US equips soldiers with advanced Danish anti-drone systems

Do you know how drones have become a real headache for militaries around the world right now? So the US Army decided to seriously upgrade the protection of its soldiers. They have signed a major contract with the Danish company MyDefence for the supply of wearable anti—drone systems - for as much as $ 26 million! This is not just another purchase of equipment, but a real breakthrough in how soldiers will defend themselves from drones in various parts of the world.

What kind of systems are these?

We are talking about modular, lightweight and user-friendly devices that soldiers can carry with them right on the battlefield. These gadgets will help detect and neutralize enemy drones, which are increasingly being used for reconnaissance and attacks. Imagine that every fighter will now have their own "anti—drone shield" - this will significantly increase the safety and effectiveness of operations.

Why is this important right now?

The threat of drones is growing every day. They are becoming more and more advanced, and the airspace is becoming more saturated and contested. In such circumstances, it is important to have flexible and mobile solutions that work in real time and can quickly respond to threats. That is why the United States relies on wearable systems — they give soldiers freedom of action and confidence in protection.

What does this mean for defense?

- Strengthening transatlantic ties: Cooperation with the Danish company shows that the allies are coming together to solve common problems.

- A new era in the fight against drones: mobile and efficient systems are becoming the standard in the arsenal of modern armies.

- Increased soldier safety: fewer risks and more opportunities for successful missions.

All in all, this is a great example of how technology makes war a little safer for those who wage it.

MHI and Yamaha have tested a 200×200 hybrid UAV: up to 200 km with 200 kg payload

 The Japanese defense and aerospace company Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), together with Yamaha Motor, has completed flight tests of a medium-sized hybrid unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of carrying a payload weighing 200 kg over a distance of up to 200 km. The test flight took place in mid-April 2025 at the MHI UAV Research Center and was an important step in the development of promising unmanned logistics platforms suitable for both civilian and military applications. The prototype of the UAV was first presented to the public at the Japan Drone 2025 exhibition, held at the Makuhari Messe Exhibition Center in Chiba from June 4-6, 2025.

Quiet drones for special forces are now able to launch even smaller drones, which greatly changes the rules of the game

 

Imagine a drone that flies almost silently, can stay in the sky for a long time, and at the same time launches its "assistants" — small drones. Does it sound like fiction? But no, such technology is being actively implemented now.

Ultra-quiet drones, which were previously used by intelligence agencies for reconnaissance and covert operations, are getting a new feature: they can now drop or launch mini-drones in flight. It generally opens up a lot of new possibilities. That is, the big drone does not climb into the danger zone itself — it remains in the shadows, and sends its little brother into battle.

Can you imagine how convenient that is? For example, if you need to get into a city full of enemies, or get into a hard-to-reach place. A baby drone flies inside, inspects everything, maybe even throws or passes something, and then returns back. And all this is done without unnecessary noise and risk to the main device.

Experts say that this is not just a fashion feature, but a real breakthrough. Such drones can change the tactics of warfare, make special operations even more accurate and safer. And, by the way, not only the military will take advantage of this advantage — such technologies will be useful to rescuers, environmentalists, and even cameramen.

In general, the future is already on the way, and it flies almost silently.
