#Russia‘s Federal Security Service ( #FSB) claimed to have thwarted a massive, unprecedented artificial intelligence-guided  #DronePlot targeting deep-inside defense plants and military airfields

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) announced it disrupted a series of sophisticated, multi-stage Ukrainian drone operations targeting defense plants and strategic military airfields located thousands of kilometers deep inside Russian territory. The intelligence agency claimed the seized first-person view (FPV) drones utilized advanced artificial intelligence (AI) navigation systems designed to bypass Russian electronic warfare jamming. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The operation reveals a highly complex smuggling and logistics infrastructure spanning multiple Russian regions.
🎯 Key Targets & Locations
According to official reports published by state media and verified international outlets like Reuters and The Moscow Times, the coordinated plots targeted three main strategic sectors: [2, 4]

Shagol Air Base: Located in the Chelyabinsk region within the Ural Mountains.
Ukrainka Air Base: Located in the Amur region of the Russian Far East, which hosts strategic bombers.
Moscow Region Defense Plant: A high-priority, strategic military enterprise located just outside the capital.
Rostov Central Military Airfield: A major logistics hub bordering Ukraine where a separate 13-drone plot was reportedly intercepted. [2, 4, 5, 6, 7]

🛠️ Logistics and “Mother Ship” Smuggling Tactics
The FSB detailed a highly innovative delivery mechanism where fixed-wing “mother” drones and balloons were used to drop payload containers into the western Bryansk border region. From there, ground agents loaded the AI-guided drones into vehicle trailers equipped with false bottoms, masking the military hardware beneath household appliances and Spanish ceramic tiles to cross the continent undetected. [4, 5, 8]
For the Moscow defense plant plot, 35 FPV drones were smuggled into a local warehouse and were configured to be launched remotely by operators located outside the country. [6, 8]
⚙️ Technological Sophistication
Russian counterintelligence highlighted several advanced technical aspects of the thwarted weapon systems:

AI-Guided Navigation: The drones relied on localized AI control units to navigate autonomously, allowing them to hit specific coordinates even if their GPS or operator communications were completely severed by Russian electronic jamming. [1, 2]
Western Component Integration: The FSB claimed the drones were assembled in Kyiv but integrated components manufactured in the United States, Britain, Canada, and Sweden, including Canadian-made electronic warfare-resistant control systems. [2, 8]
Explosive Payloads: Each compact FPV drone carried more than 1 kilogram of high explosives (TNT equivalent) intended to compromise runways, hangars, and localized infrastructure. [2, 7]

📉 Echoes of the “Spider’s Web”
Security analysts note that these intercepted operations heavily mirror a highly damaging 2025 Ukrainian operation codenamed “Spider’s Web”. In that previous campaign, Ukrainian operatives successfully used trucks disguised as wooden sheds with retractable roofs to move drones close to remote Russian military installations, ultimately destroying or damaging up to 20 military aircraft deep inside the country. [2, 4, 9]
The FSB confirmed multiple arrests of both Russian citizens and foreign operatives during the raids, including an armed shootout near Moscow that resulted in the death of one suspect. Ukraine has not independently verified or officially commented on the FSB’s specific counterintelligence claims. [1, 4, 6]

В ПРЯМОМ ЭФИРЕ: Трамп проводит круглый стол с руководителями оборонной промышленности США


В обсуждении участвуют руководители Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, Blackstone, SpaceX и представители администрации США.

ПРЯМОЙ ЭФИР

Президент США Дональд Трамп принимает участие в круглом столе Пенсильванского саммита по обороне и инновациям, который проходит в Военном колледже армии США в Карлайле, штат Пенсильвания.

Официальная трансляция Белого дома уже началась. На экране был представлен состав участников круглого стола, в который вошли представители администрации президента, вооружённых сил, крупнейших оборонных корпораций, инвестиционных компаний, энергетического сектора и американских профсоюзов.

Кто участвует в круглом столе

Согласно списку, показанному в официальной трансляции Белого дома, в обсуждении принимают участие:

  • Дональд Дж. Трамп — президент Соединённых Штатов;
  • Дэйв Маккормик — сенатор США от Пенсильвании;
  • Пит Хегсет — министр войны США;
  • Дэн Дрисколл — министр армии США;
  • Дина Пауэлл Маккормик;
  • Дэнни Дип — президент General Dynamics;
  • Майк Коултер — генеральный директор Hanwha Defense USA;
  • Джон Грей — президент Blackstone;
  • Шон Макгарви — президент North America’s Building Trades Unions;
  • Келли Ортберг — президент и генеральный директор Boeing;
  • Джим Тайклет — президент и генеральный директор Lockheed Martin;
  • Кэти Уорден — председатель совета директоров и генеральный директор Northrop Grumman;
  • Антонио Грасиас — основатель и генеральный директор Valor Equity Partners, член совета директоров SpaceX;
  • Тоби Райс — генеральный директор энергетической компании EQT Corporation;
  • Томас Талл — сопредседатель TWG Global.

На опубликованном кадре нижняя часть списка обрезана, поэтому здесь указаны только участники, имена которых полностью видны на экране.

Не только оружие, но и вся промышленная система

Состав участников показывает, что обсуждение касается не только военных операций или увеличения оборонного бюджета. За одним столом собрались руководители компаний, производящих самолёты, ракеты, военные корабли и другие оборонные системы, а также представители энергетики, строительства, частного капитала и передовых технологий.

