Vance blames all Hungary's economic problems on foreign interference (Brussels and Zelensky, not Orban's 16 year looting binge).





A Patriot missile costs four million dollars. A Ukrainian Sting interceptor drone costs two thousand. Both destroy the same Shahed kamikaze drone. One of them can be manufactured at a rate of 10,000 units per month. The other cannot. And the country that invented the cheap one is now training Saudi, Emirati, and Qatari operators to use it against the exact same Iranian drones it was designed to kill in Ukrainian skies. Ukraine spent three years learning how to destroy Shaheds. Not with expensive air defence systems designed for Cold War scenarios but with small, fast, AI-assisted quadcopters that chase them down at 280 to 450 kilometres per hour, lock on with thermal imaging and computer vision, and ram them out of the sky or detonate a proximity charge at close range. The Sting, built by a volunteer unit called Wild Hornets, has destroyed over 3,000 Shaheds since May 2025. The Bullet, produced by SkyFall and General Cherry, reaches 450 kilometres per hour with AI-assisted terminal guidance. The success rate in Kyiv’s high-threat corridor reached 70 to 90 percent in February 2026, according to Ukrainian Air Force Commander Syrskyi. The mechanism is elegant. Sensors detect an incoming Shahed. An interceptor launches. A pilot wearing FPV goggles tracks the target using thermal imaging while AI handles detection, lock-on, and terminal-phase precision. The interceptor closes the speed gap at double or triple the Shahed’s velocity and destroys it through kinetic impact or proximity detonation. The pilot retains final manual control for jamming resistance. The entire engagement costs less than dinner for two in Dubai. Now Zelensky has turned this battlefield necessity into a geopolitical asset. Under defence pacts signed in March 2026, Ukrainian training teams are actively working with Gulf state militaries on co-production, operator training, and AI guidance module integration. The same drones that protect Kyiv from Russian Shaheds will protect Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, and Doha from Iranian ones. The technology is identical because the threat is identical: Iran manufactures the Shahed, Russia deploys it against Ukraine, and Iran deploys it against the Gulf. The supply chain of the weapon created the supply chain of the countermeasure. A country fighting for its survival against Russia is simultaneously becoming the Gulf’s primary anti-drone technology supplier during a war between the Gulf and Iran. Ukraine is broke, surrounded, and losing territory. It is also the only country on earth with three years of operational data on destroying Iranian kamikaze drones at scale. That data is worth more to Saudi Arabia right now than any weapons system America can sell, because America has never fought a sustained Shahed campaign. Ukraine has fought one every night for a thousand consecutive nights. Zelensky offered Russia an energy ceasefire. He offered sea drones for Hormuz. And he is selling drone-killing technology to the countries whose oil infrastructure those same drones are threatening. Ukraine is converting its most painful vulnerability, the nightly Shahed bombardment, into a revenue stream, a diplomatic lever, and a security partnership that binds Gulf states to Kyiv’s survival in ways no UN resolution ever could. The molecule meets the machine. The drone that threatens the refinery is destroyed by the drone that learned to kill it over Kyiv. The war that created the threat created the countermeasure. And the country nobody expected to matter in the Gulf is suddenly indispensable to it. Watch the intercept below. This is what a $2,000 drone killing a Shahed at 300 km/h looks like in real time.

People usually pay $30–$50 for these on platforms like Etsy. I built @terrainkapp, an open-source map posters creator. I provide the same capability for free. TerraInk is a cartographic poster engine built on OpenStreetMap data. Linke: terraink.app #mapart #maps

Damn, they actually passed it? Unlicensed operation of 3D printers and CNCs is now a felony in Washington? I get that it's fashionable to hate manufacturing in some places but how many kids and FIRST robotics teams are going to end up with criminal records because of this?



3D PRINT YOUR OWN STENCILS I made a 3d printed solder stencil generator to see if it's feasible to make my own stencils for 10x less that it costs to get one from the fab. Enjoy my first public repo :) github.com/user-will/svg2…

why the fuck meta employees watching videos their users are taking
