Drone-Enabled Hybrid Warfare and the Hidden Nuclear Risk

Hybrid warfare has evolved far beyond traditional battlefields. In today’s conflicts, drones, cyber operations, and psychological manipulation blend into a potent mix that blurs the line between peace and war.

While much public attention focuses on drones striking tanks or radar stations, an underexamined threat looms: nuclear power plants and nuclear waste depots. These facilities—symbols of both technological mastery and vulnerability—have become attractive targets in the logic of hybrid conflict.

Stealth Drone Swarms: The Emerging Threat Radar Must Learn to See

Stealth was once the privilege of state-of-the-art fighter jets and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Today, the same principles of radar evasion are being applied to far smaller, more numerous, and more agile platforms: drones. But what makes these platforms especially dangerous is not their individual sophistication—it’s their collective behavior.
