๐๐ฎ๐ทโก๏ธ โ Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani told Al-Monitor that the recent attacks that targeted his private office and the home of the KRG Security Council director aimed "to intimidate us and maybe drag us into something that we strongly resist."
While Iran has denied responsibility, Barzani said the drones used in recent attacks were Iranian-made Hadid-110 turbo drones.
"I think that's for the Iranian authorities to find out how such drones that nobody else has could be used by someone else to attack outside their country," Barzani said.

๐บ๐ฆ๐ท๐บโก๏ธ โ Ukrainian officials proposed a major expansion of their campaign against Russia earlier this year, centered on overwhelming Moscowโs airports with as many as 1,000 autonomous drones per night, according to The Atlantic.
Rather than relying on remote pilots, the drones would navigate and select designated targets using onboard AI and map-matching systems, potentially allowing them to continue operating despite Russian electronic jamming.
The objective was to severely disrupt flights around Moscow and create domestic pressure on the Kremlin to negotiate. Zelensky permitted preparations to move forward despite concerns over civilian casualties and that civilian aircraft could be endangered.
The project was put on hold after Fedorov was removed as Defence Minister in July, but Ukrainian officials believe it could be restarted within around three months.
