Advancing Military Aircraft: Powering the Future of Aerial Defense In the evolving landscape of global defense, military aircraft remain a central pillar, providing unmatched capabilities in terms of surveillance, strike, and transport. From the early days of World War I biplanes to the advanced multi-role fighter jets of today, the history of military aviation is one of rapid innovation, necessitated by the increasing complexity of modern warfare. As nations continue to invest heavily in air dominance, the military aircraft sector is witnessing a transformative phase driven by technological breakthroughs, operational demands, and the increasing importance of unmanned systems. https://lnkd.in/g8zkFU2f #MilitaryAviation #DefenseTechnology #AerospaceInnovation #StealthTechnology #UnmannedAircraft #HypersonicWeapons

The U.S. Army and Marine Corps are advancing their defenses against unmanned aerial systems (UAS), with the Army exploring mobile weapons platforms for shooting down drones and the Marine Corps seeking technologies to protect installations from small drones. The Army's research focuses on vehicle-mounted systems with rapid-fire capabilities and integrated command-and-control solutions, targeting drones including kamikaze types. Meanwhile, the Marines aim to fill a capability gap with advanced detection, tracking, and engagement technologies, employing both kinetic and non-kinetic means. These efforts highlight the military's response to the evolving threats posed by UAS, as demonstrated in recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, emphasizing the importance of innovative defense mechanisms in modern warfare. #army #marinecorps #uas #counteruas #defense #technology #militaryinnovation #droneprotection #rapidfire #advanceddetection Source- https://lnkd.in/gmuSK3ue

YES! From War on the Rocks today, dispelling recent bizarre arguments that the USAF and air superiority have been rendered irrelevant by drones... The article puts a common sense approach to roles and missions, arguing we need BOTH air defense and air superiority. Dead on, and this should be obvious.... " Force protection of servicemembers in forward locations remains a high priority for commanders at all echelons, and the solution to the air and missile threat will require a multi-service effort that enables both air superiority and air defense as a holistic objective of joint air dominance." https://lnkd.in/eNJE7xTi

Russian forces capture 34 Ukrainian servicemen over week Russian forces captured 34 Ukrainian soldiers as prisoners-of-war over the past week, the ministry reported. "During the week, 34 Ukrainian servicemen were taken as captives at the engagement line, including 17 soldiers who surrendered in the Kursk frontline area," the ministry said. Russian air defenses destroy 353 Ukrainian UAVs, Neptune missile over week Russian air defense forces shot down 353 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and a Neptune long-range missile over the past week, the ministry reported. "Air defense capabilities shot down a Neptune long-range missile, 10 US-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles, 15 French-made Hammer and US-made JDAM guided aerial bombs, two rockets of the US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket system and 353 fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles," the ministry said. Overall, the Russian Armed Forces have destroyed 649 Ukrainian warplanes, 283 helicopters, 36,913 unmanned aerial vehicles, 586 surface-to-air missile systems, 19,562 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 1,497 multiple rocket launchers, 18,708 field artillery guns and mortars and 28,868 special military motor vehicles since the start of the special military operation, the ministry reported.

https://lnkd.in/dkykJ-ZX The Future of Warfare Is Electronic An audacious Ukrainian incursion into Russia shows why. Is the Pentagon paying enough attention? By Porter Smith and Nathan Mintz Sept. 4, 2024 12:35 pm ET The Ukrainian army has launched a stunning offensive into Kursk, Russia, under a shield of advanced electronic weapons. The war in Ukraine is demonstrating that 21st-century conflicts will be won or lost in the arena of electronic warfare. Think of electronic warfare as casting spells on an invisible battlefield. Combatants strive to preserve their own signals, while disrupting those of the enemy. In Kursk, the Ukrainians took advantage of their technical knowledge to achieve a leap in battlefield tactics. Using a variety of electronic sensing systems, they managed to figure out the key Russian radio frequencies along the invasion route. They jammed these frequencies, creating a series of electronic bubbles that kept enemy drones away from Ukrainian forces, allowing reconnaissance units, tanks and mechanized infantry to breach the Russian border mostly undetected. This is the chaotic way of modern combat: a choreography of lightweight, unmanned systems driven by a spiderweb of electronic signals.

Russian troops strike power facilities of Ukraine’s military-industrial sector over day Russian troops struck power facilities of Ukraine’s military-industrial sector and military airfields over the past day, the ministry reported. "Operational/tactical aircraft, attack unmanned aerial vehicles, missile troops and artillery of the Russian groups of forces struck power facilities of Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises, infrastructure of military airfields and amassed enemy manpower and military equipment in 142 areas," the ministry said. Russian air defenses destroy 40 Ukrainian UAVs over past day Russian air defense forces shot down 40 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over the past day, the ministry reported. "Air defense capabilities shot down 40 fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles, including four UAVs outside the area of the special military operation," the ministry said. Overall, the Russian Armed Forces have destroyed 649 Ukrainian warplanes, 283 helicopters, 37,122 unmanned aerial vehicles, 586 surface-to-air missile systems, 19,600 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 1,497 multiple rocket launchers, 18,897 field artillery guns and mortars and 28,957 special military motor vehicles since the start of the special military operation, the ministry reported.
