2024-04-13 Tens of Thousands of Drones from China and Iran Flood into Ukraine Recent reports by The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post reveal a significant shift in the landscape of military technology, showcasing how major nations like China and Iran are shaping the warfare tactics in Eastern Europe.
China has emerged as a crucial player, reportedly supplying tens of thousands of drones to Ukraine. These drones, mainly purchased from SZ DJI Technology and other suppliers, play a pivotal role in Ukraine’s strategy to counter Russian forces. This is reported by Moscow Times.
Conversely, Iran has been instrumental in bolstering Russia’s drone capabilities, selling thousands of UAVs for bombardment missions over Ukrainian cities.
Additionally, plans are underway to produce another 6,000 drones under Iranian license in Russia’s special economic zone “Alabuga,” further complicating the aerial dynamics of the conflict. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/tens-of-thousands-of-drones-from-china-and-iran-flood-into-ukraine/ar-BB1ly2ut?
2021-05-20 Drones add little to rocket-filled Israel-Palestine skies, but represent growing global threat Beneath the ongoing collision of Israel’s cutting-edge and costly missile defense systems and imprecise but inexpensive Palestinian-built rockets, Hamas has begun using so-called “kamikaze drones” to try penetrating Israeli defenses another way. The Israeli government has claimed that its Iron Dome rocket defense system is effectively blocking most incoming rockets that pose a threat to Israel’s cities. Hamas has launched more than 3,000 rockets from Gaza since May 10, but Israeli officials claim most have either been intercepted by Iron Dome’s missile interceptors or did not reach significant targets (landing in unpopulated areas or failing in flight). https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/drones-add-little-to-rocket-filled-israel-palestine-skies-but-represent-growing-global-threat/#post-heading
