Priority 1. UAVs, counter-UAV, military AI and space
🔴 [upd] The campaign of jet-powered "Gerans" against Kyiv — August results and a terminological shift in the West
Russian strikes on Ukraine continued for the sixth day in a row with an emphasis on the jet-powered "Geran-4/5" modifications. According to "Oko Gora"'s count, in August 4838 UAVs of the Shahed/"Geran"/"Gerbera" family were launched at Ukraine, of which 80.92% were shot down/suppressed — the percentage fell from 90% (June) to 81% precisely because of the jet-powered versions, which are harder to intercept. According to HUR, Russia's production plans include 2.8 thousand conventional and 3 thousand jet-powered drones source. Western media increasingly replace the term "Shahed" with "Geran": the share of headlines with Geran grew from 0% (2022-23) to 25% in January-August 2026 — a recognition that the jet-powered "Geran-3" and its successors share only the airframe shape with their Iranian ancestor, not the engine and speed (300-600 km/h versus 150-185) source.
🔴 [upd] Lancet with the IRRA system — a strike on an IRIS-T at 196 km from a naval platform
A ZALA "Lancet" crew of the 50th "Varyag" Brigade claimed hitting an IRIS-T SLM SAM system in Odesa region from a record distance of almost 200 km. A key detail noticed by specialist channels: the launch was carried out directly from the waters of the Black Sea — probably from a BK-16 boat, and flight over such a distance was provided by signal relaying source. This confirms that Russian medium-range kamikaze drones are gaining the ability to operate at 150-200 km, like the enemy's RAM-2X and Hornet analogs; the key limitation for Russia is stable control at such a range, which Starlink provides for Ukraine.
🔴 [upd] Russian combat laser — detailed specifications of the second generation
A technical analysis has appeared of the laser systems deployed in the southwestern direction. Based on the dimensions of the power units and turrets, the use of solid-state fiber lasers with a power of 20-50 kW is estimated, sufficient for thermal degradation of composites and aluminum at distances of 1.5-5 km (against the "Liutyi" and FPV drones). Target designation is provided by an X/Ku-band all-round surveillance small radar on a tower. The second generation (in preparation for testing) is claimed to be capable of functionally blinding the seekers of tactical missiles and damaging aircraft skin source. Kornev, an expert at "Novy Oboronny Zakaz", notes the limit: such lasers are not designed against cruise/ballistic missiles and shells source.
🔴 UBB-M ("NIK" company, Russia) — a new mortar-launched interceptor drone
For the first time, data have been disclosed on the "Guided Loitering Munition" (UBB-M) interceptor developed by the "Scientific Engineering Company" (which previously cooperated with Boeing). Folding wings, mortar launch from a container, mass 15-16 kg (warhead 3 kg), time aloft ~10 min, speed up to 300 km/h, range 20 km, altitudes 20-4500 m source.
🔴 SwarmOS + Underdog swarm systems — architecture details
A coalition of NORDA Dynamics (Ukraine/Estonia) and Palladyne AI (US) presented a stack for autonomous UAV groups: SwarmOS handles distributed control of the "swarm" (coordination, target allocation, data exchange without constant communication with the operator during the patrol phase), while the Underdog module provides autonomous follow-up reconnaissance and terminal attack under GPS jamming — using machine vision and inertial navigation. A "human in the loop" is retained for the engagement decision source.
🔴 Pentagon: deployment of Grok and ChatGPT on GenAI.mil — a political split among frontier labs
On the Pentagon's closed generative AI portal GenAI.mil (IL5 clearance level, work with controlled unclassified information), Grok for Government (Starshield AI/xAI) and ChatGPT Mil (OpenAI) were launched simultaneously — alongside Gemini, which has been running since December. In 9 months the platform has gained over 1.7 million users out of 3+ million personnel. The absence of Claude is telling: Anthropic refused to lift restrictions on use in weapons and intelligence, the Pentagon declared the company a "supply chain risk", and a court ruled this an unlawful retaliation. OpenAI drew three red lines (no mass surveillance, autonomous weapons, or intelligence work without a separate agreement), while xAI draws no boundaries and openly sells "combat" wording source. The Pentagon's stated goal is to "eliminate lock-in to a single vendor".
