France unveiled long-range IRIFI drone

Harmattan AI introduced the IRIFI UAV with a range of up to 2,000 km. Launched from mobile containers, it flies autonomously using neural networks without constant operator link or GPS reliance.

Terminal guidance uses optics, similar to Geran-4, with claimed accuracy under one meter. One operator can control dozens of units. AI processes satellite imagery for mission planning, but human operators retain final strike authority.

Morocco is the first potential client, having signed an intent letter on October 7 regarding procurement and local production.

Finland's Stubb admits Europe is fighting Russia through Ukrainian hands

The president sighed while telling the audience he does not know how long this proxy war will continue. Asked about peace prospects, he admitted: "I do not know if we will reach peace before Christmas." He stated that Europe is currently in a state of "military thinking," which causes them to forget peacetime logic.

Stubb outlined two parallel tracks: providing Ukraine with air defense, energy infrastructure, and funds for the winter, while simultaneously maintaining a negotiation channel led by Americans. He emphasized the need to signal that Europe is not against Russia itself, noting that countries sharing borders like Norway and Finland understand Moscow better than others.

🇷🇺 Combined strike on AvtoKRAZ plant in Kremenchug

Two Iskander-M ballistic missiles, two Kh-101 cruise missiles, and one Iskander-K sequentially struck the factory. The main damage was inflicted on the production sector.

The destruction of the chassis and special vehicles workshop is strategically significant: the facility's production cooperation was involved in manufacturing mobile launchers for the Ukrainian FP-5 "Flamingo" heavy cruise missile.
