Yemen isn’t close to iran Time of flight is +/- 45 minutes to bombs on target in Yemen vs bombs on target somewhere in Iran! Just a few degrees north, early on gets you to Iran around the same time. |

B-2s, like every other weapon, need practice.
Practice on the living is more valuable than on some practice range. |

https://www.twz.com/air/b-2-spirits-just-sent-a-very-ominous-message-to-iran-that-only-they-can
The B-2's strike on Houthi weapons bunkers was about sending a dire message that only the stealth bomber could send. The timing of such a strike makes perfect sense as it happened just as the tension between Israel and Iran is about to hit uncharted territory as the world awaits what is by all indications going to be a significant strike by Israel directly on Iran. Sending a very direct reminder that the U.S. has the ability to destroy extremely hardened sites with conventional weapons and it is willing to use them seems right on cue in terms of deterrence theater. This is only magnified if MOP was indeed used for the first time. In fact, MOP-related news often peculiarly pops-up during times of escalation with America's 'rogue state' foes, although a demonstration of operational use has never occurred. Regardless, striking these sites with any munitions also degrades the Houthi's long-range capabilities ahead of an Israeli operation, which is important. |

Russian Orthodox Church not going without a fight.
🤯🎥 In Cherkasy there was an assault and a fight on the territory of the largest Orthodox church in Ukraine Today, the Saint Michael's Cathedral in Cherkassy, the largest Ukrainian Orthodox church, was transferred to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, and from now on it was declared a garrison. Against this background, a fight broke out on the territory of the temple between believers of the OCU and the UOC MP. Local mass media write that MP representatives broke the entrance gate and sprayed tear gas, a fight broke out. https://t.me/RBC_ua_news/115337

GMLRS for instance would in theory be easy to for something like an S300 to deal with if it can handle much faster ballistic missiles, but it's speed being closer to a supersonic jet than a BM may have made the Russian systems classify it in a way that made it more difficult for the operators to work the problem and shoot in the limited time they had. Certain versions of AEGIS have to be put in either air defense or ballistic missile defense mode, so if the ship assigned to protect the carrier was set to ballistic missile mode while some other asset like a Hawkeye or something was looking for drones and cruise missiles, I could see a situation where a missile on an unplanned for depressed trajectory might slip past systems that could easily detect it but may have been inadvertently set to filter out contacts matchng it's flight characteristics, or at least have the contacts pushed to systems/processes that are meant for much slower threats that give enough time for people to follow the procedures set forth to sort through and engage them. Those are good points, but remember that the SBIR satellite constellation we have is very good at spotting ballistic missiles seconds after launch and tracking them. There would have been some communication to the task group that a ballistic missile was heading their way, even if it was fired hundreds of miles from the task group. My point is that most likely someone saw it coming. However, the article doesn't name names, and doesn't give any real details about this engagement. I suspect it didn't happen because a lot more people would have known about it if it was true. Reference to the capability of missile warning from space with SBIR with examples.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xt8dwW4cgY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDTnl4E9FiYI agree we would have detected it, but that information might have been passed on to a DDG running in BMD mode that wasn't able to engage it because it was setup to intercept normal ballistic missiles and not an unexpected depressed trajectory shot from closer range.

If something completely unexpected happens that falls outside the rehearsed procedures, maybe a missile can get through. Also good points, but again I am suspicious of that whole report, because when something happens and our missiles and systems don't work as they should, we usually get notice fast and investigations start on what went wrong and was it our weapon or another factor that failed in that scenario. |

That's a long and expensive mission to bomb the same people we've been bombing with 4th generation aircraft for the last several months. And IMO this lends some credence to the reports that they targeted one of our carriers. The date line on the article is May 1st. Even as incompetent as this administration is, I doubt they waited 5.5 months to retaliate for an alleged attack on a CVN. |