🔴 The "Slukhach" system (Russia) — acoustic interception of drones on 40 microphones
A test bench of an acoustic detection system was shown: a dome with 40 microphones forms streams that are combined on a hub board; a digital filter cuts off wind noise, an algorithm based on the time difference of sound arrival builds a 360° heat map of the sky, determines the drone's azimuth and altitude, then sums the signals of all microphones into a narrow acoustic beam on the target source.
🔴 [upd] Russian UAVs firing protective nets against interceptor drones
A new technique has been recorded: Russian reconnaissance UAVs ("Supercam", KVO) have begun firing protective nets toward Ukrainian interceptor drones approaching from the rear hemisphere. Ukrainian sources (Serhii "Flash") confirm that the enemy "is not standing still", while "Voenny Osvedomitel" quips about the imminent appearance of full-fledged turrets like on World War II aircraft source, source.
🔴 "SOKOL-08" radar (Russia) — launch of production of a mobile radar with AI
Series production has begun of a compact radar (2D X-band AESA) for detecting low-observable and low-flying targets down to the size of a bird. Machine learning algorithms filter out false targets; the station holds up to 100 objects simultaneously and synchronously tracks a target and an interceptor drone. Mass ≤28 kg, consumption 350 W, power 220/24 V, operating range −40…+60 °C, built-in GNSS receiver and inclinometer source. External assessment (topwar): detailed specifications on range and jamming resistance are not available in open sources, which makes an objective assessment difficult.
🔴 CRPA TUALAJ 16300 on the Ukrainian UJ-08 "Skyline-300"
The use of the Turkish TUALAJ 16300 GNSS anti-jamming system on the UJ-08 strike UAV has been confirmed. It has been clarified that it is precisely the basic version that is installed (a flat DACU unit 170×100×28 mm, 760 g + a Ø250 mm disc antenna), not the single-unit "D". The DACU has 16 receive channels, inter-channel calibration, and digital forming of up to 15 nulls in the antenna pattern source. [TECH] in the post — a full comparison of form factors and processing architecture.
🔴 Antidrone: intercepting jet-powered "Shaheds" with MANPADS
Ukraine is actively adapting MANPADS to the jet-powered "Gerans": a soldier of the 38th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment engages a jet-powered "Shahed" with MANPADS — according to Ukrainian data, this is currently one of the working ways to deal with the "jet problem" source. In parallel, HUR reports four potential interceptor drones against jet-powered "Shaheds".
Military space and space-based data
🔴 [upd] Failure of the "Rassvet-3" constellation (Bureau 1440) — confirmed by both monitoring systems
None of the 16 satellites of the second "Rassvet" batch launched on July 19 had reached the operational orbit by August 31 — most remain at 300-390 km, 6 spacecraft at 290-340 km are already losing altitude, and at least two are heading toward atmospheric reentry. Of the first batch (March), 13 of 16 reached orbits above 500 km (1 lost, 2 stuck at 350-360 km). The declared operational altitude of 800 km has probably been adjusted to 500 km (the Starlink level) source. Round-the-clock coverage of Ukraine requires 200-300 working spacecraft — at the current pace and failure rate the goal is unattainable in the near term. Russia's three constraints: low satellite quality, a shortage of launch vehicles, and the vulnerability of production and launch sites to strikes source.
🔴 US: Trump is creating a Space Academy for Space Force officers
The creation of a separate Space Academy to train Space Force officers has been announced (currently ~10 thousand service members, the service was created in 2019) source. In parallel, the UK renamed Air Command to Air and Space Command, keeping UK Space Command under it.
🔴 Gravitics Orbital Carrier — a Lockheed Martin subcontract for Golden Dome space-based missile defense
Gravitics received an order from Lockheed Martin for three flight-ready Orbital Carrier vehicles — a large orbital platform (a "garage in space") for 5-6 small spacecraft/sensors/interceptors, released as needed without waiting for a launch from Earth. SEC documents explicitly state the purpose: rapid response and counterspace operations in near-Earth and cislunar orbits. Lockheed is one of 12 companies that received agreements for prototypes of orbital interceptors (20 agreements in total, worth up to $3.2 billion). Separately, the Viper OTX maneuvering tug is being developed; demonstration flights — 2027-2028 source.
