Brett Velicovich, a former US Army intelligence and special operations soldier who spent years using drones to hunt ISIS leaders before founding drone company PowerUs, said the threat comes from a new type of warfare that the US is still struggling to defend against. 'These new asymmetric threats, where you've got low-cost, cheap, small drones, in some cases, that are able to be sent in massive waves, don't have the same signature of an intercontinental ballistic missile,' Velicovich explained.

Autonomous firefighting robot can drive straight into a 1,000 degree blaze
The tank-like vehicle is already being tested in South Korea. The robot sprays itself with water to stay cool and uses thermal cameras to see through smoke. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Firefighters in South Korea will soon start deploying alongside a massive, six-wheeled, self-cooling autonomous robot that could help keep them safe. Hyundai recently revealed the new, driverless ground drone, built atop a chassis initially intended for military use and looking like something out of a sci-fi film.

Iran continues intensified attacks across Gulf in US-Israel war fallout
Could Iran be using China's BeiDou system? Iran has pressed on with sustained missile and drone attacks across the Gulf region, despite repeated protests from its neighbours, in ongoing retaliation in the war launched by the United States and Israel . Tehran's strikes targeted multiple countries, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, late on Friday and in the early hours of Saturday. The ministry also said late on Friday that the country's armed forces intercepted a ballistic missile launched towards the al-Kharj governorate. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Saturday that five US Air Force refuelling planes were damaged in recent days while on the ground at an airbase in Saudi Arabia. According to the WSJ, quoting unnamed US officials, the aircraft were damaged in an Iranian attack.

Watch: Why Kharg Island is a lifeline for Iran
Kharg Island is a small rocky outcrop just 15 miles (24km) off the coast of Iran - but despite its size, it is one of the most critical pieces of Iran's energy infrastructure. US President Donald Trump recently posted on Truth Social that the US military had conducted what he called one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the Middle East, obliterating every military target on the island. BBC Security Brief's Mikey Kay breaks down why Kharg Island is a lifeline for Iran, and why it is so strategically important for the US. As turmoil continues in the Middle East, the price of crude oil rose to more than $100 a barrel on Monday. Watch: Ukrainian anti-drone'bullet' that could help defend Gulf The BBC's Diplomatic Correspondent, James Landale, is in Ukraine to see the latest anti-drone technology the country has to offer.

Is Dubai's glossy image under threat? Not everyone thinks so
Is Dubai's glossy image under threat? Stephanie Baker had been celebrating her birthday with friends at a bar on Palm Jumeirah - Dubai's iconic man-made palm-shaped island lined with luxury hotels and beach clubs. But as the group stepped outside to head to another nearby venue, something unusual streaked across the night sky. Moments later, debris from a drone struck the five-star Fairmont hotel - Baker and her friends were standing right across the street. We all were scared, she says.

Drone attack on market in Sudan kills 11, as air war civilian toll mounts
A drone attack on a busy market in western Sudan has killed 11 people and wounded dozens more, including children, as the United Nations warns that the country's rapidly escalating air wars have claimed more than 200 civilian lives in little over a week. The attack on Adikong market, near Sudan's border with Chad, ignited fuel reserves and sent flames tearing through the area on Thursday. MSF described it as the second deadly drone attack on the same area in less than a month. Drones have become a key weapon used by both sides in the war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces that began in April 2023. UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk said on Thursday he was appalled by the scale of intensifying aerial assaults on civilians in the war, warning that more than 200 people had been killed by drones across the Kordofan region and White Nile state since March 4 alone.
