1/ Acoustic defense is making a quiet comeback on the battlefield. Today, it’s Ukraine’s very best solutions against drone swarms. Here's why 🧵

I was about to take one of my first backseat rides in a fighter jet when I heard the craziest story of my life.

I might get roasted but someone needs to say it: I genuinely don’t see the point of putting humans inside tanks anymore. Modern armor is increasingly a liability, not because tanks are useless, but because putting humans inside them limits what they can do, how long they can…

You can’t jam silence. Fiber. 5G. Vision-only drones. They don’t emit. They don’t jam. RF systems can’t see them. @askalon_inds can. Because acoustics doesn’t care how you fly — only that you’re there.

I just wanted to detect a drone. Now apparently so does the rest of the planet. 2004: “Drone what?” 2025: “Is it near my town center, airport, stadium, or backyard barbecue?” Interesting to watch tech curiosity turn into global necessity.