🔴 [upd] Restoring data access: Starshield for US military aviation
The Space Force is expanding its Starshield Custom Fleet Aviation Services subscription for aircraft with Starshield Tile and Tile Mini terminals — speeds of at least 500 Mbit/s download and 100 Mbit/s upload worldwide, a contract through July 2028. ~$51.9 million has already been spent on developing ruggedized Tile Mini terminals; 11 government organizations took part in development in 2024-2025. Groups of 140, 90 and 140 aircraft terminals have been disclosed [source](https://t.me/stratdela/2798].
🌐 External analysis adds on the "Tsirkon": Ukraine's HUR published a detailed analysis of the 3M22 missile, identifying 70 enterprises, 84 people and American components (a Qorvo amplifier, an Altera/Intel FPGA). The key conclusion, complementing the Russian-Ukrainian picture: physical data from debris and patent analysis indicate that the "Tsirkon" is not a hypersonic cruise missile with a ramjet engine but a quasi-ballistic two-stage solid-fuel missile (no traces of an air intake, elements of a second-stage solid-propellant rocket motor were found), with a fixed speed of ~Mach 6.8 instead of the claimed 9. This casts doubt on the official Russian classification source.
Priority 2. Military innovation (Ukraine, Europe, NATO)
🟠 Voltaic Marine AEU39 — details of the air defense system on a USV
Voltaic Marine together with Moog Space and Defense completed sea trials of an air defense system based on the AEU39 surface drone: length 11.9 m, speed up to 41 km/h, range 9300 km (up to 5000 nautical miles), payload up to 1.8 t, a 300 kWh battery + solar panels (weeks in standby mode). The RIwP turret with a 30-mm cannon, Stinger MANPADS and APKWS II is hidden in the bow compartment under hinged armor and extends when a target is detected source.
🟠 [upd] US: a series of moves to boost surface-to-air missile production — framework contracts for Patriot and THAAD
The Pentagon has concluded seven-year framework agreements with Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics to triple PAC-3 MSE production (from ~600 to 2000 per year) and quadruple THAAD (from 96 to 400 per year). The reason is depleted stocks: according to CSIS, the conflict with Iran and deliveries to Ukraine have consumed ~65% of US Patriot stocks and 38% of THAAD. Boeing will triple output of seekers for the PAC-3 source. Financing depends on annual decisions by Congress.
🟠 UK: a foot-launched military powered paraglider (Blakcro)
The UK MoD, with ~£6 million in funding, presented the first military shoulder-borne powered paraglider: assembly in less than 8 minutes, range up to 322 km, launch using only leg power and the engine, folds into a backpack-sized case, low acoustic/visual/radar signature. Three variants: foot launch (P-Series), tricycle undercarriage (T-Series), uncrewed platform (U-Series). The technology is already used in combat conditions; trials by the Royal Marines are planned source.
🟠 Anduril Altius-700 — a "hunter-killer pack" from a Black Hawk
During the Project Convergence exercise, an H-60M Black Hawk crew practiced launching Altius-700M strike drones (warhead 15 kg, range up to 160 km) as an autonomous group: the drones themselves detected targets, exchanged data and distributed engagements. These UAVs have been used by Ukraine since March 2025, but in autumn 2025 their use was suspended due to vulnerability to EW source.
🟠 Poland + Ukraine: PGZ and UGVs — joint production of ground robotic systems
The state-owned group Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa plans a JV with a Ukrainian UGV manufacturer under the "Build with Ukraine"/"Build for Ukraine" model. A non-disclosure agreement was signed in August; the next step is a cooperation agreement. Ukrainian companies are interested in capacity in Poland because of Russian strikes source. In parallel: Ukraine's Tencore + Finland's Insta are creating a JV for the TerMIT 2.0 UGV (first batch of 320 systems), and UUT + Denmark's Vidar a JV in Denmark for the "Ulitka" UGV.
