We've had 11 drone incursions over wildfires in #FireYear2023. Please remember that when unauthorized drones intrude on wildfire operations, aerial suppression efforts are halted until the UAS is removed. So far this year, air operations were shutdown seven times. Video by NIFC

#Syria: an Israeli attack helicopter was filmed today over Yarmuk Basin (NW. #Daraa). They are used in anti-drone operations, but so far just a handful of Iranian drones aiming at Israel managed to reach S. Syria - unlike last year's conflict when dozens of UAVs were shot down over the region.

Helitack crews serve as highly skilled and productive aerial firefighting resources. These crews are specially trained in the tactical and logistical use of helicopters for fire suppression, serving as a primary initial attack resource, often first on-scene to assess the wildfire. The U.S. Wildland Fire Service Boise Helitack crew is unique in the sense they are the only Interior-firefighting unit that operates a Type 1 helicopter for helitack operations. They respond to wildfires with a full complement of firefighting tools, 660-gallon water dropping bucket, and 12 firefighters on board – more than any other rotor-wing firefighting asset in the country. Their UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter is one of the most safe, effective, and efficient firefighting aircraft in all wildfire response. Like other wildland fire resources, they respond where they are needed most, supporting wildfire operations across the country.

This is what occupation looks and sounds like. In red are armed Israeli surveillance drones circling various areas of Lebanon. On the right is a list of air and drone strike that have happened so far this morning. The sound was just recorded from my balcony.

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.

Another of the largest refineries in Russia has shut down after a drone attack. The Novoshakhtinsk Oil Refinery (Rostov Region, with a capacity of 5 million tons per year) ceased operations due to equipment damage from a drone strike on December 25th. According to Reuters, both primary oil processing units were shut down - this is already the second refinery to completely shut down in December. The Novoshakhtinsk Refinery became the sixth facility attacked by drones this month. In November, Ukrainian drones struck at least 14 oil refineries - a new record.

🚨 UFO DRONE WARS in New Jersey?! Shocking Video Emerges 🚨 A stunning and mysterious incident has unfolded over Hamilton Lake, New Jersey, leaving witnesses and experts baffled. A newly surfaced video shows what appears to be one drone attacking another mid-air, causing it to spiral out of control and crash into the lake. What are we witnessing? 👽 Could this be a UFO drone war? 🤖 Advanced, unidentified technology engaging in combat? 🕵️‍♂️ Or is it a new frontier in covert military or surveillance operations? Eyewitnesses reported strange lights in the sky before the incident, fueling speculation of extraterrestrial involvement or secret tech experiments. The footage raises chilling questions: Who or what was controlling these drones? Is this evidence of unknown forces operating in our skies? Are we on the brink of a new era of drone warfare? As experts rush to analyze the footage, one thing is clear: this is no ordinary drone malfunction. The precision of the "attack" and the sudden loss of control suggest advanced capabilities far beyond anything we've seen. Are UFOs taking over our skies? Or is this a glimpse of military tech being tested in plain sight? The world is watching. Stay tuned as this story develops. #UFO #DroneWars #HamiltonLakeMystery #BreakingNews

Video: Sarhang oilfield was attacked in Amedi district of Duhok this morning. Two KRG oilfields in Duhok and Erbil have now been attacked since last night which together produce 40% of the KRG’s oil. This is unprecedented. Following the drone strikes on Khurmala last night, the Sarsang oilfield’s storage facilities, reportedly full of oil, were attacked, leading to a large explosion. The fire remains not fully extinguished three hours later. The operating company, HKN, stated that operations at the field have been halted. It is unclear whether the attack was carried out by drones or rockets. These incidents come amid the ongoing KRG salary crisis, with public employees unpaid for 76 days and no breakthrough yet in the Erbil–Baghdad negotiations over oil and salaries.

A Ukrainian drone crashed in the Kastre Rural Municipality of southeastern Estonia as they were flying to attack Russia's Ust-Luga Port. Locals reported the sound of a drone over their houses, before explosions. Additionally, during the night, air alerts were issued for Parnu in western Estonia, around 180 km from the Russian border. Ukrainian drones have now crashed in NATO territory during 4 out of the 5 Ukrainian attacks on Russia's Baltic Sea Ports. This is additional evidence that some Ukrainian drones are utilising NATO airspace during their flight paths to evade Russian air defence.

