A collection of videos coming out of the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Looks like the situation there is likely deteriorating rapidly. #hm #hmintelligence

A rare ground level view of the Chonhar crossing between occupied Crimea and mainland Ukraine shows heavy damage to the original bridge and the makeshift Russian alternatives. After Ukrainian strikes on June 7 and 9, 2026, Russian forces began building a large earthen causeway beside the damaged bridge. The footage shows vehicles using this new route, damaged concrete supports and spans, and destroyed parts of the nearby pontoon crossing. The original bridge is still not in full service, with traffic sent onto the "temporary" route. #hm #hmintelligence

Another version of a vehicle mounted CUAS system. While this version appears effective while stationary, would be interesting to see how it goes while moving. #hm #hm

The US Air Force has taken delivery of its first two combat drones designed to fly alongside fighter jets. Anduril's Fury arrived at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada last month and General Atomics' Vengeance landed last week, with both going to an experimental unit that will work out how airmen actually fight with them. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said, "Putting CCA in the hands of Airmen is how we build the operational future of this program." Testing at Creech centres on small teams launching the drones from rough, scattered airstrips rather than large permanent bases. #hm #hmintelligence

A Russian female is just hanging out as her county burns behind her. The Lukoil oil refinery in Perm, around 1,500 km from the Ukrainian front line, was hit overnight in another long-range drone attack. One of Russia's largest refineries, it can process 13.1 million tonnes of oil a year. Multiple large fires are burning across the site, with huge columns of smoke rising over the facility and spreading across the city. Ukraine's long-range strikes on Russia's oil-processing infrastructure continue. #hm #hmintelligence

Syria's Interior Ministry has graduated its first all women police class, with about 150 officers finishing six months of training at the new Women's Police Institute in al-Tal. More than 15,000 women had applied. The ceremony included drill, weapons demonstrations and an oath, and was attended by senior ministers and diplomats. The graduates will be deployed across ministry units nationwide, working in community policing, women's cases and other roles. #hm #hmintelligence

The absolute state of these abandoned Russian positions 🫠 #hm #hmintelligence

A pretty odd video of a Russian decoy position with a dummy soldier placed in it. Decoy positions are very common and widely used, and dummy Russian soldiers have appeared now and then throughout the war, but they still do not seem to be nearly as widespread. #hm #hmintelligence

A builder in Yemen is going viral for his unorthodox building equipment 😂 #hm #hmintelligence

The future of naval warfare? Footage of two TB3 drones taking off from the Turkish drone carrier Anadolu. #hmintelligence #hm

China's J-36 sixth-generation fighter was seen on daylight test flights again today. It is a large, tailless, three-engine stealth aircraft, around 22 metres long and over 50 tonnes, with up to five prototypes now flying and visible design differences between them. Recent developments include a structural mock-up shown on September 15 and a roughly 100 kW airborne laser system displayed alongside J-36 imagery at a Beijing expo. #hm #hmintelligence

I think this is something we will see more and more with drones becoming so effective against tactical level units. Turkish companies led by Turaç, working with Istanbul Technical University, have built a counter-drone system called Dron Kalkanı, a mobile robotic tower fitted with two 12-gauge Derya MAX shotguns along with passive electro-optical and acoustic sensors. The developers say it can spot aerial targets on its own from 600 to 800 metres away and hit them at around 150 metres, using Sterling cartridges that spread metal projectiles. They plan to start mass production by the end of the year. Btvt reports that the system can move between positions but can only fire while standing still, and notes that its ability to deal with several drones one after another while moving has not yet been shown.