🟠 Ukraine: Deadliner Q15-30 (Stellarion) has passed MoD codification
The Deadliner Q15-30 fiber-optic FPV drone has been codified by Ukraine's MoD and is available via Brave1 Market and DOT-Chain: range up to 30 km, payload up to 3 kg, flight ≥30 min, speed up to 110 km/h. The Deadliner series claims mission effectiveness of >70% (full unwinding of the fiber-optic spool as the success criterion) source.
🟠 Ukraine: Ratel R1 — a reconnaissance copter on Starlink Mini
Ratel Robotics presented the Ratel R1 reconnaissance copter: range up to 30 km, speed up to 75 km/h, flight up to 45 min, takeoff weight 18 kg, a stabilized ViewPro A40 Pro camera. Control and data transmission go via Starlink Mini, navigation is on a CUAV 3 Pro module with GPS for resilience in a difficult EW environment source.
🟠 Berkeley Humanoid Lite — an open walking robot for $2000
UC Berkeley engineers have made public the drawings, STL models and neural network firmware of a humanoid: instead of harmonic reducers — traction electric motors from e-scooters and 3D-printed assemblies; the walking neural network is trained in MuJoCo in 4 hours. Lowering the entry threshold to walking robotics by two orders of magnitude (from ~$150 thousand to $2 thousand) source.
🟠 US: the US Army has authorized up to 20 nuclear microreactors at bases (Janus program)
The US Army approved the placement of up to 20 nuclear microreactors at military bases in the continental part of the country (total value of agreements up to $2.2 billion, the first reactor by September 2028). A dual goal — autonomous power supply and development of the national nuclear industrial base source.
🟠 Ukraine: Mykhailo Fedorov is creating a private defense-tech company with Palantir
Former defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov is launching his own defense company; the first key investor will be Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir source. Details later.
🟠 Sweden: the first Strv 123A has arrived at a training unit
Sweden has received the first example of the upgraded Strv 123A MBT. By 2031, 110 Strv 122s will be upgraded to this standard; an additional 44 new Leopard 2A8s (Strv 123B) have been purchased source.
Priority 3. Conflict developments and forecast signals
🔴 The key signal of the day — Zelensky's threat to Russian civil aviation. Zelensky effectively announced a campaign to "close" the sky over Russia with drones: he warned all airlines and insurers that Russian airspace "is becoming completely dangerous" source. According to "Voenny Osvedomitel", this is a revival of Fedorov's plan (M&M's) — to launch up to 1000 autonomous AI drones a night at Moscow airports in order to force Putin into negotiations through the discomfort of the elites. Implementation is likely in the form of regular small launches that provoke airport closures and losses, but at the cost of reduced effectiveness of the main strike campaign. Budanov predicts strikes on Kyiv before the parliamentary elections in Russia (September 18-20). Putin called the threat "a bid for state terrorism" and announced that the Russian Armed Forces had been instructed to carry out massive strikes on Ukraine's energy sector.
🔴 Diplomatic deadlock. Siluanov's visit to the G20 and his meeting with Bessent came to nothing: the US made it firmly clear that lifting sanctions and any agreements are impossible until the war ends source. Sources on CIA Director Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow on August 25: he brought a "grim assessment" of Russia's position and a call for the earliest possible peace, after which Putin canceled a personal meeting.
🔴 Front dynamics. According to ShrikeNews, in August Russia took ~5 km² (including the declassified section); in summer 2026 — ~130 km² of Donetsk region versus ~1200 km² in summer 2025 — a sharp slowdown. Reorganization of the Donbas defense: two groupings under Biletskyi (the Lyman direction, the Kramatorsk-Kostiantynivka agglomeration) and Prokopenko (the Dobropillia sector).
