<p>"How dare you allow the drones to reach Moscow?" stated Wagner mercenary group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin.</p>
<p>Prigozhin&mdash;a former convict, former hot-dog stand operator, restauranteur, and entrepreneur who founded and leads one of Russia's private mercenary militias&mdash;blamed the success of the Moscow drone attack on the "scum and swine" top brass who reside in the affluent suburb of Rublyovka.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wagner is active in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and Prigozhin has repeatedly criticized the "out of touch" military and political elite for Russian battlefield failures.</p>
<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin&mdash;whose home in Novo-Ogaryovo is near Rublyovka&mdash;blamed Ukraine for what he characterized as "terrorist attacks" that targeted civilians as a scare tactic. Kyiv has denied involvement.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The U.S. stated it is gathering information on the strike, which injured two people and damaged property. The White House also stated it does not support attacks by Ukraine that are inside Russia.</p>
<p>That did not sit well...</p>
<p>&ldquo;What are these attempts to hide behind the phrase that they are &lsquo;gathering information&rsquo;?&rdquo; stated Russian ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov. &ldquo;This is an encouragement for Ukrainian terrorists."</p>
<p>Antonov did not commit on his own country's military attacks on Ukrainian civilians and other non-combatants.</p>

Blame Game: Russian Military Takes Heat for Moscow Drone attacks

Military

<p>Russia has claimed that Ukraine targeted President Vladimir Putin in a drone attack on the Kremlin. Ukraine has denied any involvement in the attack. NBC's Richard Engel reports.&nbsp;</p>

Video of drone attack on Kremlin

<p><span style="color: #ba372a;"><em>1 March 2023</em></span></p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s kind of a paradox that our &lsquo;unmanned&rsquo; formations are larger than our manned formations,&rsquo;&rdquo; said U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Michael McCurry.</p>
<p>McCurry&mdash;who leads the Army's aviation school at Fort Rucker, Alabama&mdash;is concerned that so much human labor is required to keep drones flying, especially as the service is not meeting its recruitment goals and more and more soldiers are retiring.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We have Apache helicopter companies that are just over 30 people, and we have Grey Eagle drone companies that are 135 people or more," said McCurry. "How do we make better use of the 135 people in &lsquo;unmanned&rsquo; formations?&rdquo;</p>
<p>It's not only an issue of people resources being deployed efficiently. McCurry also worries that big units make big targets during combat. A large drone company brings more people, for sure, but it also devours more fuel supplies that need to be delivered by more vehicles, more cargo aircraft, radio operators at ground stations (typically two soldiers per drone), and the radio transmissions required for deploying the drones and moving all of the soldiers and materials around can be easily tracked by enemies. Furthermore, the Army's long-range Grey Eagle drone&mdash;as well as some shorter-range drones&mdash;require runways for taking off and landing. Oh, and we haven't factored in the teams of people who analyze the hours of data the drones collect.</p>
<p>So much for the Army's doctrine that its tech-warfare should be undertaken by small, fast-moving, and dispersed formations.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, the Army is looking at AI to interpret drone data, as well as developing nimbler drones that can take off and land vertically&mdash;negating the necessity for runways and large, manned support units.</p>
<p>However, a service think tank estimates that the 123 tasks typically performed by air cavalry squadron can't be accomplished autonomously today. "Probably not in 2040, either," says McCurry.</p>
<p>Proper training is also an issue, as often commanders aren't given the time to learn how to use the gear.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;There is never a time where you can stop and just modernize," says Maj. Gen. William Taylor, director of the aviation section on the Army&rsquo;s Pentagon headquarters staff. "Our requirement to continually train pilots, crew chiefs, and flight engineers remains. Because we have soldiers that have great initiative and have this great desire to learn, they overcome some of our failures at the staff level.&rdquo;</p>

Army: Unmanned Drones Taking Too Much Manpower?

