A car bombing outside Yekaterinburg killed the driver & left Vladimir Tkachuk, creator of Russia's Upyr attack drones, in intensive care. It was the 2nd attack in a week on the head of a Russian drone firm: on July 29, a gunman in Tula shot Andrey Cherezov, owner of another drone supplier, 3 times.

Russia’s Third Mass Attack This Week Kills 17, Injures 51 in Kyiv and Region

The barrage came days after US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker confirmed Washington has not agreed to allow Ukraine to manufacture Patriot interceptor missiles domestically.

I'm a Ukrainian-American living in Kyiv and I literally got bombed a few hours ago and my city is still on fire and dozens are dead. This happens every week or so just in Kyiv. It's worse in other places. I sure as fuck am entitled to push the United States into helping Ukraine defend itself.

You guys are going to make me write about that New Mexico medevac crash, aren't you? Stop spreading articles claiming it was shot down by DOD or DHS or CBP, etc. Read the Prelim here. There was a NOTAM on the GPS being down. If the crew needs GPS to fly, then don't fly. web.ntsb.gov/investigatio...

And now it's up to 5,000+ likes. SIGH. That second paragraph is ridiculous. The GPS being unavailable was in a NOTAM which they would have gotten on the ground. They were unable to hold an altitude which has nothing to do with GPS. All pilots must fly & land without GPS. If you can't, do not fly.

I'd love a DJI Osmo Nano 2 with a 8:7 5K sensor. DJI didn't even consider picking the same sensors GoPro uses, rather went for 8K.

🤯 A drone with explosives was found near a Ukrainian An-124 at Leipzig Airport, halting flights, per Bild. During a go-around, another cargo plane collided with an unknown object 6 km away and landed in Hanover with a damaged nose. Leipzig's southern runway remains closed.

German Bundespolizei have discovered a drone carrying a possible explosive on the runway at Leipzig/Halle Airport, according to SZ. The drone was found in the vicinity of a Ukrainian Antonov transport aircraft and is being treated as a possible sabotage attempt. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/flug...

🔴 A Russian cluster munition strike destroyed a Nova Poshta sorting center in Kyiv, killing three people and injuring eight others.

also air travel has gotten objectively better yknow what used to happen a couple times a year and no longer happens at all? An airliner would be landing with a thunderstorm within 10-15 miles of the field and the plane would just randomly fall out of the sky

🔴 BREAKING: Russian missile and drone strikes on logistics hubs in Kyiv and its region killed 15 people and injured 42. Taking advantage of a critical lack of Patriot air defenses, Russia’s frequent hypersonic strikes leave the capital with no choice but to absorb the hits.

If you wonder why Ukraine keeps asking for Patriot missiles, this is why. 14 people were killed and 22 injured in russian ballistic missile strikes on the Kyiv region this night. Air defense saves lives, but only if it has missiles to fire.

A large missile attack on Kyiv has just taken place, with reports of up to nearly 3 dozen missiles being used, including a number of North Korean supplied KN-23s, also known as Hwasong-11a

Another night - another ballistic missile attack on Kyiv. Thank you "partners" for "excellent. sanctions work!". Hope you fucking choke upon that fucking russian fur and everything else. Fucking hypocrites. #UkrainianView

The russians are trying to kill us with ballistic missiles again.

Kyiv is once again under a horrific russian ballistic missile attack now.

Epic video from AZOV

this is clickbait garbage a) it wasn't ~dronez~ stuff, it was the same vanilla GPS jamming that has occurred at WSMR for decades b) a crew should *absolutely* be capable of conducting a nonprecision approach to an ILS, *ESPECIALLY* if there's a NOTAM out for PNT jamming

A routine medical flight, on a clear night, ended with a plane crash that killed all four people onboard. Investigators say it's the first known US civilian plane crash tied to electronic warfare. This won't be the last story of its kind. A must-read from @jeffwise.bsky.social for @wired.com

It’s pretty clear that’s not what happened at all and this is like the 3rd different outlet I’ve seen saying as much

Small drones are killing more civilians than ever before - and we need to act. Here’s my thoughts on what we need to do, like establishing a center dedicated to evaluating and investigating drone attacks, training investigators, and explaining how IHL applies to self-defense against drones:

What Can We Do About Drone Attacks on Civilians? Some Thoughts

Lately, I've been spending a lot of time analyzing, reporting on, and researching the horrifying global uptick in the use of small, cheap, short-range drones to intentionally target and kill civilians...
