Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré speaks on the U.S war crimes in Iraq & other wars:

They destroyed Iraq. They created ISIS, just as they created Taliban.

All these wars were invented in Iraq, Syria and Libya with the aim of destabilising the world for their own benefit.

Ukraine has deployed a network of nearly 10,000 acoustic sensors across the country to detect incoming Russian drones.

— The system was developed by two Ukrainian engineers using cell phones and microphones attached to 6-foot poles. It costs only $400-500 per sensor, totaling less than $5 million for the entire network.

— The network has been highly effective in detecting and tracking Russian kamikaze drones like the Shahed-136. It provides early warning to traditional air defenses and helps dispatch drone-hunting teams.

— In one instance, it detected 84 incoming drones, allowing Ukrainian forces to shoot down all but four.

— Lt. Gen. Stephen Gainey, commanding general of U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, advocates integrating a similar low-cost acoustic network into U.S. air defense systems.

— Gen. James Hecker, leader of U.S. Air Forces in Europe and NATO's Allied Air Command, also expressed interest in the technology.