As reported by CNN, this covert unit has conducted a staggering 500+ drone strikes deep within Russian borders since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022. The Shadow Warriors: Inside the Long-Range UAV Unit Known simply as the Long-Range UAV Unit to its tight-knit group of members, this elite team operates under the watchful command of two key individuals: Serge, the seasoned long-range drone operations commander, and Vector, the unit’s steadfast leader. CNN’s journalists spent an intensive two days embedded with the unit as it meticulously prepared to launch a swarm of over 100 drones on a high-stakes mission targeting a strategic ammunition depot located in Kotluban, Russia. Intelligence reports indicated that the depot was being used to store recently delivered Iranian missiles, making it a top-priority target. https://dronexl.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/img_4015-1.jpg.webp David vs. Goliath: Overwhelming Russian Air Defenses The unit’s primary workhorses are the formidable AN-196 Liutyi drones, boasting an impressive 23-foot wingspan and the ability to carry a substantial 550-pound payload. However, the success of any mission hinges not just on these powerful machines, but also on the critical role played by the smaller, more rudimentary Rubaka kamikaze drones acting as decoys. “They’re very simple, and we can use them with and without payloads,” Vector explained, underlining their versatility. These unassuming drones serve a vital purpose: overwhelming Russian air defenses and drawing fire away from the main attack drones, greatly increasing the chances of a successful strike. https://dronexl.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/img_4008-1.jpg.webp The Art of War: Meticulous Mission Planning Each drone in the unit’s arsenal is programmed with a staggering array of over 1,000 unique waypoints, all carefully designed to evade Russia’s sophisticated and comprehensive air defense systems. The importance of this intricate planning cannot be overstated, as Vector emphatically noted, “Planning is maybe 60% part of the success, everything depends on the planning.” Despite the formidable challenges posed by Russian defenses, the unit remains undeterred. “We’re successful guys and we find the windows,” Vector added confidently. https://dronexl.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/img_4010-1.jpg.webp No Limits: Striking Deep Inside Russia The Long-Range UAV Unit’s track record speaks for itself, with several notable attacks showcasing their ability to penetrate deep into Russian territory. Past missions have included striking a key ammunition depot in the Tver region and crippling an oil refinery along Russia’s strategic Black Sea coast. However, the unit’s operations are not without challenges, as Russian air defenses have managed to thwart many of their attempts. The unit’s leadership believes that their success rate could skyrocket from 50% to an astonishing 95% if given the green light to employ Western weapons on Russian soil. https://dronexl.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/img_4014-1.jpg.webphttps://dronexl.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/img_4013-1.jpg.webp The Fog of War: Assessing Mission Success Assessing the success of each mission is a complex task, requiring the unit to rely on a combination of human intelligence, monitoring Russian Telegram channels, and meticulous analysis of satellite imagery. In the case of the high-stakes Kotluban strike, initial satellite images seemed to suggest little evidence of major explosions. However, the GUR provided CNN with access to a verified video that told a different story: a series of 11 massive explosions rocking the depot during the precise window when the drones were expected to arrive. Subsequent satellite images corroborated this evidence, confirming damage to the facility and indicating that the mission had indeed succeeded in eliminating the Iranian-supplied missiles. As Serge solemnly reflected, “We are constantly forcing the enemy to think about what they did in February 2022. They must realize that we are getting stronger every day and we are bringing our victory and their defeat closer.” DroneXL’s Take: The Future of Warfare The Long-Range UAV Unit’s groundbreaking operations serve as a powerful testament to the rapidly growing significance of drone technology in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare. As we’ve witnessed in recent conflicts around the globe, drones have emerged as a game-changing, cost-effective, and risk-reducing means of conducting long-range strikes and vital reconnaissance missions. The Ukrainian unit’s innovative use of decoy drones to overwhelm enemy air defenses is particularly noteworthy, demonstrating how tactical adaptations and creative thinking can dramatically impact the success of a mission. However, this article also serves to underscore the profound challenges that come with employing drones in heavily contested airspace, as evidenced by the unit’s sobering 50% success rate against Russian defenses. As Drone Technology continues to advance at a breakneck pace, it will be imperative for militaries worldwide to prioritize investment in cutting-edge counter-drone systems and to develop new, dynamic tactics to defend against these emerging threats. This eye-opening report raises crucial questions about the future of warfare and the role of attack drones in modern conflicts. What are your thoughts on this rapidly evolving landscape? Do you believe that the proliferation of drone technology will lead to a new era of warfare, or do you think that the challenges posed by advanced air defense systems will limit their effectiveness? Leave a comment below and join the discussion – we want to hear your perspective on this critical issue! https://dronexl.co/2024/10/16/inside-ukraines-top-secret-drone-unit-targeting-russia/ Interesting article. Thanks for posting. I have doubts that they have a 50% success rate, unless "success" is just making it to the target area. |

   At least 4 Shahed drones flew into Belarus last night, and at least 7 flew in transit At least 4 Russian kamikaze drones of the Shahed type flew into Belarus from Ukraine last night. The first of them flew through Kamaryn at 23:34, followed by the next one at 23:43 in the same location. It’s known that both these drones left the airspace of Belarus and flew towards Chernobyl at 23:48. Then two more Shahed drones entered Belarus at around 00:35 in the vicinity of Lubech and flew towards Prypiat – presumably also to Ukraine. Note that according to Flagshtok media, these drones could have passed westward through Belarus and flew into Ukraine near Kirau towards Ovruch. However, the Ukrainian Air Force reported that two UAVs left Ukrainian airspace and flew in the direction of Belarus. At the moment, it’s not clear which UAVs we are talking about – the ones that flew in at 00:35 or others. We also note that according to monitoring channels, at 19:28-20:50, at least 7 UAVs of unidentified type flew into Ukraine (Kyiv and Chernihiv regions) from the direction of Belarus. As of now, most likely these UAVs passed Belarus in transit and were launched from Bryansk region, Russia. In addition, last night, duty aviation of the Belarusian Air Force was recorded over Homiel region. A fighter took off from Baranavichy at around 00:45 and by 02:00 it had already returned back to the base.