Главная тема саммита — восстановление и расширение американской оборонно-промышленной базы. Участники обсуждают, как ускорить производство вооружений, вернуть важнейшие производственные цепочки в Соединённые Штаты, внедрить искусственный интеллект и роботизированные системы и подготовить необходимое количество квалифицированных американских работников.

В официальной программе саммита также заявлены дискуссии об изменении характера современной войны, критически важных минералах, производственных возможностях США, искусственном интеллекте, национальной безопасности и реиндустриализации оборонного сектора.

Почему саммит проходит в Пенсильвании

Пенсильвания исторически играла важную роль в американской оборонной промышленности — от судостроения в Филадельфии и производства боеприпасов до металлургии, высокоточного машиностроения, робототехники и современных исследовательских центров.

Организаторы саммита представляют штат как одну из главных площадок для восстановления американского производства и создания новых оборонных предприятий. В центре обсуждения находится вопрос о том, сможет ли Америка не только разрабатывать передовые технологии, но и массово производить необходимые военные системы на собственной территории.

Участие президента Трампа и руководителей крупнейших оборонных компаний превращает встречу в одно из наиболее заметных событий года, связанных с американской промышленностью, национальной безопасностью и технологической конкуренцией.

Материал будет обновляться по мере появления официальных заявлений и полной стенограммы выступления президента.

Queens City Council member sued by boyfriend of Brooklyn murder victim for social media posts that allegedly sparked online harassment


Queens City Council Member Vickie Paladino is in another legal battle over statements she made.

A New York City activist is suing the right-wing firebrand, claiming the elected official baselessly claimed she chose not to call the police when her boyfriend was murdered in 2023 because doing so would not have aligned with the activist’s left-wing politics.

Claudia Morales alleged that Paladino instigated an army of her online supporters to harass her — causing her extreme anxiety and to fear for her safety — after the council member reposted a tweet Morales made last year in support of now-Mayor Zohran Mamdani on the campaign trail. Paladino’s repost came with a message suggesting Morales didn’t call for help when her partner, Ryan Carson, was stabbed, instead allowing him to bleed out in front of her eyes because “the murderer was nonwhite and her politics dictate the police are the real evil.”

Morales said that’s “false in every respect”: She says she immediately called the police and, until they arrived, “desperately” tried to administer first aid to Carson.

“[Morales], herself a victim of this violent crime, immediately called 911 [and] attempted to render first aid to Ryan as he lay dying,” says the suit filed late on Tuesday in Manhattan Supreme Court. “Vickie Paladino made these statements with knowledge of their falsity and/or reckless disregard for the same, and did so to inflict harm upon [Morales] and to punish [Morales] for her exercise of protected speech and association.”

Paladino’s office did not respond to a request for comment on the defamation suit.

Legal action against and an investigation into Paladino over these statements have been floated before. Last year, Morales called for an investigation into the council member and filed a cease-and-desist letter regarding the online harassment.

Queens lawmaker’s history of controversial statements

It’s also not the first time Paladino’s online statements have landed her in hot water.

In 2022, she received backlash for saying drag queens should not be allowed in schools. She has been condemned repeatedly for calling for Mamdani’s deportation, and tweeting that there should be an “expulsion of Muslims from Western nations.”

Earlier this year, she was charged with disorderly conduct by the City Council, whom she then sued, over Islamophobic posts that claimed “New York is under foreign occupation,” and asked if there was “a single American” in Mamdani’s administration in reference to the mayor appointing pro-Palestine activist Faiza Ali to head the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs. Faiza was born in Brooklyn and is a U.S. citizen.

Paladino and the City Council eventually agreed to settle the lawsuit on the condition that the lawmaker delete the offensive posts.

In this case, Paladino’s post also suggests Morales, whom she referred to as a “DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) activist,” intentionally impeded the criminal investigation into finding the man who shot Carson because she wanted to “ensure the murderer walked free,” which Morales also says is untrue. 

“[Morales] fully and truthfully cooperated with law enforcement at all stages, including upon that individual’s identification,” the suit says. “[Her] cooperation was central to the prosecution of Ryan’s homicide and the ultimate conviction of the person responsible.”

Screenshot of Paladino’s initial tweet, which Morales is suing over defamation claims.

Morales said Paladino’s statements “incited a wave of vile harassment, hatred, ridicule, and threats” against her, including “brigading of online accounts against [her], the posting of hateful and violent imagery and content targeting [her], sexually explicit and violent messages directed at [her], and a variety of other extremely disturbing content.”

Morales said she was left with chest pains, a racing heart, difficulty sleeping, decreased ability to be productive at work, PTSD, depression and extreme anxiety, including over “being targeted by an elected official” for harassment and about leaving her apartment as a result of the “sustained harassment campaign” built on false statements against her.

To make matters worse, the activist said, Paladino “doubled down” on allegedly defaming her after she was told Morales had cooperated with the police through the investigation, her suit claims, refusing to retract or correct her statements, then using her office to intimidate her.  

“In defense of her reprehensible and defamatory statements, [Paladino] stated that [Morales] ‘made herself a public figure,’ that [Morales] ‘is a DSA celebrity,’ and that ‘if she’s going to politicize the murder of her boyfriend, then the street goes both ways,’” the suit reads.  

Morales said she declined professional and political opportunities, including an invitation to run for office, because she was scared of continued threats, further harm, and additional retaliation against her by Paladino.

Morales is seeking punitive monetary damages and court orders preventing Paladino from making further defamatory statements against her online.
