https://www.uasvision.com/2023/05/03/uk ... of-drones/Drones Help Ukraine do More Damage with Fewer Rounds than Russia... So Russia is likely firing something between four and nine times as many shells as Ukraine. And yet, Russia has suffered much higher casualties... Much of this can be accounted for by the fact that Russia’s campaign has largely been on the offensive, while Ukraine has largely been on the defensive... But, the solution to this paradox lies in the different ways that the two armies use their artillery. While Russia has stuck mainly to Soviet doctrine of massed area fires, Ukraine uses artillery fire as a long-range sniper weapon to pick off individual targets. This has been made possible with the widespread use of two innovations: small drones for artillery spotting, coupled with cheap tablet computers running software like Nettle system to direct fire [y Kropiva, Army-SOS tablets].

Both the company’s AQ-400 and the AQV-150 Scalpel Heavy drones are expected to be tested and showcased in late May at an unknown location. Founded eight-months ago by two veterans of the British and Australian militaries and a Ukrainian engineer, One Way Aerospace has made rapid leaps in widening the set of platforms it markets to customers.
“The AQ-400 will begin development for turbine power and low-level terrain following type flight control, which will take us one step closer to the affordable cruise missile goal: 1000 kilometers, at a speed of 350 km/h for less than $100,000”
Earl said in an interview, adding that when combined, the AQ-400 and AQV-150 could form a disposable multi-strike system. The goal is to eventually be able to hit 10 targets at 150 kilometers from the launch site.

https://www.uasvision.com/2023/04/26/te ... maker-dji/Japan Records Higher UAV Presence in 2022 Air Interceptions. The Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) conducted 778 scrambles in FY 2022. This is 22.5% less than the 1,004 scrambles conducted by the JASDF in FY 2021. Despite the lower number of scrambles, the JASDF intercepted a greater number of aircraft, which it describes as “anomalous”. In FY 2022, the JASDF intercepted an estimated 384 such “anomalous” aircraft. These include carrier-based aircraft, strategic bombers, and electronic warfare or intelligence aircraft. In FY 2021, despite conducting 226 more scrambles, JASDF aircraft intercepted between 90 and 120 aircraft falling under the “anomalous” description. Many JASDF scrambles in FY 2022 were because of Chinese and Russian intelligence gathering aircraft, the Japan MoD said.