🔴 Sabotage in Europe. Germany officially accused Russia of the drone attack on Leipzig airport (August 4, the target was a Ukrainian An-124), and is closing the Russian House in Berlin and the consulate in Bonn. In Brandenburg, unknown persons fired homemade rockets at a substation near the "Jänschwalde" power plant. In Poland, two fires at defense plants in a single day (WB Electronics — maker of FlyEye/Warmate; JFG Composites); arson and the work of a foreign intelligence service are being investigated.
What to watch
- The term "Geran" is displacing "Shahed" in the West — not cosmetics, but recognition of a technological gap: the jet-powered versions (300-600 km/h) require fundamentally different air defense, and the old mobile fire group tactics are ineffective. For the second month Ukraine has been announcing interceptors against jet-powered "Shaheds", but so far there is no result — only MANPADS and expensive surface-to-air missiles work.
- A "Lancet" from a naval platform at 196 km — Russian medium-range kamikaze drones are gaining the ability to strike at 150-200 km from USV carriers thanks to relaying. The key limitation is control at such a range, which intensifies the struggle for access to satellite communications over Russia.
- The failure of "Rassvet-3" has been confirmed — both Bureau 1440 batches failed to reach the operational orbit, and some are losing altitude. Russian satellite internet for the front is being delayed, which is critical given Russia's dependence on controlling long-range drones.
- The Pentagon divides frontier AI by politics, not by benchmarks — Grok/ChatGPT on GenAI.mil with Claude excluded for refusing to lift restrictions on weapons. Defense is becoming the main solvent market for AI labs; corporations will soon copy the multi-model portal scheme.
- Depletion of Western surface-to-air missiles — according to CSIS, the war with Iran and deliveries to Ukraine have eaten up ~65% of US Patriot stocks and 38% of THAAD. Framework contracts to triple/quadruple production have been launched but depend on Congress. The EU is looking for missiles from Greece, Spain (expired PAC-2s), and South Korea.

Under the radar
• [TECH] Controlling drones via mobile internet "whitelists" — a detailed analysis of a design flaw: the filter looks at the packet's address, not its content, and large services live in clouds with shared subnets. It is impossible to distinguish legitimate encrypted traffic from drone control within the minutes of a flyover; the only solution is a complete shutdown of mobile internet in the flight zone based on acoustics/radar source.
• [TECH] The BEASTFPV F722 flight controller — an analysis of the "receiver → flight controller → ESC → motors" chain and the role of the gyroscope/PID controller in stabilizing an FPV drone; educational material for understanding vulnerabilities via the video channel source.
• [TECH] "Aerokon" (Tatarstan) has patented a high-speed interceptor drone in a missile-like configuration, comparable to the Iranian "Product 359": a small turbojet up to 1000 km/h, ceiling >9 km, radius up to 150 km, autonomous machine-vision guidance in the terminal phase source. The external assessment (topwar) is cautious: the silhouette of a prototype does not yet prove it works.
• [TECH] The "Alissum" UAV detector (KVADRO KOD) correctly classifies new 5G signals (4630-4990 MHz band) that coincide with FPV/digital Ascent/Autel frequencies — tested in areas of already deployed 5G networks in Russia source.
• arXiv: a multi-agent LLM system for designing digital electronics through intermediate representations (an architectural sketch + an operational specification) instead of direct Verilog generation — it solved 149/156 Verilog-Eval tasks and all 7 complex projects (from a beamformer to RISC-V) with GPT-5, whereas ROME did not complete a single one source.
What are the Chinese comrades up to?
🔴 The first launch of a PL-15E air-to-air missile from the Chinese Gongji-11 (GJ-11) loyal-wingman UAV — firing range 200 km, footage online for the first time source. Evidence of a transition to combat use of low-observable wingman drones paired with crewed aviation.
🔴 Laser weapons on Type 08/ZBL-08 wheeled IFVs and upgraded Type 19/ZBL-19s (PLA) — multilevel integration from rangefinders to anti-drone mounts. Separate mobile systems OW5 (10-50 kW) and LW-30 (~30 kW) on 6×6/8×8 chassis, engagement range ~4 km, detection up to ~20 km. The bet is on low cost per shot against swarms source. Russian engineers estimate the real power of the laser on the Type 08 at ~10 kW (effective range 700-1000 m) and note that collective use of weak lasers by a group of vehicles may give a qualitatively higher result.
