A Russian "suicide drone" that boasts the ability to identify targets using artificial intelligence has been spotted in images of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Photographs showing what appears to be the KUB-BLA, a type of lethal drone known as a "loitering munition" sold by ZALA Aero, a subsidiary of the Russian arms company Kalashnikov, have appeared on Telegram and Twitter in recent days. The pictures show damaged drones that appear to have either crashed or been shot down. With a wingspan of 1.2 meters, the sleek white drone resembles a small pilotless fighter jet. It is fired from a portable launch, can travel up to 130 kilometers per hour for 30 minutes, and deliberately crashes into a target, detonating a 3-kilo explosive.

'The Five' weighs in on Russia asking China for military and economic aid during the Russia-Ukraine war. This is a rush transcript from "The Five," March 14, 2022. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. It's five o'clock in New York City, and this is THE FIVE. Brand-new drone footage showing the devastation in Mariupol where Russia is ramping up more reckless attacks shelling residential buildings injuring and killing civilians. For more let's go to Trey Yingst in Kyiv, Ukraine. We are learning more about the Russian advance on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Each hour they are shelling the outskirts of the city, they are also hitting it from the air using fighter jets. It's part of the reason we've seen so much air defense in the Ukrainian arsenal here trying to shoot those planes out of the sky, but you can see from this video when a Russian shell does get through it can cause immense damage. At least two people were killed at this first location this morning when a shell slammed into an apartment building. A Russian missile hit the sidewalk earlier today killing at least one person and injuring a handful more. The scenes of devastation that we've seen across this country now starting to take place in the Ukrainian capital. In the southern city of Mariupol this drone footage shows black smoke rising up from the horizon and it shows the level of devastation in residential areas. Analysts are warning that President Putin of Russia maybe planning to surround this city, and yet you can see similar damage taking place here, but again, there are civilians all around this area and it makes it extremely difficult to find safety as Russian forces attacked from the air and ground. The city is bracing for what could be a very bloody days ahead. JESSICA TARLOV, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Thank you. WATTERS: I'm sure you have a lot to say about what you've been seeing on television over the last couple of weeks. This is definitely a heavy news day to come back. I'm very thankful to be here with you guys, you've done an amazing job covering the story. What I was struck by from at least today's news was that now Putin is 12, 13 miles from the NATO border. And there can be something intentional or unintentional that suddenly something happened in Poland or another NATO country, and then, what, we haven't really.

A woman stabbed her date whom she had met online in retaliation for the 2020 death of an Iranian military leader killed in an American drone strike, police said.Nika Nika Nikoubin is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing March 24. Nika Nikoubin, 21, has been charged with attempted murder, battery with a deadly weapon and burglary, KLAS-TV reported.

We propose a variant of alternating direction method of multiplier (ADMM) to solve constrained trajectory optimization problems. Our ADMM framework breaks a joint optimization into small sub-problems, leading to a low iteration cost and decentralized parameter updates. Starting from a collision-free initial trajectory, our method inherits the theoretical properties of primal interior point method (P-IPM), i.e., guaranteed collision avoidance and homotopy preservation throughout optimization, while being orders of magnitude faster. We have analyzed the convergence and evaluated our method for time-optimal multi-UAV trajectory optimizations and simultaneous goal-reaching of multiple robot arms, where we take into consider kinematics-, dynamics-limits, and homotopy-preserving collision constraints. Our method highlights an order of magnitude's speedup, while generating trajectories of comparable qualities as state-of-the-art P-IPM solver.

A military drone that apparently flew all the way from the Ukrainian war zone over three European NATO-member states before crashing in an urban zone of the Croatian capital was armed with an explosive device, Croatia's defense minister said Sunday. Police inspect the site of a drone crash in Zagreb, Croatia, Friday, March 11, 2022. A drone that apparently flew from the Ukrainian war zone crashed overnight on the outskirts of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, triggering a loud blast but causing no injuries, Croatian authorities said Friday.

Iran claimed responsibility Sunday for a missile barrage that struck near a sprawling U.S. consulate complex in the northern Iraqi city of Irbil, saying it was retaliation for an Israeli strike in Syria that killed two members of its Revolutionary Guard earlier this week. No injuries were reported in Sunday's attack on the city of Irbil, which marked a significant escalation between the U.S. and Iran. Hostility between the longtime foes has often played out in Iraq, whose government is allied with both countries.

NITI Aayog, the policy think tank of the Government of India, is looking at expanding its "Medicines from the Sky" project, which uses unmanned aerial systems for the delivery of vaccines in remote areas, to the North-Eastern parts of the country. It is also exploring use of emerging technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) in medical diagnostics. NITI Aayog, in collaboration with the Government of Telangana and the World Economic Forum (WEF), launched the'Medicines from the Sky' project on piloting the use of unmanned aerial systems for the delivery of vaccines in remote areas. These drone trials are focused on laying the groundwork for a drone delivery network that will improve access to vital healthcare supplies for remote and vulnerable communities. The scope includes deliveries of MMR (maternal mortality rate), flu and C-19 vaccines.

Consider an alternative history for the war in Ukraine. Intrepid Ukrainian Army units mount an effort to pick off Russian supply convoys. But rather than rely on sporadic air cover, the Russian convoys travel under a blanket of cheap drones. The armed drones carry relatively simple artificial intelligence (AI) that can identify human forms and target them with missiles. The tactic claims many innocent civilians, as the drones kill nearly anyone close enough to the convoys to threaten them with anti-tank weapons.

Ukraine's most sophisticated attack drone is about as stealthy as a crop duster: slow, low-flying and completely defenseless. So when the Russian invasion began, many experts expected the few drones that the Ukrainian forces managed to get off the ground would be shot down in hours. But more than two weeks into the conflict, Ukraine's drones -- Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 models that buzz along at about half the speed of a Cessna – are not only still flying; they also shoot guided missiles at Russian missile launchers, tanks and supply trains, according to Pentagon officials. The drones have become a sort of lumbering canary in the war's coal mine, a sign of the astonishing resiliency of the Ukrainian defense forces and the larger problems that the Russians have encountered. "The performance of the Russian military has been shocking," said David Deptula, a retired three-star Air Force general who planned the U.S. air campaigns in Afghanistan in 2001 and the Persian Gulf in 1991.

A drone that apparently flew all the way from the Ukrainian war zone has crashed on the outskirts of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, triggering a loud blast but causing no injuries, according to Croatian authorities. A statement issued on Friday after Croatia's National Security Council meeting said the "pilotless military aircraft" entered Croatian airspace overnight from neighbouring Hungary at a speed of 700 kilometres per hour (430mph) and an altitude of 1,300 metres (4,300 feet). The council said that an official criminal investigation will be launched and that NATO will be informed about the incident. The crash means that the large drone flew at least 560km (350 miles) apparently undetected by air defences in Croatia and Hungary, both members of the Western military alliance. Military experts of The War Zone online magazine said that the aircraft is likely a Soviet-era Tu-141 Strizh reconnaissance drone that must have severely malfunctioned and crossed over the entirety of Hungary and into Croatia from Ukraine.
