🇮🇱🇺🇸 Israel is moving ahead with the purchase of 12 advanced U.S.-made Apache attack helicopters.

Israel’s Defense Ministry says it is preparing to finalize an agreement with the Pentagon for Boeing’s AH-64E Apache helicopters, with deliveries expected to begin early next decade.

The aircraft feature advanced targeting systems, powerful weapons and the ability to coordinate with drones.

Hasn’t the Russia-Ukraine war rendered these much more useless in the modern era, let alone the 2030s?

🇹🇷 At the “Ateş Serbest-2026” military exercise, Turkey unveiled Arı Kovanı (“Beehive”), a protective launch shelter equipped with a retractable roof, designed to enable the rapid deployment of FPV kamikaze drones from a protected position.

▪️ The monoblock shelter features a mechanically retractable roof and a rotating launch mechanism capable of carrying 30 FPV drones on a 10-shelf conveyor system. Once the shelves are emptied, the operator can quickly reload them.

🛡️ This concept enables the rapid, vertical launch of low-cost, high-precision strike drones for base defense and perimeter security without exposing operators to danger. Essentially, it is an automated drone deployment system disguised as a guard booth.

🔹 FPV drone teams are frequently hunted on the front lines, with their positions bombarded during launches. Arı Kovanı allows operators to remain several hundred meters or even a kilometer away, fully protected, potentially inside a bunker.

🔹 In the event of an attack on a military base or facility, there is also no need to manually assemble and launch drones. The system can deploy a ready-to-launch drone within seconds.

In other words, it is an automated launcher whose deployed drones are remotely controlled by operators from a separate location.
