Ukraine's Cheap DIY Drones Taken Out Million-Dollar Worth Tank, BUT how? Recent developments on Russia-Ukraine war have highlighted the evolving nature of warfare in the modern era. Ukraine, facing the constant threat of Russian aggression, has found an ingenious and cost-effective solution to counter the formidable armored might of its neighbor: cheap DIY drones. These small, seemingly inconspicuous flying devices are proving to be a David against the Goliath of advanced Russian tanks worth millions. Footage showed how T-90M tanks were targeted and taken out using low-cost, DIY drones. As we witness million-dollar tanks surrender to relatively affordable DIY drones, one can't help but questions: are these million-dollar tanks truly as powerful as they are often advertised? or could it be their power is somewhat overrated?

FPV drones to be purchased for Armed Forces of Ukraine – Deputy Prime Minister... FPV drones will be among the drones, for the purchase of which at least UAH20 billion [around USD543 million] will be allocated for Ukrainian soldiers this year. Kyiv’s fighting forces have managed to rapidly digitize, something the U.S. has spent decades and billions of dollars to do. WSJ Brussels bureau chief Dan Michaels joins host Julie Chang to discuss the shoestring tactics of Ukraine’s military and what the Pentagon can learn from them. Plus, assistive-tech company eSight showcases its next-generation eyewear for the visually impaired at CES. Ukrainian army revamps commercial drones to attack Russian tanks, trenches... Ukraine's defence ministry calls them kamikazes, because the warhead destroys the drone itself. They are also known as First Person View (FPV) drones because the operator dons goggles that show a video feed from them as they fly. They can carry out strikes that would be out of reach of other weapons. Aug 4, 2023.

Drone-on-Drone Combat in Ukraine Marks a New Era of Aerial Warfare.
Antidrone technology is combatting “flying IEDs” in the air over Ukraine—with implications beyond the war with Russia. In the skies over Ukraine, a new epoch in air warfare is emerging: drone-on-drone combat. These aerial duels don’t involve bullets, missiles or bombs. In some, hobby-type camera quadcopters that are used to spy on enemy positions simply ram each other in a crude aerial demolition derby. In other encounters, highly sophisticated craft use advanced radar—backed by artificial intelligence and the latest aerospace engineering technology—to precision fire nets that snag other drones. “This is something we haven’t seen before,” says Caitlin Lee, who leads the Center for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Autonomy Studies at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies in Arlington, Va. “This is the first time we’re seeing drone-on-drone conflict.” the initial drone dogfights sprung from the proliferation of commercially available, low-cost, low-altitude aircraft, such as Chinese drone maker DJI’s quadcopter. People can creatively modify these hobbyist machines for combat to allow the drones to conduct overhead surveillance and drop grenades. Defending against such small drones, some weighing just a few ounces or pounds, is difficult. For starters, they are hard to detect. “We can retrain air defenses to look for smaller radar cross sections, but then they’ll pick up every bird that flies by,” says Sarah Kreps, director of the Cornell Brooks School Tech Policy Institute.

FPV Dogfight - Too Close for Guns vs Freewing F-22 Raptor 90mm. Head-tracking FPV close formation & dogfight with a Freewing F-22 Raptor 90mm EDF Jet using Tally-ho Head tracker and Motionsic BAG (BadAss Gimbal pan & tilt) in an E-flite Viper 90mm EDF jet. The chase pilot attempts to maneuver the ViperJet for a guns shot using a functional reflector sight but encounters unexpected difficulties. Head tracking FPV camera enables chase pilot to intuitively follow lead plane through aerobatic maneuvers simply by moving his head without losing sight. It's the most immersive, realistic flying experience possible flying a RC jet!

Fighting superior Russian firepower, Ukrainian forces turn off-the-shelf drones into deadly weapons by adapting them to carry explosives. Buzzing like an oversize mosquito, a small drone lifted off from a farm field in eastern Ukraine, hovered for a bit, then raced toward Russian positions near the battle-ravaged city of Bakhmut. “Friends, let’s go!” said the pilot, Private Yevhen. With a pair of virtual reality goggles strapped around his head, he used joysticks to steer the craft and its payload of two pounds of explosives.

“Gangsters of Capitalism”: Jonathan Katz on the Parallels Between Jan. 6 and 1934 Anti-FDR Coup Plot.

HAS THERE EVER BEEN A TIME IN AMERICA'S HISTORY WHEN THERE WASN'T A BUNCH OF RICH PRICKS TRYING TO END THE CONSTITUTION AND TAKE OVER? “Gangsters of Capitalism”: Jonathan Katz on the Parallels Between Jan. 6 and 1934 Anti-FDR Coup Plot We speak to award-winning journalist Jonathan Katz about his new book “Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America’s Empire.” The book follows the life of the Marines officer Smedley Butler and the trail of U.S. imperialism from Cuba and the Philippines to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Panama. The book also describes an effort by banking and business leaders to topple Franklin D. Roosevelt’s government in 1934 in order to establish a fascist dictatorship. The plot was exposed by Butler, who famously declared, “War is a racket.” The far-right conspiracy to overthrow liberal democracy has historical parallels to the recent January 6 insurrection, says Katz. https://www.dem...

Woman had alleged Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein raped her in 1994.

Woman had alleged Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein raped her in 1994. A conference had been scheduled for December 2016. A woman who had accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was a 13-year-old dropped her lawsuit against the Republican nominee on Friday. One of the accuser’s attorneys, Thomas Meagher, filed a one-page voluntary dismissal in district court in New York late on Friday. Neither he nor a second attorney listed immediately responded to questions about the document. The woman, who had filed suit earlier this year under the pseudonym Jane Doe, had alleged that Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein had raped her in 1994, when she was a 13-year-old aspiring model. Trump’s accuser asserted that while she was exploring a modeling career in 1994, she attended a series of parties at the Manhattan home of prominent investor Jeffrey Epstein. She alleges that during those parties the real estate mogul tied her to a bed and raped her. She also claimed Epste...
