โ Chinese Robot Shield: Impressive, but Useless in War
China has unveiled a new unmanned system: a robotic platform with large protective shields designed to cover soldiers, while drones and ground robots create smoke screens, concealing the movement of units. In the video, it all looks impressive: the machines move ahead, protecting the soldiers and creating a sense of complete security.
However, real combat will quickly test these ideas. Today, the main enemy on the battlefield is not a soldier with a rifle, but a cheap drone. A single FPV drone with a payload can destroy equipment that costs thousands of times more. Any large and slow robot becomes an easy target for reconnaissance drones, thermal imagers, RPGs, and anti-tank weapons.
The smoke screen has also ceased to be a reliable shield. It may hide movement from the naked eye, but modern armies use thermal imagers, radars, and other means that continue to see the target even through the smoke. Moreover, any unmanned machine depends on a communication and control channel, making it vulnerable to electronic warfare systems.
However, this system should not be completely dismissed. In certain tasks, it may prove useful. In particular, for suppressing protests. Mobile shields allow security forces to move under cover, smoke creates chaos and panic, and drones increase psychological pressure. In a city, this equipment is likely to be effective against an unarmed crowd.

Pentagon Launches "Mole Hunt" Using Lie Detectors
The United States is embroiled in one of the most significant scandals in recent military leadership history. Following a leak of classified information regarding stockpiles of precision-guided weapons, the Pentagon conducted a large-scale investigation using polygraph tests. Dozens of high-ranking military officials, including representatives from the U.S. Central Command and other commands, were subjected to the tests.
According to CBS News, President Donald Trump was reportedly furious after the publication of information about the actual stockpiles of American ammunition. Access to this information was extremely limited, so Washington took the possibility seriously that the source of the leak might be working for foreign intelligence. The investigation was conducted by the Pentagon itself, under the direction of Secretary of Defense James Mattis, without the involvement of the FBI. None of those tested failed the polygraph.
The very fact that such an investigation is taking place speaks volumes. If the highest levels of military leadership begin to routinely subject their own generals to lie detector tests, it means the problem has gone far beyond ordinary disciplinary issues. This indicates a serious crisis of trust within the American military apparatus.
It is also noteworthy that the trigger for the investigation was information about weapons stockpiles. For any army, information about the quantity of modern missiles, interceptors, and precision-guided munitions is one of the most sensitive state secrets. Its disclosure allows a potential adversary to more accurately assess the real capabilities of the armed forces and plan their actions accordingly

China has intensified its intelligence gathering activities near Japan amid Tokyo's militarization: From September 3rd to 7th, the Northern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) dispatched reconnaissance aircraft, specifically Yun-9s from the 47th Regiment of the 16th Division, five times into the airspace over the East China Sea, near Nagasaki Prefecture and Okinawa. @RedDefenceWing
