Sooner or later, books fly the nest to live their own lives, outside the authors' control. Mine has now reached that point. If you see it, please grab it, read it, and judge it for yourself. harpercollins.com/products/the-s…

An Iranian-backed militia successfully used a (likely fiber optic) FPV drone to carry out a reconnaissance mission through the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad yesterday. Seen here, the drone flies unchallenged through the embassy complex for nearly two minutes.

Ukraine’s navy defeated NATO forces in every scenario during a naval exercise off Portugal – FAZ. Leading the “enemy” side, Ukrainian teams used Magura V7 sea drones to simulate attacks on convoys and ports and even “sink” a NATO frigate before its crew detected the drones. 1/

Since September 2025, the Embassy of Ukraine in the United Kingdom, together with the British investment company HANetf, has been working on the creation of a special investment fund dedicated to the reconstruction of Ukraine – Ukraine Reconstruction ETF. And today, this fund has been officially launched on one of the world's largest stock exchanges.

Ukrainian SkyFall's Shrike 10 Fiber drone scored 99.3 out of 100 to win the Pentagon's Drone Dominance program first phase. The $1.1B program plans to buy 30,000 drones worth $150M. Another Ukrainian drone, Ukrainian Defence Drones, placed sixth.

Strange that the US did not consult Ukraine, whose army knows how to counter attacks from thousands of cheap drones, before starting a war in the Middle East From @shustry and Nancy Youssef theatlantic.com/national-secur…

Learning the hard way the failure to learn from Ukraine and Ukrainians. As I wrote in the WSJ two days before this war started, rapid battlefield innovation surpasses the old weapons giants. The downside is that Russia and its partner China are learning almost as quickly.

So here's that Ukrainian drone interceptor that the Gulf states are now lining up to buy. I visited the factory that makes them last month, and wrote all about it in the piece below. "The problem with supply is solved," the inventor told me. He presented the weapon at arms fairs in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi last month, a few weeks before Iran turned it into the hottest item on the market. Gift link below.
