Ukraine expands drone reach to 3,500 km, putting Siberia within strike range

Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) says its Liutyi deep‑strike drones can reach 1,500–1,700 km and the jet‑powered Peklo can reach 700–1,000 km, projecting an overall capability of up to 3,500 km that could put European Russia and as far east as Krasnoyarsk in Siberia within Kyiv’s strike envelope. The claim is a capability assertion, not yet demonstrated; the current confirmed long‑range record is about 1,750 km, and recent Russian missile alerts in the Urals frame the broader war context.

Ukraine launches largest Moscow drone strike with three homegrown models, including new Gladiator

Ukraine said it used three locally produced long-range drones—the FP-1 Firepoint, RS-1 Bars, and a newly disclosed Bars-SM Gladiator—to strike targets in the Moscow region, including a microchip facility and an oil pumping station, in its largest attack on the capital to date, with the Moscow mayor saying over 120 drones were involved; Kyiv framed the operation as proof of cheap, homemade drones’ effectiveness against Russia’s dense air defenses, while Russia reported shooting down many drones nationwide.

Germany Unveils Its First National Military Strategy Focused on Speed, Precision and Deep Strikes

Germany's defence minister Boris Pistorius unveiled the Bundeswehr's first national military strategy, shifting to capability-based planning with a focus on speed, air defence, long-range precision strikes, and greater use of AI. The plan calls for a significant expansion to 460,000 personnel (active plus reserves) and a more agile bureaucracy, with deep-strike assets like long-range missiles to hit targets behind front lines; many details remain secret and the strategy is described as a living document responsive to evolving threats and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Global Arms Race Intensifies as Nations Seek Advanced Military Technology

The US Army is seeking to develop a self-guided 155-mm shell, called Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM), that can target tanks and other vehicles even when GPS signals are jammed. The Army aims to enhance its artillery capabilities by investing in precision shells and long-range cannons. The C-DAEM shells will be autonomous, using on-board sensors to detect and home in on targets. This development comes in response to the increased use of artillery in conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, where long-range guided munitions have proven devastating. The US Army's goal is to keep pace with Chinese and Russian artillery systems and revitalize its long-neglected artillery.
