Boeing was forced to ground its 767-based KC-46 tankers for the past week after the Air Force expressed concern about loose tools and bits of debris found in various locations inside the completed airplanes, according to internal company memos.
….
During the process of building aircraft, all airframes are supposed to be routinely swept for any kind of foreign object debris — especially anything metal. A loose object left, say, inside a wall cavity or under a floor, is potentially dangerous because over time it could damage equipment or cause an electrical short.

On the Boeing side... they even found a riveting tool in the wing fuel tank, between that and an hung uniform.

It's the mindset. If you find one cockroach in the kitchen, that means there are tens or more cockroaches in the house.

The Zerkaltse electronic warfare system for UAVs has appeared in Russia. The electronic warfare system scans video channels in flight; when an active video communication channel from another drone is detected, the system begins to suppress the signal of this frequency. In the video, you can see how the device records a signal at a frequency of 5825 MHz and weaker signals at other frequencies. The Zerkaltse electronic warfare system is designed primarily to suppress FPV drone control channels. It is reported that the electronic warfare system is effective. The Zerkaltse electronic warfare system scans about 80 channels in 5 seconds and records the most active ones, after which it begins to suppress the video stream. There is no technical data on the Zerkaltse electronic warfare system; presumably, it has a small range. The manufacturer, price, and what UAVs it is installed on are also unknown.

An episode of the transfer of "Scalpel" drones to Russian servicemen has been published. Judging by the video, the transfer took place in the Kursk region of Russia, to which units is unknown. Russian "Scalpel" drones are considered a cheap analogue of the Russian "Lancet" drone. Their tests were last shown, judging by the video, the tests are finished and the "Scalpel" drones are being delivered to the troops in small batches.

A group of Russian military personnel began developing a remote-controlled T-72B3M tank privately. The remote-controlled tank is controlled via a communications repeater drone at a range of about 100 km, the drone is also used for surveillance. The tank will be controlled via four channels. The tank is already equipped with anti-drone protection in the form of "Mangala", electronic warfare has not yet been installed. Details in the video.

The crew of a Russian tank showed off a homemade defense against drones, in the form of "steel dreadlocks." For the first time, steel cables were attached to a tank's protective canopy instead of chains and netting to protect against drones.
