Today, Hezbollah released a video of an FPV drone attack on the Israeli Iron Dome system near the border with Lebanon.
The IDF has struggled to respond to the FPV drone threat, which uses special cables and manual operation of the drone to outwit the IDF’s advanced technologies for jamming and tracking drones, reported The Jerusalem Post.
Israeli military units operating in southern Lebanon have begun equipping vehicles with improvised anti-FPV drone protection systems, mirroring battlefield innovations widely used by Ukrainian forces against Russian drone attacks.

Six F-16 fighter pilots were presented with the Distinguished Flying Cross last week for their role in Operation Midnight Hammer, last year’s strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities
Gen.Adrian Spain, head of Air Combat Command, presented the honors — the highest award for valor during flight — on May 5, although the Air Force did not announce the awards until Friday, May 8. The pilots were part of a massive force of 125 planes that took part in the June 21-22 strikes on three Iranian facilities.
The retirement ceremony is the easy part. The flag is folded, the speeches are kind, the family takes pictures, and the Air Force band plays a song that gets every fist in the room in the air for one last “GIVE ‘EM THE GUN!” Then you go home. And on Monday morning, for the first time in your adult life, nobody is waiting for you at 0600.
Russian developers appear to be testing a specialized blinding ammunition for shotguns, designed specifically to neutralize the optics of FPV drones at close range, according to a video recently circulating online.
According to the footage, the munition deploys a highly adhesive red compound upon firing. This payload rapidly creates a cloud of fine particulate matter that adheres to the drone’s camera lens. The substance then quickly hardens, rendering the optics completely opaque and blinding the drone operator.

In late April it was confirmed that an Iranian Air Force F-5E third generation fighter had successfully conducted a bombing run against Camp Buehring in Kuwait, penetrating multi-layered U.S. and U.S.-supplied Kuwaiti air defences, and raising serious questions regarding the limitations of these defences. Subsequently in early May it was confirmed that the F-5’s heavier and longer ranged counterpart in the Iranian Air Force, the similarly obsolete F-4E, had been used to launch a successful penetration strike over Saudi Arabia.
The South Korean KF-21 Boramae fighter has received final combat suitability approval from the country’s defence ministry, clearing it for operational deployment as it is poised to replace the F-5 and F-16 as the new backbone of the country’s combat fleet. The approval process required the Defense Acquisition Program Administration to submit evaluation results to the Defense Ministry, and followed more than a decade of development and flight testing covering more than 13,000 conditions.
