    In this exclusive interview, I sit down with a Russian military drone developer inside his secret workshop to talk about the future of drone warfare. From FPV kamikaze drones and fiber-optic guidance systems to jamming tactics and the rise of interceptor drones — we cover it all. We also discuss how Russia and Ukraine have become the world’s most advanced drone war laboratories, what makes Chinese tech fall short, and why the West is struggling to catch up.

    Generated Summary:

    Main Topic:

    An interview with Sigay, a Russian engineer and entrepreneur developing military drones, providing insights into the current state and future trends of drone warfare, particularly in the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He offers a candid perspective on the effectiveness of various drone technologies, the role of private developers, and the impact of Chinese components.

    Key Points:

    • Drone Warfare Advancement: Russia and Ukraine are currently the most advanced countries in drone development, with Ukraine potentially slightly ahead due to its streamlined integration of private developers.
    • Effectiveness of Western Tech: The interviewee is unimpressed with the performance of Western drones in the conflict, citing the American Switchblade as "total garbage" and criticizing the build quality of the Boeing Scan Eagle.
    • Role of Private Developers: Private developers are crucial for innovation in drone technology due to their flexibility and motivation, contrasting with slow, state-owned enterprises.
    • Chinese Components: Russia has largely switched to Chinese components for drone production due to their affordability and availability, despite some quality differences compared to American chips.
    • Evolving Drone Tactics: The conflict has seen the rise of tactics like remote mine laying, sleeper drones, and the use of fiber optic drones to counter jamming.
    • Countermeasures and Limitations: Various countermeasures against drones exist, such as anti-drone rounds, nets, and lasers, but each has limitations. The best defense for infantry remains smart movement and utilizing natural cover.
    • Future of Drone Technology: The future of drone technology involves increased autonomy, AI-driven target recognition, and the development of more robust, military-grade drones.
    • Starlink's Impact: Starlink has been a game-changing technology for Ukraine, enabling naval drone operations and long-range remote piloting.
    • Baba Yaga and Geran Drones: The Ukrainian Baba Yaga heavy agricultural drone repurposed for dropping bombs is infamous. Russian Geran drones have evolved significantly beyond their Iranian Shahed origins.

    Highlights:

    • The interviewee's blunt assessment of Western drone technology as ineffective in the conflict.
    • The emphasis on the rapid pace of innovation and adaptation in drone warfare tactics on the battlefield.
    • The discussion of the ethical considerations and technological limitations of AI-powered autonomous drones.
    • The explanation of how fiber optic drones are used to overcome jamming and the counter-tactics employed against them.
    • The insight into the Russian military's initial underestimation of drone warfare and its subsequent reliance on private developers.
    • The discussion of the shift in Russian public perception towards the conflict and the government's efforts to avoid stirring up hatred towards Ukrainians.
    • The mention of the interceptor drones and the countermeasures being developed against them.
    • The explanation of the ineffectiveness of backpack jammers for infantry soldiers.

    Sure they can write laws making it illegal to claim the king of Thailand is a doddering old fool anywhere in the world. Good for them. They have no legal right to enforce it on me, though. If I visit their country, of course, I will be subject to their laws. But they can't apply it to me until then.

    Yeah, I agree. It's a great starting place. Recently I needed a piece of information that I couldn't find anywhere through a regular search. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini all gave a similar answers, but it was only confirmed when I contacted the company directly which took about 3 business days to reply.

    Thats what the firewall rules do too, don't allow internet connection if there's no vpn connection. Firewall is a system-wide solution that always works, while qbt config relies heavily on the application implementing interface binding properly. Which it doesn't fully btw.

    You Don't Need a Big Budget for Big Security: Secure Your App with a Free, Powerful WAF

    If you're a developer, a startup founder, or part of a small team, you've poured countless hours into building your web application. You've perfected the UI, optimized the database, and shipped features your users love. But in the rush to build and deploy, a critical question often gets deferred: is your application secure? For many, the answer is a nervous "I hope so." The reality is that without a proper defense, your application is exposed to a barrage of automated attacks hitting the web every second. Threats like SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Remote Code Execution are not just reserved for large enterprises; they are constant dangers for any application with a public IP address. The Security Barrier: When Cost and Complexity Get in the Way The standard recommendation is to place a Web Application Firewall (WAF) in front of your application. A WAF acts as a protective shield, inspecting incoming traffic and filtering out malicious requests before they can do any damage. It’s a foundational piece of modern web security. So, why doesn't everyone have one? Historically, robust WAFs have been complex and expensive. They required significant budgets, specialized knowledge to configure, and ongoing maintenance, putting them out of reach for students, solo developers, non-profits, and early-stage startups. This has created a dangerous security divide, leaving the most innovative and resource-constrained projects the most vulnerable. But that is changing. Democratizing Security: The Power of a Community WAF Security should be a right, not a privilege. Recognizing this, the landscape is shifting towards more accessible, community-driven tools. The goal is to provide powerful, enterprise-grade protection to everyone, for free. This is the principle behind the HaltDos Community WAF. It's a no-cost, perpetually free Web Application Firewall designed specifically for the community that has been underserved for too long. It’s not a stripped-down trial version; it’s a powerful security tool designed to give you immediate and effective protection against the OWASP Top 10 and other critical web threats. What Can You Actually Do with It? With a community WAF, you can deploy a security layer in minutes that: Blocks Malicious Payloads: Get instant, out-of-the-box protection against common attack patterns like SQLi, XSS, RCE, and more. Stops Bad Bots: Prevent malicious bots from scraping your content, attempting credential stuffing, or spamming your forms. Gives You Visibility: A real-time dashboard shows you exactly who is trying to attack your application and what methods they are using, providing invaluable security intelligence. Allows Customization: You can add your own custom security rules to tailor the protection specifically to your application's logic and technology stack. The best part? It can be deployed virtually anywhere—on-premises, in a private cloud, or with any major cloud provider like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Get Started in Minutes You don't need to be a security guru to use it. The setup is straightforward, and the value is immediate. Protecting the project, you've worked so hard on is no longer a question of budget. Download: Get the free Community WAF from the HaltDos site. Deploy: Follow the simple instructions to set it up with your web server (it’s compatible with Nginx, Apache, and others). Secure: Watch the dashboard as it begins to inspect your traffic and block threats in real-time. Security is a journey, but it must start somewhere. For developers, startups, and anyone running a web application on a tight budget, a community WAF is the perfect first step. It's powerful, it's easy, and it's completely free.
