The GEOSTRATA

@TheGeostrata

One of the primary reasons #Azerbaijan emerged victorious during its conflict with #Armenia in 2020 was that the Turkish #Bayraktar drones completely dominated the technologically inferior Armenian defense forces.

1/n

The conflict portrayed the success and effectiveness of the #Turkish drone program and its combat capabilities.

Türkiye has been able to challenge industry behemoths like the #US and #Israel to capture market share in #drone exports.

2/n

Even in the #RussiaUkraine conflict, they were able to inflict considerable damage on #Russian forces.

They have striking precision capabilities and come with relatively lesser price tags compared to their US and Israeli alternatives.

The emergence of Morocco as a #drone power. With a range of airstrikes against suspected Polisario militants in occupied Western-Sahara, it is suspected that quite a few are carried out by armed #drones. A small thread with some new satellite imagery showing these drones🧵 1/X

Morocco has been operating Israeli Harfang #drones from the Dakhla airbase in occupied Western Sahara, that are visible on Google Earth imagery in 2021 as shown by @obretix It is unclear if these drones have been armed 2/x

4/1
The impact marine #drone, which was found near #Sevastopol, could be assembled from a jet ski - U.S. #Navy Institute

Analysis of photos of the device led researchers to believe that it was based on watercraft from the #Canadian company Sea-Doo.

4/2
The USNI speculates that the craft was propelled by water jets capable of speeds of up to 110 km/h. And the power plant was probably a Rotax gasoline engine.

The #detonators in the nose of the drone are similar to those used in the #Soviet FAB-500 aerial bomb.

.
The USNI compares the device to other examples of the use of maritime kamikaze drones. The essential difference is that until now various types of boats or motor boats were the basis of such weapons. The dimensions of such drones made it easier to detect them. On the other hand

🇫🇷 Table ronde ce matin à #BIG2022 sur l’Europe de la défense et du rôle du Fonds européen de #défense (FED) pour la BITD française.

Avec notamment la @DGA, @thalesgroup, @DelairTech et animé par @DefenseAngels.

Quelques éléments des échanges 👇

Pour Bastien Mancini (CEO de @DelairTech), le FED est une initiative à « bonne échelle » pour des PME « comme la nôtre ».

C’est « dur d’émerger ». Le marché du drones est « atomisé » en 🇫🇷 avec pas moins de 30 acteurs. Et il n’y pas les mêmes « mécanismes » que le FED. #BIG2022

Selon @DelairTech, le FED "n'est pas adapté" pour les startups. Il est nécessaire d'avoir un certain "niveau de maturité"

Il "nous amène beaucoup de visibilité à l'échelle européenne". Il joue aussi le rôle "d'accélérateur d'innovation". #BIG2022 #défense #industrie

NEW: Despite Widespread Mistrust, Minneapolis PD to Fly Surveillance Drones
Warrantless #surveillance takes flight — Over 2,200 police #drone flights in 2021 — only five in which warrants were sought ahead of time
unicornriot.ninja/2022/despite-w…

The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) “has decided to use drones”, explained a representative of the Department at a hearing on August 10th. This decision was sprung on Minneapolitans and their representatives at City Council without notice nor many options to object.

The proposed policy that could govern the use of drones by Minneapolis police is “porous”, according to Munira Mohamed of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Minnesota. “It gives police all the discretion.” unicornriot.ninja/2022/despite-w…
