Here's a brief piece on drone warfare between rebels and the junta in Myanmar, and its strategic implications: www.orfonline.org/expert-speak...

Some Myanmar resistance fighters claim the Myanmar military junta is using small drones to release explosives that may contain banned and restricted chemical weapons:

Myanmar's junta reportedly attacked a clinic in the Sagaing region with a "six-propeller" drone on July 10th, killing 1 health care worker and 5 wounded combatants who had been moved there after an earlier attack. myanmar-now.org/en/news/myan...

Myanmar's military junta appears to be adopting consumer-type drones of its own, reportedly mostly Chinese drones intended for agricultural spraying - myanmar-now.org/en/news/myan...

I think @littleflyingrobots.bsky.social has long since been all over this kind of thing.

A Florida man who shot down a sheriff’s drone has been sentenced to four years in prison.

“The situation at the Rafah crossing adds another layer of complexity and despair. The exorbitant fees demanded by those controlling the crossing—$5,000 USD per adult and $2,500 USD per child—are a stark reminder of the barriers that still stand between our family and safety.”

From @samzaq.bsky.social : “Despite our efforts, the Government of Canada's cap on applications has severely limited our ability to bring our entire family to safety. Out of 36 names submitted, we've only received 18 special codes necessary for the Temporary Resident Visa program applications.”

New update on my friend Ossama‘s GoFundMe, which will help his family escape Gaza for safety in Canada. Canada continues to limit visas for people escaping conflict zones, and officials at the Rafah border are price-gouging desperate people. Every donation helps immensely.

And here’s a great Telegram channel set up by my friend @benborges.xyz using my Telegram follow list that grabs drone related conflict posts, translates them, and stores them: t.me/dronesxplorer

Here’s a doc compiling many drone user interface screenshots that @konraditurbe.dev and I will keep adding to: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I just saw @littleflyingrobots.bsky.social quoted on another site. No ALF's there.

Trying to dig into recent rumors about Russia developing FPV "kamikaze" drones equipped with some kind of AI/computer-vision powered automatic targeting. The recent outburst of attention appears to date from this 1/6/24 Telegram post from Ukrainian source Serhii_Flash. t.me/serhii_flash...

Unclear if these people in Mexico were all killed with cartel drones dropping small explosives (which seems somewhat unlikely, albeit possible) or if drones were used in advance of gunmen. Broke 1/5/24. apnews.com/article/mexi...

CNN video on the Guerro cartel drone attack: www.cnn.com/videos/spani...

Another piece on the Guerrero attack - does sound like drones dropping small explosives were used for shock and awe then followed by gunmen. elpais.com/mexico/2024-...

I asked for assistance in identifying drone parts and equipment posted by a Russian Telegram channel - this is a result. x.com/sambendett/s...

A reminder that in 2024, armed groups don’t NEED assistance from other powerful state entities to cause damage/mayhem with small drones: civilian and DIY drone tech and online tutorials can get them there.

oh my god, look at how awful the new Twitter media search interface is
