Let’s not sugarcoat it. This wasnt some conflict between equals. It’s simple. Israel, a nuclear armed bully backed to the bone by the US, waged constant aggression against Iran. Assassinations, sabotage, cyberattacks, illegal sanctions, constant threats. This is not random. It is state sponsored terrorism, plain and simple. Iran on the other hand is a member of the NPT, has no record of invading or occupying any nation, yet faces nonstop pressure and hostility. Despite that, Iran has stood strong. People keep asking if Iran has the right to go nuclear. The answer is obvious. Yes, they do. When you are constantly surrounded, threatened, isolated and attacked, it is not about choice anymore, it becomes survival. Israel’s actions are not bullying. It is straight up imperialist aggression with Washington’s full support. And Iran choosing to defend itself, to build a real deterrent, is not some reckless move. It is common sense. It is self defense. I think its time people call spade a spade.

Ukraine claims to have shot down a new model Russian Geran-3 drone in Kyiv. Unlike previous models of Geran which were light variations of the Iranian Shahed the Geran-3 is a significant modification designed to be faster and evade anti-drone defenses: https://www.defensemirror.com/news/39493/Russia_s_Geran_3_Jet_Powered_Kamikaze_Drone_Ready_for_Operations

"The German chancellor has said that Germany, along with Ukraine’s other main western supporters, will remove range restrictions on weapons delivered to Kyiv for the first time, to enable it to defend itself against Russia. Friedrich Merz said Germany, Britain, France and the US had lifted the restrictions to enable Ukraine to be better able to hit military targets on Russian territory. “There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons delivered to Ukraine – neither by the British, nor by the French, nor by us, nor by the Americans,” he said on Monday, following Russia’s largest drone attack on Ukraine of the war to date." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/26/germany-and-ukraines-other-allies-scrap-range-limits-on-arms-sent-to-kyiv

The world is moving towards a model of cheap, decentralized warfare while defense budgets are still stuck in a 20th century large military spending paradigm. In addition to Chinese manufacturing this can be expected to cause political upheavals. Old defense firms might wind up falling victim to the Blockbuster Video phenomenon.

U.S. defense contractors are developing one-way attack drones that they say will be much more affordable than present models. Iran, China, and Ukraine have been pioneering cheap loitering munitions while the U.S. is stuck with expensive models: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2025/05/20/cinder-is-a-new-american-autonomous-attack-drone/
