Drones upend Russia’s supply lines as convoys ride with gun-truck escorts

Ukraine’s middle-strike drones are targeting Russian supply convoys, forcing reroutes and prompting Russia to arm truck columns with mobile gun teams. The campaign has hammered logistics along routes like the M-14 toward Crimea, with hundreds of trucks struck daily and Moscow scrambling to replace them with aging stock. Whether gun-truck escorts and electronic warfare can curb the drone threat remains uncertain as drones fly higher and adapt, signaling an escalating counterlogistics war.

Navigating War and Trade: What International Law Says About the Strait of Hormuz

Peace-time transit through the Strait of Hormuz is a universal right as an international strait, but in armed conflict the San Remo Manual governs naval warfare: neutral ships may transit with due regard, belligerents must not target neutrals, and may search for contraband; convoys of merchant ships escorted by warships can be risky because cargo vessels may become targets if tied to belligerent ships, and a state's neutral status can shift if its actions pull it into the conflict (as with Australia’s stance potentially affecting its neutrality).

"Rescue Convoys Initiated for Stranded Travelers on Collapsed Highway 1 in Big Sur"

A slip-out beneath Highway 1 in Big Sur has led to the closure of the roadway, trapping around 2,000 tourists and locals, but convoys on Sunday allowed most to escape. The slip-out occurred just north of Bixby Bridge, prompting Caltrans to close the highway at Palo Colorado. Two convoys on Sunday facilitated travel, and additional convoys are scheduled for the coming days. The damage has garnered national attention, with Gov. Gavin Newsom and Congressman Jimmy Panetta expressing support for repair efforts.
