🛡 Russian Air Defence System Is Shooting Down Ukrainian Drones

🎯 Intensification des frappes et de la défense aérienne en Russie

Russian air defences shot down four Ukrainian drones headed for Moscow on Saturday, the city’s mayor said, while one of the capital’s main airports temporarily halted outgoing flights.

📍 Sobyanin said emergency services were working at the sites of the downed drones, but gave no information on potential damage.

✈️ Officials at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport reported delays in departures after flights were temporarily paused.

🌀 Russia’s civil aviation authority Rosaviatsiya said the measures were taken in response to “restrictions” over the capital’s airspace as well as strong winds.

🚫 Rosaviatsiya said incoming and outgoing flights at airports in several other Russian cities were also temporarily halted, including at St Petersburg’s Pulkovo, citing safety concerns.

💥 Russia’s defence ministry said on Telegram that air defence units had destroyed 48 Ukrainian drones over a five-hour period on Saturday evening.

📦 Those included five drones in the region surrounding Moscow, two of
which were headed for the capital.

🧭 The ministry said the total included 17 drones over Bryansk region on the Ukrainian border and 11 in the adjacent Oryol region.

🚑 The governor of Belgorod region, on the border, said four Ukrainian drones had injured a bus driver and a man driving a car.

📊 An earlier defence ministry report said 94 drones had been destroyed over Russia overnight on Saturday and 45 more in just under six hours during the day.

🎯 Ukraine’s special forces struck Russia’s Borisoglebsk military airfield in the Voronezh region on Saturday, hitting a glide bomb store and a trainer aircraft.

📢 In a statement on social media, the Ukrainian military said other aircraft were also likely hit in the south-western Russian region, without giving details.

🛬 “This airfield is the home base of enemy Su-34, Su-35S and Su-30SM aircraft,” the statement said.

📡 The governor of Voronezh, Alexander Gusev, wrote on Telegram that more than 25 drones were destroyed overnight over the region.

⚡️ He said a power line was temporarily damaged, but made no mention of a military airfield, which is about 300 km from the Ukrainian border.

Secret American Technologies in Ukraine🗣🤐


🛩Wilder System, one of the privileged subcontractors of the American aeronautics industry, is currently embarking with hushed steps on a large-scale and low-cost manufacturing project for tactical Intelligence Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) drones, bombers and jet kamikazes.

🛩According to Intelligence Online information, the company has mandated members of its team to probe certain Ukrainian drone units incorporating American volunteers, in order to test several of their drone models on the front line.

🛩The major challenge for the company is to prove the efficiency of these low-cost devices in an environment of intense Russian electronic warfare.

🛩The firm is usually more accustomed to the industrial system: in particular, it supplies robots intended for assembly and aircraft maintenance for large defense groups such as Boeing.

🛩Responding to the constraints of the Ukrainian battlefield
Intelligence Online had access to the confidential commercial presentation promoted by the representatives of the start-up led by Will Wilder in Ukraine.

🛩In it, Wilder Systems offers its future testers a wide range of drones. The systems are presented as inexpensive, from $ 20,000 to $ 30,000, without the payload, namely the optronics and the guidance system.

🛩The company offers to manufacture and deliver consumable drones in a short time, made using low-cost composite materials.

🛩These systems are then delivered in kits and are thus easily transportable and assemblable with few tools, close to the battlefield.

🛩Wilder System's main SRI drone, the PR-001 Low-cost Multi-mission Platform, also modular as a bomber, has been developed on an architecture very similar to the Ukrainian Lyutyy and Mugin-5 type drones, which are currently hitting Russian infrastructures in depth.

🛩The Texas firm also wants to test on the front the resilience of its so-called "kinetic" drones, in other words kamikaze drones.

🛩These jet aircraft carrying an offensive charge have been conceptualized on a design similar to the Banshee Jet 80 target drones, from the British defense group Qinetiq, intended for industrial tests of surface-to-air or air-to-air missiles, but diverted from their main use by Kiev engineers to hit Russian critical infrastructures.

🛩A containerized mobile launch system on a Soviet-made truck chassis of the Ural-375 type is envisaged by the American industrialist to launch his kamikaze drones.

