→Project White Stork
Unlike his previous data-management [[AI]] system, Project Maven, Eric Schmidt's latest Project White Stork is specifically geared toward creating AI [[drone|attack drones]]—ones which can operate autonomously even in an [[electronic warfare|electronic warfare (EW)]] jamming heavy environment. What Schmidt, [[DARPA]], the [[CIA]], and [[Ukraine]] are doing is essentially trying to create fully autonomous [[drone war|drone swarm fleets]] that would turn the battlefield into a nightmarish no-go zone for any “topside” troops.<ref>https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/can-the-west-still-win-analyzing</ref>

==China unveils new mobile anti-drone air defense system==
During the exercises of the 71st Air Defense Brigade of the 71st Army of the [[PLA]] Ground Forces, the operation of the Type 625E air defense missile and gun system was demonstrated, which was also able to destroy a "swarm of drones".
The system is mounted on an eight-wheeled ZBL-08 armored personnel carrier with high cross-country ability and maneuverability, and is equipped with a six-barrel 25-mm Gatling gun with an effective range of up to 2.5 km and a height of up to 2 km. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with FN-16 missiles (analogous to the Russian Igla [[MANPADS]]) with a range of 6-10 km.
The guidance and detection system consists of:
◾️Search radar station (RLS);
◾️Tracking radar;
◾️Optical-electronic tracking system;
◾️Onboard fire control system (FCS) – continuously tracks the target, calculates the trajectory and sets the optimal interception point.
In terms of characteristics, the Type 625E is inferior to the Russian [[Pantsir]]-S1 and Pantsir-SM in terms of range and radar capabilities (detection up to 75 km for Pantsir-SM). At the same time, the Type 625E device wins in mobility, compactness and simplicity, which makes it suitable for protecting troops on the march, and is probably more economical and effective against tactical drones and [[artillery]] shells.
[[China]], which produces most of the world's drones and almost all of their spare parts, which could instantly cut off all countries from access to cheap drones, became concerned about the problem of countering UAVs just a few years ago (first presented at the China 2022 exhibition held in Zhuhai), and has already presented a proven model of weapons that fully meets the realities of modern combat.
Good speed of response of the military-industrial complex and understanding of the defense department about the need for timely introduction of the latest weapons. It is doubtful that China will allow the sale and export of these systems to the [Ukrainian proxy regime]] by the [[United States]].
