“An Israeli anti-drone system has appeared in the combat airspace of Ukraine — the Israeli publication Debka with reference to military sources in Ukraine. According to the publication, the Ukrainian army has finished installing the advanced Israeli interception system
“Smartshooter” on light aircraft and drones with the expectation of its use against Iranian “kamikaze drones”. As previously reported, according to the Israeli publication “Times of Israel”, some Israeli company sold systems for intercepting military drones to Poland.
At the same time, according to the publication, the Ministry of Defense of Israel knew that the end user of the anti-drone system would be Ukraine, but decided not to interfere. Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Israel’s Ministry of Defense issued export licenses to
Israeli manufacturing companies that wanted to sell drone defense systems to Ukraine. But when the war started, the licenses were suspended. ** “Smartshooter”, or “Smash”, is a high-tech individual fire control system using radars, capable of recognizing, tracking and engaging
aerial (UAV) and ground targets with unparalleled accuracy. The system works on the principle of “one shot - one hit”, it is controlled by artificial intelligence. The developers of “Smartshooter” pride themselves on the fact that it accurately hits targets, and there is no
Situation when it would not hit the target. The Israeli development was first shown this year at a military exhibition in Paris, after which it was successfully tested in Hebron in September.”

“Abandoned Russian base holds secrets of retreat in Ukraine”
“The Russian soldiers had fled weeks before. But they left their traces everywhere.
Concrete steps led into the basement of their hastily abandoned headquarters in this small riverside town in eastern Ukraine. A bunker smelling of damp lay behind a steel door marked “Command Group.” Papers, some charred, were stuffed into a furnace. Others were scattered across the floor.
In a floral notebook, an unnamed staff officer left a sketch of a cartoon soldier and mused about going home. The book’s 91 handwritten pages contained other information, too: coordinates of Russian intelligence units, records of calls from commanders, details of battles, men killed and equipment destroyed. And accounts of a breakdown in morale and discipline.
In all, the bunker yielded thousands of pages of documents. Reuters reviewed more than a thousand of them. They detail the inner workings of the Russian military and shed new light on events leading up to one of President Vladimir Putin’s most stinging battlefield defeats: Russia’s chaotic retreat from Ukraine’s northeast in September.
In the weeks before that defeat, Russian forces were struggling with surveillance and electronic warfare. They were using off-the-shelf drones flown by barely trained soldiers. Their equipment for jamming Ukrainian communications was often out of action. By the end of August, the documents show, the force was depleted, hit by death, desertions and combat stress. Two units – accounting for about a sixth of the total force – were operating at 20% of their full strength.”
Good news!!
