**Expansion of Standardized Armed UAV Ammunition  Produced by Ukrainian Forces** Since late 2023, in response to evolving battlefield needs, Ukrainian defense industries and private companies have focused on expanding and enhancing the wide range of standardized ammunition specifically tailored for deployment from armed UAVs, produced in the country since the onset of the Russian invasion in 2022. This recent wave of the initiative has led to the creation of an ever-growing variety of models, all aimed at facilitating their use on the battlefield and enhancing performance.

** The Development of Weapons in the Manipur Ethnic Conflict, India ** n the passing month, there has been a step-up in the progression and use of more advanced weapons in the conflict between the Meiteis and the Kukis in India’s Manipur region. Two armed UAV attacks targeting Meitei residential areas were documented for the first time on September 1 and 2, 2024. In addition, two improvised rocket attacks targeting residential areas were documented on September 6, 2024 – one in the early morning and the other in the afternoon. Civilian casualties were reported from both the armed UAV and improvised rocket attacks. Get the full report: https://lnkd.in/dGUAhpvF

** Military Officers and Public Figures Targeted for Assassination, Russia ** Since the inception of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, there have been increased reports of assassinations and attempted assassinations of Russian political and military officials. These operations remain mostly unclaimed and are a part of the covert war and clandestine operations between Russia and Ukraine. Evidence from these incidents indicates the use of explosives and IEDs. The tactics employed included the use of RCIEDs, mostly as part of an ambush, as well as the use of sticky IEDs intended to be attached to the targets’ vehicles.

Between August 25 and 26, 2024, the Baloch Liberation Army conducted “Operation Herof,” which consisted of 44 different attacks carried out in the span of 20 hours. This carefully coordinated operation incorporated several tactics, employed simultaneously, which enabled the BLA to successfully attack 40 different locations across 13 districts of Balochistan. Throughout the operation, multiple infrastructures in the region were either destroyed or blockaded for hours on end. Moreover, some 130 Pakistani soldiers were killed and 55 more were injured, making “Herof” the deadliest attack conducted by the BLA in recent times. Get the full report: https://lnkd.in/dUbVKscW

** Attempted Revival of VBIED Attacks in the West Bank ** During the past month, two unusual VBIED incidents occurred in the West Bank, in Israel. One was a synchronized VBIED attack on August 30, 2024, targeting Gush Etzion and Carmei Tzur, whose full realization was prevented. The other was a foiled VBIED attack near Ateret, in Binyamin, on September 2, 2024. These two incidents are part of an attempt by Palestinian terrorist organizations, guided and supported by Iran, to reignite the West Bank and regain its reputation as a base for launching deadly attacks inside Israel, and ultimately making the West Bank a central arena in the current war.

** Improvised Mines Attached to FPV Drones Used to Lay Mines on Roads by Russian Forces ** In late August 2024, a Ukrainian Telegram channel published documentation of improvised mines attached to FPV racing drones, claiming the drones are used to lay the improvised mines by Russian forces. The improvised mines attached to FPV drones were fitted with anti-tank mine fuzes, posing a significant threat to vehicles and personnel along the targeted roads. This tactic aims to rapidly deny vehicle access to the area by installing mines from a distance. However, because these improvised mines are not buried in the ground or properly camouflaged, they are easier to detect. Get the full report: https://lnkd.in/dKgr4sXC

** Improvised Incendiary Bomblets for Armed UAVs, Ukraine and Russia ** With the onset of summer and hot weather, both the Russian and the Ukrainian armies increased their use of improvised incendiary devices, primarily delivered from armed UAVs. The improvised incendiary bomblets used are mainly plastic bottles filled with different types of incendiary mixtures, with a hand grenade fuze serving as the initiation system.

** Ghaem-5 Bombs Carried by Fixed-Wing UAVs, Sudan ** Since the beginning of 2024, several appearances of Iranian Ghaem-5 glide bombs have been documented in Sudan. These join numerous incidents in which the Mohajer-6 UAV, which is also produced by and sourced from Iran, was documented amid the ongoing civil war in the African country. Along with other types of UAV platforms, these incidents establish the trend of the introduction of fixed-wing UAVs to the Sudanese arena. Get the full report: https://lnkd.in/dF7UZGCJ

** Large-Scale Drone Swarm Attack Thwarted, Al-Fashir, Sudan ** On September 8, 2024, Sudanese Armed Forces soldiers and their allies were targeted with an attack by a large swarm of small drones deployed as improvised loitering munitions in Al-Fashir, capital of North Darfur, Sudan. A large number of reconnaissance UAVs were also deployed in the attack. The improvised loitering munitions carried an improvised payload that has not been documented before. While armed UAV and loitering munition attacks have become a common TTP in the course of the Sudanese Civil War, an attack involving a swarm of small drones deployed as loitering munitions has not been documented to date, which makes this attack distinctive, marking an additional escalation in the Sudanese arena.