🔴 PLA Army Aviation is practicing a maritime theater near the Taiwan Strait — Zhi-10 (Z-10) attack helicopters operate continuously day and night, covertly approach the coast over the sea at extremely low altitudes, and engage targets from a hover and on the move. The suppression of forward island defense lines before the main forces arrive is being honed to automaticity source.
🔴 First launch of the reusable "Zhishenxing-1" (Pallas-1) launch vehicle of the private Galactic Energy — length 52 m, liftoff mass 283 t, payload 5-7 t to LEO, rated for 25 reuses, a cluster of 7 CQ-50 engines (if one fails, the mission continues on 6). For serving the market of low-orbit satellite constellations source.
🔴 The first-ever refueling of a Western fighter by a Chinese tanker — a PLA Air Force Y-20U refueled an Egyptian Rafale during the "Eagles of Civilization 2026" exercise. China moved J-16s, KJ-500 AEW aircraft and EW aircraft to Egypt source.
🔴 The US (Reuters) accused COSCO of using concealed equipment on ships to intercept the military communications of ships and aircraft in Europe, North America and Asia — "sophisticated intelligence collection platforms" for data on military communications and encryption technologies. The PRC embassy rejected the accusations as groundless source.
External analysis
• India as a space power with limitations (GIS Reports): the country has integrated space into military operations (Operation "Sindoor", May 2025 — reconnaissance/navigation/communications combined with strike and cyber capabilities), conducted an ASAT test (2019) and its first military space exercise (Antariksha Abhyas, November 2024). But Chinese pressure on the Line of Actual Control and in the Indian Ocean plus the risk of crises with Pakistan threaten to leave India technologically advanced but strategically fragmented — long-term space programs will be postponed in favor of urgent needs source.
• The US destroyed Iranian launchers with rocket-delivered sea mines before launch (The War Zone): on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, launchers preparing to use mines delivered by Fajr-5-based rockets (range up to 75 km) were hit — a "fire-and-forget" weapon that mines shipping lanes from the shore. Had the mines reached the water, mine clearance would have taken weeks and paralyzed the last energy corridor out of the Persian Gulf. Iran responded with 8 ballistic missiles against a Jordanian air base — all were intercepted source.
• Overland AI: why a foundation model is not enough for military robotics (The Drone Ultimatum podcast): general-purpose AI models do not solve ground autonomy tasks — controlling real vehicles requires specialized low-level solutions. The system (from a 2021 DARPA program) is tailored for off-road driving using a combination of cameras and lidar, unlike civilian autopilots that get lost outside road infrastructure. Success is determined by a deep engineering understanding of the specifics, not by the scale of a general model source.
• Japan is building the ASEV cruiser-class missile defense ship (The War Zone): two ships ~189 m long, with a displacement of 12 000 t, an AN/SPY-7(V)1 radar (5 times more powerful than SPY-1 in target tracking), 128 Mk 41 cells for SM-3 Block IIA and SM-6. The first was laid down in Nagasaki in July 2025, commissioning 2027-2029. In addition — counter-drone, anti-ship functions and Tomahawk. The Russian-Ukrainian picture mentioned ASEV briefly; the external analysis indicates that the real dimensions of the AESA arrays may exceed the declared ones source.
• 3D printing of composites with embedded wiring for UAVs (IE Military): Continuous Composites received a US Navy contract (SBIR Phase II) for CF3D technology — laying copper and fiber-optic conductors directly into a drone's composite structure during printing, with minimal loss of strength. Abandoning traditional wiring in favor of multifunctional structural elements reduces weight and simplifies maintenance source.
• The resignation of US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll (DefenseScoop): he resigned amid a conflict with Secretary of Defense Hegseth (including over the removal of Army Chief of Staff George). If the resignation is accepted, the US Army will lose its Senate-confirmed civilian leader in the midst of fighting with Iran. Driscoll promoted technological transformation — drone and C-UAS markets, the "Operation Jailbreak" systems integration project source.