<p class="Paragraph-sc-1tqpf5s-0 kEzXdV body-paragraph body-paragraph"><span style="color: #34495e;">The United States Air Force is looking into the feasibility of autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) as uncrewed wingmen to protect fighter pilots in the future.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="Paragraph-sc-1tqpf5s-0 kEzXdV body-paragraph body-paragraph"><span style="color: #34495e;">Current research is based on the best methold to control CCAs&mdash;from other crewed aircraft nearby, a battle center, or from the cockpit of the fighter&mdash;and the costs involved for implementation, technology, and maintenance. CCAs are being considered to team up with the USAF's Next Generation Air Dominance fighters and the F-35, with missions to include reconnaissance, target strikes, and jamming enemy electronic warfare tactics.</span></p>

<div id="google_ads_iframe_114235265/DefenseNews/air/in-article_1__container__"><span style="color: #34495e;">The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies published a paper in October 2022 that urged the Air Force to quickly develop and refine how human pilots can interact with drones. The Air Force is also thinking about the potential support needed to operate and maintain squads of drone wingmen. Of course, the cost factor looks good for the drones, as they cost less than a jet fighter and do not require a crew.</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span style="color: #34495e;">In addition, Air Force Sec. Frank Kendall has stated CCA aircraft must be reuseable, and not tremendously expensive if they <em>are</em> lost in combat&mdash;such as if drones are sent on "suicide" missions where they are not expected to return to base.</span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span style="color: #34495e;">&ldquo;We&rsquo;re really headed down that path,&rdquo; says USAF Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown. &ldquo;I think you&rsquo;ll see, as we start looking at our future budgets and the analysis we&rsquo;re doing that we are committed to more uncrewed capability.&rdquo;</span></div>

Russian "Drone Destroyers" Strike Out at Ukraine

<p class="Paragraph-sc-1tqpf5s-0 kEzXdV body-paragraph body-paragraph"><span style="color: #ba372a;"><em>12 January 2023</em></span></p>
<p class="Paragraph-sc-1tqpf5s-0 kEzXdV body-paragraph body-paragraph"><span style="color: #ba372a;"><strong>Task Force 99</strong></span>&mdash;a new unit of volunteer U.S. Air Force airmen based at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar&mdash;is seeking defensive strategies against weaponized quadcopter threats in the Middle East.</p>

<div id="google_ads_iframe_114235265/AirForceTimes/your-air-force/in-article_0__container__">&ldquo;The ability to protect local populations and our bases against small unmanned aerial systems is very important,&rdquo; team commander Lt. Col. Erin Brilla told the <a href="https://www.airforcetimes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #ba372a;"><strong><em>Air Force Times</em>.</strong></span></a> team&rsquo;s commander. &ldquo;How can we turn that narrative around and impose dilemmas in the other direction?&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>One of the plans is to deploy consumer drones for military missions.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Lightweight UAVs are definitely less sophisticated and powerful than the Air Force's MQ-9 Reaper and RQ-4 Global Hawk drones, but off-the-shelf models are easy to find, inexpensive, and rather simple to customize and pilot. In addition, unlike the military's cutting-edge combat drones, consumer quadcopters require minimal upkeep, are small enough to be carried anywhere, and can be quickly replaced if lost, damaged, or shot down.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Most importantly, they can be deadly to an enemy.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Properly outfitted, these former toys can jam radio frequencies, undertake photo-surveillance missions, drop bombs, or sacrifice themselves to take down an enemy jet or drone.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Throughout 2023, Task Force 99 will fuse small drones and low-tech devices to gain advantages on a battlefield.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;The biggest takeaway is how cheap these store-bought UASs are," says group intelligence chief Capt. Raymond Revell. "You can employ a number of them for very low cost, and they&rsquo;re attritable, so you don&rsquo;t really care if you lose them or not. If you do lose them, whatever capability that your adversary has used to take down that drone likely was slightly more expensive than you fielding that drone in the first place.&rdquo;</div>
