Military robots are no longer just science-fiction creations; they now play a crucial role on modern battlefields. Their ability to automate dangerous and repetitive tasks is transforming defense strategies, opening up new possibilities for armies while raising complex ethical and legal issues. The different types of military robots Military robots fall into several categories, each […]
The war in Ukraine has brought to light the challenges it is facing. Since the start of the conflict, the Russian army has sustained significant losses in terms of equipment, revealing the poor condition of much of its arsenal. According to several OSINT sources, Russia has lost more than 20,000 items of equipment since the start […]
Naval drones are no longer monolithic systems or one-off prototypes. They now encompass a full ecosystem of unmanned platforms: surface vehicles (USVs), subsurface drones (UUVs/AUVs), and swarming systems. Each category comes with unique capabilities, mission profiles, and industrial suppliers. To understand how unmanned maritime systems are transforming naval operations, we must start with a clear […]
The development of hypersonic weapons is now at the forefront of international strategic concerns. In Ukraine, Russia used the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile operationally for the first time, demonstrating the practical strike capability of these weapons, though several were intercepted by Ukrainian Patriot systems. Beyond Europe, rising tensions around the Taiwan Strait and significant U.S. investment […]
Technological innovations and tactical adaptations The Russian-Ukrainian conflict was a catalyst for drone innovation. Both sides quickly adapted their technologies and tactics to meet the challenges posed by this new form of warfare. In this article, we explore how technological innovations and tactical adaptations have transformed the use of drones in this conflict. Rapidly evolving […]
In the early days of the war, few anticipated that a nation with a modest navy would come to challenge a major maritime power in its own backyard. Yet, by 2023, Ukraine had pushed large segments of the Russian Black Sea Fleet away from the Crimean coastline. How? Not with cruisers or submarines but with […]
On August 13, 2025, the leak of nearly 9 GB of internal files from a North Korean cyber espionage unit highlighted a reality now familiar to the world’s major armies: cyber attacks are increasingly targeting military organizations directly, compromising not only their operations but also their deterrent credibility. North Korea: a breach at the heart […]
FibreCoat GmbH, based in Aachen, Germany, has unveiled a groundbreaking fiber‑reinforced composite reportedly capable of drastically reducing radar cross-section (RCS), making platforms far harder to detect. This innovation marks a strategic evolution in passive stealth materials, shifting from reflection-based coatings to materials that actively absorb radar energy. Strategic context: why passive stealth matters now? Modern […]
Faced with China’s military assertiveness and aggressive claims in the South China Sea, several countries in the region are rapidly re-equipping and modernizing their armed forces. The goal: to prevent aggression, strengthen deterrence capabilities, and consolidate strategic alliances. 🇵🇭 Philippines & 🇮🇳 India: a budding naval alliance In early August 2025, the Philippines and India […]
Israel has spent decades refining one of the world’s most advanced air defense architectures. Driven by constant exposure to rocket fire, missile threats, and UAV incursions from state and non-state actors alike, the country developed a multi-layered system capable of intercepting everything from crude short-range rockets to sophisticated ballistic missiles. This architecture rests on four […]
