The Ants’ New Weapon, by Robert Gore
June 17, 2025

In an instant, everything has changed.
For most of history, weapons have been top-down. Rulers tried to monopolize new technologies of violence, giving themselves an advantage over external forces that didn’t have them and their own subjugated populations. Nuclear bombs are emblematic of this historical pattern. Drones are transforming warfare from the bottom up, and will transform the relationship between the rulers and the ruled.
In three years, the Ukraine-Russia war has introduced a dramatic and dynamic new type of war, one that makes much of which has preceded it obsolete.
The numbers are difficult to pin down exactly, but we can make broad guesses based on media reports. Russia and Ukraine each fielded about 100 thousand drones in 2023; ten times that number, or 1 million, in 2024; and intends to field five times that number this year – – 5 million each. Ten million new drones in 2025!

Israeli media
The mega bomb that could tip the war in Iran
The US has never used its most powerful conventional bomb, Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), designed to destroy fortified nuclear sites; PM hopes Washington will approve its use, warning that without it, gains will be limited and a war of attrition will become more likely
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must convince Trump to use the U.S. military's Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), also known as bunker-busting bombs, that could destroy Iran's underground nuclear installations, a move that would allow Israel to achieve its declared war goals within a reasonable time frame. Failing that, e runs the risk of a prolonged war of attrition.
According to security officials, Israel’s ongoing bombing campaign may set back Iran’s nuclear program by only a few years and could reduce its ballistic missile capabilities; therefore, an American attack on the nuclear facilities is vital for Israel.
The United States could deploy a new secret weapons system it developed, using American fighter jets. Despite having distanced itself from the Israeli operation thus far, there has been a daily increase in operational and intelligence assistance beyond the defense against Iranian missile and drone attacks.
If Israel succeeds in pushing back against the isolationists in Trump's MAGA movement, we may, for the first time in decades, see the "mother of all bombs," which was developed in the 1990s to deal with North Korea and Iran's nuclear ambitions, put into the use it was intended for.
According to American media reports, including from recent years, these strategic bombs are so sophisticated that they do not detonate before they reach the fortified target, hundreds of meters underground.
The United States has never sold these bombs, nor has it provided them to its closest allies. The bombs can be dropped from a safe distance of an altitude of 50,000 feet, around twice the average altitude used by fighter jets. The B-2 bombers can travel a distance of 9,700 kilometers (over 6,000 miles) without the need to refuel.
Around 30 U.S. military KC-135 and KC-46 refueling jets were dispatched east across the Atlantic Ocean earlier in the week. Officials said they were sent to participate in a NATO drill and denied speculations that they were to participate in an American attack on Iran. But with them in the region, there would be no limit to what the B-2 bombers and their bunker-busting bombs could do.

Safe House Bust: AK-47s And Mortar Grenades Taken In Joint Border Crackdown
Kellen McGovern Jones - Senior Investigative Reporter
Crime
Jun 17, 2025
A joint U.S.-Mexico operation reportedly uncovered a cartel safe house stocked with heavy weapons, stolen vehicles, and military-grade explosives just south of the Arizona border.
On June 16, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael W. Banks posted on X that a May 23 raid by Mexican authorities was initiated after U.S. agents in Tucson shared intelligence with the Government of Mexico (GoM). The result, according to Banks, was the seizure of “4 AK-47s, 3 mortar grenades, 3 stolen vehicles, 3,250 rounds of ammo, 62 magazines, 27 tactical vests, [and] 16 sacks of marijuana.”
“This joint effort dealt a serious blow to cartel operations—removing weapons, resources, and mobility from criminal hands,” Banks wrote. The post was accompanied by a photo showing the seized weapons and gear in clear plastic bags, arranged in front of a screen displaying logos of multiple Mexican security agencies.

A similar statement was posted to the Border Patrol’s official Instagram account, reinforcing the message of binational cooperation. Meanwhile, on Facebook, Border Patrol’s Tucson sector added more detail, identifying the location of the bust as Cananea, Sonora — a cartel hotspot located about 35 miles south of the Arizona town of Naco.
“High-powered guns seized through high-powered cooperation!!” the Tucson post began, crediting Border Patrol’s International Liaison Unit (ILU) at the Brian A. Terry Station with collecting information from sources in southern Arizona that led Mexican forces to the location. See below.
While the home was apparently unoccupied during the action, officials said they found a cache of rifles, ammunition, tactical gear, and narcotics — along with what the Tucson Sector described as “three live mortar grenades commonly used in battle by military units.”
“This is what binational cooperation looks like,” the post concluded. “Teaming up with Mexico took guns out of the cartel’s hands!!!”
U.S. officials have not released additional information about the intended use of the weapons or who was operating the Cananea safe house. Mexican authorities have also not publicly identified any suspects or provided independent confirmation of the seizures. The Border Patrol’s social media posts serve as the primary source of information currently available on the incident.
The reported bust comes amid mounting pressure on Mexico’s government to show results in its fight against organized crime. According to The New York Times, Mexico’s security forces have significantly escalated operations against the powerful Sinaloa Cartel in recent months, following threats from the Trump administration to impose steep tariffs unless fentanyl trafficking and migrant flows were curbed.
The Times reported that more than 10,000 Mexican National Guard troops and hundreds of soldiers have been dispatched to cartel hotspots like Sinaloa and that Mexican forces have made nearly 900 arrests in that state alone since October. Cartel operatives told The Times that they were shutting down drug labs, going into hiding, and even purchasing drone detection equipment in response to increased pressure.
The Trump administration recently designated several Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations and is weighing the prospect of unilateral U.S. military action — a move that some Mexican officials warn could spark retaliation. According to The Times, cartel members have already begun importing more arms from the U.S. and fortifying stash houses.
The Cananea operation, if accurately described, would mark one of the most significant seizures of military-grade explosives in a cross-border context since Trump re-assumed office in January.
As cartel operatives told The Times, the pressures they now face may be unprecedented — but survival is still the goal. “There are always weak points,” one cell leader said. “There are always loose ends we can get to.”
