Despite the simplicity of the attack chain, the attackers have employed complex tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) along with obfuscation methods to evade detection.
Russia shows the world its true colors by continuing an air campaign to stop Ukrainian #grain exports that were supposed to ease a global #food #crisis. Russian #air #strikes #killed four people in #Ukraine and caused significant #damage to #infrastructure at the Black Sea port of #Odesa and to grain storage facilities. 19 #drones and 11 cruise #missiles were shot down overnight.

🇨🇳 🇷🇺 #Chinese curbs on the export of #drones and their components have caused supply disruptions and shortages in #Russia, the Kommersant business daily reported Monday.
Beijing this summer announced the drone export restrictions, which came into effect on Sept. 1, after Washington accused it of aiding Moscow's war efforts in #Ukraine

Ah, there it is. The FAA has announced they will delay the implementation of the Remote ID standard until March, giving pilots an additional six months to work through supply issues related to obtaining RID modules.
This is very good news and a smart decision on their part. As I've been documenting over the summer, supply issues have existed since at least April-May and I still only have one of the two RID modules that I ordered for my drones.

Musk's cowardice blocked Ukrainian #Drones then...
"Here is the part you might not have heard...
The same team launched a similar attack again a few weeks later... They put one Russian frigate, the Admiral Makarov, out of commission. They believe that they damaged at least one submarine, and, the engineers say, at least two other boats as well.
And then? Nuclear war did not follow."

USA #NYC #NYPD #Drones #Surveillance #Privacy #LaborDay: "In a statement to the Guardian, Daniel Schwarz, the senior privacy and technology strategist at the New York Civil Liberties Union, said: “Deploying surveillance drones over New Yorkers gathering with their friends and families to celebrate J’ouvert is racialized discrimination and it doesn’t make us safer.”
Schwarz also accused police of “playing fast and loose” with New Yorkers’ constitutional rights to due process and to freely hold peaceful gatherings. He added that the drone ploy was also antithetical to the 2021 Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology Act, which requires New York police to publish impact and use policies on its surveillance technologies.
“As the NYPD keeps deploying these dystopian technologies, we must push for stricter guardrails – especially given the department’s lengthy history of surveilling and policing Black and brown communities,” he continued.
Albert Fox Cahn, the executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, called the decision a “terrible plan that should never have gotten off the ground”.
“We see that there’s a real pattern with the NYPD and with Eric Adams (the New York City mayor) – whenever there’s a risk of bad headlines, they’ll turn to the next technology gimmick,” Cahn told the Guardian."

Several waves of #Russian #drones were launched on Sat, hitting port infrastructure in the #Ukrainian city of Reni. The port sits just across the river from Romania, a member of the NATO alliance. Russia has repeatedly attacked ports on the Danube, since Ukraine increased its use of the river for exporting crops. (cont.)

New York City Mayor Eric Adams wants police to embrace the “endless” potential of drones, citing Israel’s use of the technology.
But privacy advocates say regulations have not kept up, opening the door to intrusive surveillance that would be illegal if conducted by a human police officer.

On Ukraine's drone ships / USVs, a/k/a Sea Baby
These look to be improvised from generally-available parts, including aluminium-hulled skiffs, Sea-Doo (a/k/a JetSki), and impact fuses possibly salvaged from Russian missiles. Payload in excess of 350 kg, range of 800 km. Top speed "faster than anything else on the Black Sea".
Ukraine calls these "Sea Baby".
What the boats are not is electrically-powered drones, which someone had been strongly implying on Hacker News.
I'd also be curious whether or not fibreglass hulls (possibly fabricated by Ukraine) might have even lower radar signatures as compared to aluminium, though with wave chop detection's already likely challenging.

Drones are disturbing critically endangered shorebirds.
Yet another threat to shorebirds along the coastline - habitat destruction, dogs and boats
"Drone disturbance can interrupt birds as they rest or feed. It can even cause them to avoid some locations altogether. This is particularly concerning for species such as the eastern curlew, which migrate thousands of kilometres to breed."
'Regulating drone use near critical shorebird habitats will help us to avoid exacerbating population declines, while still allowing the use of a valuable tool, where appropriate."
