The war in Ukraine is no stranger to drones, but the kamikaze drone strike on the Russian city of Rostov last week marked the beginning of a whole chapter in drone warfare. A small ramshackle Ukrainian drone with a tiny warhead flew across the heavily defended front line and smashed into an oil refinery in Russia on June 22, causing a large fire. Given how cheap it is to make a drone, and its successful evasion of Russian air defenses, Russian officials might soon have to worry about defending oil facilities, supply depots, and military installations deep in Russian territory . Long-range kamikaze drones are a new threat to Russia. Most observers of the conflict in Ukraine are familiar with the Switchblade drones provided by the U.S., but these have a relatively short range and require operators to direct it onto a target. Kamikaze drones like the one used in the Rostov attack can go hundreds of miles without the need for an operator, and are small enough to slip by much of … [Read more...] about Putin Should Be Very Worried About Ukraine’s New Kamikaze Drone

Even Russian military leadership was shocked to learn of the mayhem and dysfunction among Vladimir Putin’s troops in occupied eastern Ukraine, according to Ukrainian intelligence.

No details were provided on when the phone call was said to have taken place, or where exactly in Donetsk the man was based. “Basically, today our guys went to the Russian headquarters,” said the man, who was not identified by name. “They are not aware that there are so few of us here...

President Joe Biden held a trilateral meeting with the leaders of Japan and South Korea – Prime Minister Kishida Fumio and President Yoon Suk-yeol, respectively – in Spain on Wednesday in which the two conservatives pressed Biden to prioritize the threat from communist North Korea. The meeting, on the sidelines of the ongoing NATO summit in Europe, was a rare moment in which Biden was outnumbered as a leftist on the world stage. The public remarks by both Kishida and Yoon emphasized their mutual concern over rogue state neighbor North Korea and suggested anxiety about the fact that Biden has not implemented any meaningful North Korea policy since becoming president. Kishida also appeared to signal concerns over potential military belligerence on the part of communist China, North Korea’s closest ally, remarking that the conferences in Europe this week should work to ensure that no country “draws the wrong lessons” from Russia’s escalation in February of its eight-year-old … [Read more...] about Conservative Japan, S.
