Modern warfare increasingly involves skies crowded with drones, making traditional movement and defense far more dangerous.

The Telegraph reports that growing insecurity within the Kremlin has left Vladimir Putin increasingly obsessed with the possibility of an internal coup, as Russia’s leadership seeks to identify and suppress perceived enemies. The FSB’s recent accusations against members of the Russian Antiwar Committee are described as part of this heightened paranoia, while analysts suggest the government is trying to discredit opposition forces and blame the West to distract from domestic instability. Former U.S. Ambassador John Herbst argues that Putin is looking for threats to reinforce his weakening regime, which is facing economic difficulties and heavy reliance on China, a vulnerability that could allow Xi Jinping to end the war and severely damage Russia’s economy. The article notes that the Wagner mutiny in 2023 exposed the fragility of Putin’s power structure and served as an early warning of the regime’s current turmoil. #hm #hmintelligence
