Ukraine rolls out drone-stopping razor fence to thwart attacks | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new type of barrier developed in Ukraine defends against fibre-guided attack drones by literally cutting their communications. Radio-frequency jamming stops most small drones. In response, drone designers have begun using fibre-optic cable instead of radio to communicate with the crafts. The fibre-optic cable unspools as the drone flies. Russia produced very few of these drones in 2024, and each could only reach a few kilometres. But 20-kilometre-range versions are now common, with 50-km ones
Robots clash in first naval engagement between uncrewed sea drones | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the first-known naval engagement between uncrewed vessels, a Ukrainian robot boat sank a Russian opponent in the Black Sea. The action between the remote-controlled uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), or sea drones, took place earlier this month. A video released by the Ukrainian Navy shows its USV, identified as a Sargan-3000, firing a 12.7-millimetre heavy machine gun at the Russian vessel, which appears to be of the Orcan type, until it sinks. Both sea drones are propelled by water jets. The
Why a Ukrainian cruise missile is flying with hobby drone hardware | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ukraine has developed a cheap cruise missile guided by an open-source autopilot system typically found in consumer drones. The use of hobby components highlights the shrinking gap between military and consumer electronics, which may make it easier for small countries and non-state actors to develop powerful high-tech weapons. With foreign long-range weapons hard to come by, Ukraine has had to develop its own. Fire Point, a Ukrainian company, showed off its FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile at the Eur
