#Drones

A Russian Shahed factory in the Alabuga Special Economic Zone in Tatarstan has been recruiting young women from dozens of low-income countries with promises of high salaries, education, and career opportunities—without disclosing that many would end up assembling drones later used in strikes on Ukraine.

The Royal Navy has quietly tested a giant uncrewed submarine dubbed “Excalibur,” successfully operating it from more than 10,000 miles away in what could mark a turning point for undersea warfare. The submarine’s name nods to British naval tradition, referencing both King Arthur’s legendary sword and a Cold War-era submarine of the same name—a blend of heritage and innovation.