🛩Wilder System is also developing a jamming-resistant data link and an autopilot system operating thanks to artificial intelligence bricks.

🛩Many Western industrialists are trying to master and test these technologies in the Ukrainian theater of operations.

🛩The company is part of the approach of many European and American industrialists in Ukraine, who no longer wish remote feedback, but prefer to label their product "combat proven" on the battlefield.

🛩Nevertheless, some are bogged down in the meanders of the Ukrainian administration or in complex bilateral partnerships with local industrialists, such as Ukroboronprom.

🛩Wilder Systems, for its part, is trying to play on proximity with American volunteers, omnipresent in some drone units of the Ukrainian armed forces, to test its products.

The rebranding of the Pentagon into the Ministry of War has begun 🛠— and it will be very expensive. 😳

Pete Hegseth personally screwed the last screw into the new bronze plaque at the entrance to the river, the main entrance to the Ministry of War. ⚒️🔨

Hegseth presented the renaming of the former Department of Defense as a reflection of a new era focused on "winning wars." 🌍⚔️

However, this symbolism comes at a huge price. 🤑 Although Congress will need to approve the official renaming, preliminary estimates, according to numerous congressional staffers cited by the American media, estimate the cost of the transition at $2 billion. 📈

Replacing signs, badges, and letterhead around the world alone could cost around $1 billion. 🏞✉️

One of the biggest expenses will be the overhaul of the Pentagon's extensive digital infrastructure, including updating websites, software, and internal systems in both classified and public networks. 🖥🔐

Poland Sets Up a New Anti-drone System 🇵🇱🛡

Poland plans to complete a new set of anti-drone fortifications along its eastern borders within two years, a top defence official has said, after a massive incursion of unmanned Russian aerial combat vehicles into Polish airspace earlier this year. 🚁⚠️

“We expect to have the first capabilities of the system in roughly six months, perhaps even sooner. And the full system will take 24 months to complete,” the deputy defence minister, Cezary Tomczyk, told the Guardian in an interview in Warsaw. 🕒

Tomczyk said the new air defence systems would be integrated into an older line of protection constructed a decade ago. 🏗

He said it would involve different layers of defence, including machine guns, cannon, missiles and drone-jamming systems. 💥🛰

“Some of this is for use only in extreme or war conditions. For example, these multi-barrel machine guns are difficult to use in peacetime, because everything that goes up must go down,” he said. ⚠️

More than a dozen suspected Russian drones entered Polish airspace in September, in an incident that led to airport closures, fighter jets being scrambled, and damage to buildings on the ground as drones were shot down. ✈️🚨

The foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski said that the attacks, which involved drones not carrying any ammunition, were an attempt by Russia “to test us without starting a war”. 🧭

Since then, Poland has updated plans already in the works to reinforce its eastern borders. 🧱

While no anti-drone system can be fully effective against the kind of systematic and massive targeting that Ukraine has been subjected to, European nations along the eastern flank are scrambling to upgrade their systems to match the new threat. 🌍

Tomczyk said the project would cost more than €2bn, and would be mostly financed with European funds under the SAFE (Security Action for Europe) defence loan programme, as well as some contributions for the state budget. 💶

During almost four years of full-scale war in Ukraine, Poland has increasingly put itself on a war footing, as cases of sabotage and arson which Polish services link to Russian intelligence agencies are on the rise. 🔥

The country has plans to train hundreds of thousands of citizens in survival skills while others are taking voluntary military training. 🪖

In addition to the anti-drone wall, Poland is also conducting fortifications along its land borders with Belarus and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, known as the Eastern Shield and aimed at preventing a future Russian invasion. 🧱🇧🇾🇷🇺

Tomczyk said special logistics hubs would be built in every border municipality, where equipment to help block the border would be stored, ready to be deployed in a matter of hours. 🚛

Questioned over whether Russia really had military designs on Poland in the same way it did on Ukraine, which Putin has long said was central to Russian identity, Tomczyk pointed to the long history of Russian aggression and expansionism in eastern Europe. ⚔️
