The Dublin incident is not thought to have involved a drone swarm. Instead, sources say that the UAVs moved independently of each other, meaning they were likely operated by four pilots.

Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

It's not yet known who launched and controlled the drones or where the drones are now. In this case, the fact that the drones had their lights on has led security forces to suspect that the aim was to disrupt the flight’s arrival into Dublin.

Francisco Blaha, a former fisherman turned independent adviser based in the Western Pacific, says that although levels of non-compliance “are very similar between China, Korea and Taiwan”, his own analysis suggests South Korea could be the worst offender.

“When they come back they find their father’s dead and all sorts of things,” says Fiji-based fisheries scientist Patricia Kailola, who surveys Pacific fishermen. One worker found his wife had married again during his long absence and took his own life, she adds.

Russia’s Titanium-Hulled Alfa-Class Submarines Are Just Useless The Soviet Alfa-class titanium ‘hot rod’ sub was faster and deeper-diving than anything the U.S. had—so why was it a noisy, costly failure?

In the silent, pressurized depths of the Cold War, the contest between American and Soviet submarines was a battle of ghosts. It was a hidden war fought with sound waves and shadows, where the ultimate prize was invisibility.

In 2022, Rigsby had been arrested at least three times, according to his podcast interview. In the fall of 2024, he began to get nervous. When the owner of Rashko Baba complained to the Taliban about Rigsby’s investigations, Taliban officials banned him from TV news stations.

The Nov. 18, 2024, thread about the pipeline was his last. Nine days later, the staff in his popular, security-guarded apartment building grew worried that they hadn’t seen him. They called the Kabul police, who broke down the door to his apartment to find him dead.

The curious life and lonely death of an American in Kabul Jeff Rigsby moved back to Afghanistan after the US withdrawal with a self-imposed mission to save lives and inform millions.

Rigsby had been on the road for some 30 years. A precocious North Carolina boy who enrolled at Harvard at 16, he had left the US soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall, arriving in Kabul via Japan, China, a prior period in Afghanistan, and Ethiopia. www.semafor.com/article/11/1...
