Youth over rank: Gen Z soldiers are leading the future of drone warfare​

Jun 26, 2026 #BritishArmy #DroneWarfare #FPV
The traditional chain of command is facing a quiet revolution.
While the British Army has historically been slower to adopt drone warfare at scale, one unit is breaking the mold. 1 LANCS has invested in its own drone capability, established a dedicated strike company, and is preparing soldiers for the realities of modern conflict.
From major Nato exercises in Estonia to FPV and kamikaze drone training in the rugged hills of Northern England, this documentary follows the soldiers at the forefront of Britain's drone revolution.
Featuring Lance Corporal Trent Isles, whose work training fellow soldiers in drone operations earned him a Chief of the General Staff's Commendation in the King's Birthday Honours, we explore how the digital generation is reshaping the future battlefield.
Is this the future of the British Army?

Youth over rank: Gen Z soldiers are leading the future of drone warfare
 
Similar to WWII, where a cadre of statistical experts, kids, really, fresh college grads...were given quick rank and special lattitude to set up their scientific ordering of logistics.

Some of that group became the Ford Motor Company's "Whiz Kids" - Robert McNamara, Ed Lundy, Arjay Miller. These were the coder-geeks of their day, and some (especially McNamara and Lundy) shared the same personality defects: Numbers over people, with little concern for the needs, even the lives, of others.

I been using DJI drones in my business for almost four years. I said back then they would be the future of everything including war.
 

The first US sea drone strike in Iran set the stage for a new way of NATO warfighting. 'It's coming,' top commander says.​

  • NATO militaries are increasingly incorporating sea drones into their naval operations.
  • The US became the first to use one in combat during a recent strike on an Iranian port.
  • The operation opens up a new frontier for NATO, which has mainly used sea drones for surveillance.
The US military's first-ever sea-drone strike, carried out in Iran earlier this month, is opening up a new way of warfighting for NATO, a top commander overseeing the alliance's modernization told Business Insider.

Russia blamed for explosive drone at German airport​

An explosive drone has been found near a Ukrainian cargo plane in Germany.

The unexploded device was found by an airport employee on the apron – where aircraft load or unload passengers and cargo – at Leipzig/Halle airport on Tuesday night. It was close to a Ukrainian Antonov Airlines aircraft, according to police documents.

The airport, in eastern Germany, plays a key role in the transport of military goods, including for the German military and Nato allies, and also serves as a base for Antonov.

Oleksii Makeiev, Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, voiced suspicion that Moscow was behind the incident, telling Welt TV: “Who else could it be but Russia?”
