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 […]
On the morning of July 28, 2025, Aeroflot was the victim of a cyberattack. Central booking, dispatch and crew‑planning systems fell silent, forcing staff at Sheremetyevo to revert to paper manifests. The airline canceled 54 round-trip flights on that day, causing delays on routes operated by its subsidiaries Rossiya and Pobeda, as well as on […]
Laser weapons are now a technological reality, redefining the rules of modern warfare at the speed of light.Ukraine recently unveiled an innovative laser weapon system called Tryzub, marking a major advance in its air defense capabilities. This development places the country among a small circle of military powers that have taken a significant technological step […]
An autonomous military drone is an unmanned aerial system capable of performing certain tasks autonomously, such as navigation or detection, but the firing decision is generally still validated by a human. These are known as intelligent armed drones or autonomous lethal systems (ALS). Examples of autonomous military UAVs 🇺🇸 XQ-58A Valkyrie (USA) The XQ-58A Valkyrie is […]
In less than a decade, artificial intelligence in the armed forces has gone from emerging technology to capability foundation: major powers are now reconfigure their equipment plans around agents capable of analyzing, planning and executing complex tasks at very high rates, while keeping humans in the loop for any lethal decisions. 🇺🇸 United States: on […]
