The world must maintain unity in confronting the “Axis of Evil” – Embassy of Ukraine in Israel on the death of 21-year-old Mykhailo Tyukin, a repatriate from Ukraine and an IDF soldier

The death of 21-year-old Mikhail Tyukin, a repatriate from Ukraine and an IDF soldier, became not only a personal tragedy for one family in Israel and Ukraine.

Did Israel overlook the drone threat? Netanyahu stated that he warned about it six years ago

Israel has once again faced a painful question that became apparent to almost the entire world after the start of the war in Ukraine: cheap drones and strike UAVs are changing the rules of modern warfare faster than armies can adapt.

Ukrainian experience against FPV drones has reached the IDF: simple barbed wire has become part of the new war in the north

The story with rotating barbed wire against FPV drones seems almost paradoxical: an army that has built its reputation on high technology, radars, sensors, and multi-layered defense for decades is forced to look closely at a very simple solution born on the front of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

FPV drones on fiber optics in Lebanon — a warning signal for Israel

An episode occurred in Lebanon that Israel should perceive not as a local frontline nuisance, but as a serious warning.
