“We do not allow ourselves to fight that way”

Brovdi outlines five steps NATO countries need to take immediately to establish defense against war by drone assault:

1. Create a 2-7km wide buffer zone across the entire length of National borders where drones can operate freely.
2. Build a dense, layered & redundant fiberoptic communication infrastructure into the buffer zone.
3. Establish dedicated, highly mobile anti-drone air defenses.
4. Create a separate unmanned systems military command or service.
5. Develop medium- and long-range drone capability.

Marker inscription:
“The New Jersey School of Conservation opened in 1949 occupying the site of Civilian Conservation Corps Camp S-57 and Camp S-71. To the CCC we owe the existence of Lake Wapalanne, created by the construction of an earthen dam across Springbrook, and many of the buildings that make up the two campuses of NJSOC. Six of Camp S-71’s original buildings on the Sequoya campus, as well as the 12 cabins, Kittatinny Hall, Big Timbers, Staff Lodge, the infirmary, and the Main Office on the Wapalanne campus—all built by the CCC—continue to be in use year-round today. In 1981, Governor Brendan T. Byrne signed legislation designating the NJSOC as a school for environmental field study in perpetuity. Updated legislation signed by Governor Phil Murphy in 2022 put the NJSOC under the management of the Friends of the New Jersey School of Conservation. The NJSOC remains true to its CCC legacy as it continues to serve students at all educational levels, educators, researchers, and the general public through its year-round residential environmental education and summer camp programs.”

“MOSCOW, June 18 (Reuters) - The blast was so powerful that the huge disc-shaped lid of an oil storage tank was launched into the sky over Moscow like a frisbee.

Evading Russian air defences, Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in southeast ‌Moscow on Thursday for the second time in three days, igniting a fierce blaze that spewed out clouds of black smoke.

The attacks are part of a wider Ukrainian campaign to cripple the oil industry whose revenues finance Russia's war effort.[…]”
