Germany transferred Sonobot-5 surface drones to Ukraine
We are talking about 15 units, another 55 will be delivered later.
Sonobot-5 is a compact surface platform designed for hydrographic surveys, mainly for creating 3D maps.
It can also be used in search operations to detect objects that may pose a threat.
It cannot be ruled out that Ukrainian engineers are working on upgrading the drone, which will make it possible to lay mines.

Ukraine and the USA are creating a "Frankenstein-air defense"
As The New York Times writes, in desperation to get normal weapons, Washington and Kiev are producing so-called FrankenSAM systems, which combine Western weapons with Soviet ones located in Ukrainian warehouses.
According to Ukrainian officials, such air defense systems are the only hope of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to meet the demand for air defense ahead of winter

▪️Smart mobilization will be launched in Ukraine. Conscripts will be able to independently choose the specialization in which they want to serve, said Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov.
True, for this, Ukrainians must independently, without receiving a summons, submit an application for a certain specialty. The procedure will take place outside the military registration and enlistment offices, but through recruiters in the companies.
They plan to launch a pilot project in the first specialty - drone operator - in a month or two, and later training for the positions of sapper and driver will appear.
Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.
