’s official stance of neutrality, Israeli military technology has found its way to Ukraine, likely via third-party deals. The Drone Dome’s presence suggests Kiev is seeking advanced anti-drone defenses against Russian UAVs, which have played a crucial role in the conflict. This marks a significant blow to Ukraine’s counter-drone efforts and raises questions about the silent transfer of Israeli defense tech to the battlefield.

The Pantsir-S1 was once considered one of the best short-range air-defense systems in the world. Now, watch one of these systems fail to shoot down an incoming Ukrainian one-way attack drone. This footage was recorded by the TV sensor mounted in the nose of what appears to be a Fire Point FP-1 one-way attack drone of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces shortly before it struck a Russian commercial ship in the Black Sea. A Pantsir-S1 can be seen attempting to intercept the incoming drone, firing three surface-to-air missiles at it. None of the three missiles hits the drone. Despite being engaged three times by the Pantsir-S1, the Ukrainian one-way attack drone continues toward its target and successfully strikes the Russian commercial ship.

First Drone vs. Manned Fighter Combat? On December 8, 2025, the Ukrainian Air Force confirmed the loss of a Su-27 fighter jet piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Yevhenii Ivanov, who was killed during a combat mission in the eastern direction. Yesterday, December 17, one Mi-24 was downed in same circumstances. Russian sources allege the aircraft was shot down, but Ukrainian statements describe the circumstances as under investigation, with no official confirmation of the cause. There are unverified Russian claims linking it to a modified Geran-2 drone equipped with an R-60 missile. Ukrainian intelligence has confirmed the existence of Geran-2 variants armed with R-60 air-to-air missiles, designed primarily to counter aircraft or helicopters approaching to intercept drone swarms. If independently verified, such an engagement could represent a significant milestone in drone-vs-manned aircraft combat. This development aligns with broader trends i mentioned in my previous article on Chinese high-altitude drones conducting air-to-air target acquisition from positions well above potential threats. Elon Musk has indeed argued that the future of warfare lies with unmanned aircraft, stating that manned fighter jets are becoming obsolete in the drone era and predicting a shift toward autonomous or remotely controlled systems. But i believe that it’s something to the next two decades. Sixth-generation aircraft concepts often emphasize manned platforms controlling swarms of drones (loyal wingmen), but the question pushes further: How will manned fighters compete against high-altitude unmanned systems operating 10–15 km above their service ceiling and potentially launching air-air hypersonic missiles? In January I will post an article on China's development of layered high-altitude drone systems for ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance), one optimized for aerial threats and another for naval targets. Recent Chinese programs, like high-altitude stealth drones, recharge stations and mothership concepts capable of deploying swarms, suggest active progress in this direction.

💥 “Look — it’s flying, damn it!” A sleepless night in Samara Instead of sleeping, residents were filming the flight of an unidentified drone. Meanwhile in Moscow, a drone passed through the air defense network deployed to the capital from across the country and crashed into a high-rise building just a few kilometers from the Kremlin.

Airbus & Frankenburg: Mark I missile engages kamikaze drone in first airborne intercept Frankenburg’s Mark I guided interceptor missile has been successfully integrated for air-to-air launch with Airbus Defence Bird of Prey uncrewed interceptor drone. In a live demonstration, the Bird of Prey autonomously detected and engaged a one-way attack drone using a Mark I missile. This marks the first time a low-cost, mass-manufacturable guided interceptor missile has been deployed from a reusable airborne platform in this way. The integration was completed in just 9 months. This is a defining step for modern air defence: making large-scale interception economically viable. 1) Multiple air-to-air engagements from a single reusable interceptor drone 2) Up to 8 missiles per drone, each weighing less than 2 kg 3) Order-of-magnitude reduction in cost per intercept Full statement: #WinTech
