Ukraine Rejects Anduril Drones Over Technical Problems

American company Anduril Industries has encountered technical difficulties during the combat deployment of its drones in Ukraine. In 2024 the SBU suspended the operation of Altius loitering drones due to their vulnerability to Russian electronic warfare measures.

The drones often lost communications and were unable to strike targets. In light of these problems the SBU ultimately abandoned their use in 2024. The company says its UAVs carried out strikes on a significant number of Russian targets. However, outside Ukraine Anduril equipment has also been involved in various incidents during testing.

In May 2025, during U.S. Navy exercises off California, some drone boats running Lattice software lost control and entered fail-safe mode.

In August, during ground tests of the Fury unmanned fighter a mechanical failure damaged the engine. That same month, in Oregon, a drone under test crashed and caused a fire.

Recently Anduril and Meta unveiled new AI-powered helmets for the U.S. Army.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