🚨 IRAN STRIKES U.S. AIR BASE — HIGH-VALUE ASSETS HIT This isn’t speculation anymore. U.S. forces at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia were struck by Iranian missiles and drones. American personnel were wounded. Aircraft were damaged. And among them… A U.S. E-3 AWACS — one of the most critical assets in modern warfare. This is not just another aircraft. It’s an airborne command centre. • Tracks threats across entire regions • Directs air operations in real time • Coordinates strikes, defence, and response Take that offline — even partially — and you blind the battlefield. Let’s be precise: There is no confirmed evidence it was destroyed. But it was reportedly hit. And that alone is significant. Because this tells us something far bigger: Iran can still reach — and hit — high-value U.S. military infrastructure. Even inside heavily defended zones. This is escalation. Not rhetoric. Not warnings. Real impact. The question now is no longer if this spreads… It’s how far. Watch this closely.

🇯🇵🇨🇳 Japan scrambled fighter jets on June 12 after a Chinese Y-9 intelligence aircraft and a TB-001 reconnaissance and strike drone flew over the East China Sea from south of the Danjo Islands toward waters near Okinawa. Japanese Defense Minister Shinjirō Koizumi said this was the first confirmed and publicly announced TB-001 flight of the current fiscal year. He noted that the drone is capable of long-range operations and can be armed with anti-ship and surface-to-surface missiles. Video is generated by Grok AI

🚨 Drones + Helicopters = Dangerous and Illegal 🚨 Yesterday around 3:40 p.m., a drone was filmed flying directly above a LifeFlight helicopter as it landed at Primary Children’s Hospital to transport a critically ill child. Because the drone was spotted, all air operations had to stop until the area was cleared — causing a completely preventable delay in life-saving care. Flying a drone near emergency helicopters is extremely dangerous and illegal. A collision could be catastrophic, damaging rotor blades and putting patients, flight crews, and people on the ground at risk. Those responsible will be prosecuted and could face stiff fines or jail time. ⚠️ What you need to know: 🚁 Drones near hospitals, helipads, wildfires, or emergency scenes force helicopters to ground, stopping critical missions 💥 Drone–helicopter collisions have happened and can be deadly ⚖️ Flying a drone near aircraft is a federal offense, not just a citation 📏 Drones should not be flown within ¾ mile (1.4 km) of a helipad without FAA approval ⛔ If you see or hear a helicopter, land your drone immediately and move away

‼️Unique footage and details of the preparation of the operation to destroy Russian air bases published by the SBU! Drones were hidden in the roofs of camouflaged cargo containers. According to SBU sources, Ukraine's Security Service conducted a special operation called "Pautyna" ("Spiderweb"), which had been in planning for over a year and a half and resulted in strikes on 41 Russian strategic aircraft. The operation was personally overseen by President Volodymyr Zelensky, with execution led by SBU chief Vasyl Maliuk and his team. The mission involved complex logistics: •FPV drones were first smuggled into Russian territory •Later, mobile wooden sheds were also transported in •The drones were hidden under the roofs of these sheds, which were placed on cargo trucks •At the designated time, the roofs opened remotely and the drones launched, targeting military airfields and aircraft SBU sources emphasize that all personnel involved in the operation are already back in Ukraine, so any future arrests by Russian authorities would likely be for domestic propaganda purposes.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Many of the 13 U.S. military bases across the region are "all but uninhabitable." Kuwait's bases took the worst damage, being closest to Iran. Six Americans were killed when a strike destroyed a tactical operations center at Port Shuaiba. Ali Al Salem took hits on aircraft structures. Camp Buehring lost maintenance and fuel facilities. In Qatar, CENTCOM's own regional air headquarters had its early-warning radar damaged. In Bahrain, the 5th Fleet HQ took a drone to its comms equipment. In Saudi Arabia, Prince Sultan Air Base lost several refueling tankers and communications gear. The Pentagon said Iran's military was "decimated." Nobody mentioned that America's regional basing infrastructure was getting gutted in return. Four weeks of nightly attacks with cheap drones and missiles rendered some of the most important U.S. military installations in the world effectively unusable. This is the cost nobody in Washington wants to talk about while they celebrate strike counts. Source: New York Times
