Draganfly's Pentagon demonstration: A glimpse into the future of autonomous warfare
Draganfly Inc. showcased its UAV platforms at the Pentagon's LUCAS event The demonstration featured the deployment of Mjolnir munitions from Draganfly's Group I drones, highlighting a tactical shift toward low-cost, scalable, and autonomous strike capabilities for modern conflict scenarios While the event marks a technological milestone, it also raises public concerns about the ethical and strategic implications of increasingly autonomous, weaponized drone systems in global defense operations Draganfly stock (CSE:DPRO) opened trading at C$7.41 Draganfly (CSE:DPRO) recently participated in a high-profile, invite-only demonstration at the Pentagon's Low-Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack Systems (LUCAS) event. The company was selected by MMS Products Inc., the developer of the Mjolnir Modular Munition System, to showcase integrated kinetic payload capabilities on its Group I UAV platforms. This content has been prepared as part of a partnership with Draganfly Inc., and is intended for informational purposes only. This event marked a significant milestone in Draganfly's ongoing collaboration with MMS, which began in 2024 with the development of a tactical multi-drop payload system. The Pentagon demonstration offered a national platform to exhibit the fusion of Draganfly's autonomous flight systems with Mjolnir's modular munitions—designed for ISR-to-strike missions and contested-environment survivability. The sit-rep from capcom Draganfly's UAVs demonstrated the deployment of the Mjolnir warhead, a lightweight, drone-agnostic munition capable of delivering fragmentation, explosively formed penetrator, and anti-armor effects. The integration of such munitions into small, low-cost drones represents a shift in how modern militaries may approach scalable, autonomous lethality. According to Draganfly CEO Cameron Chell in a media statement, the demonstration was a 'major validation' of the company's work in tactical UAV innovation. But while the event may signal a technological leap forward, it also raises broader questions about the trajectory of military automation and the ethical implications of increasingly autonomous weapons systems. The rise of low-cost lethality The LUCAS initiative reflects a growing interest within the U.S. Department of Defense and allied forces in field-adaptable, interoperable systems that can be rapidly deployed in complex environments. The recent milestone—Mjolnir becoming the first live munition dropped by a U.S. Marine Corps VTOL platform—underscores the accelerating adoption of modular munitions in uncrewed systems. However, this evolution toward low-cost, scalable lethality is not without controversy. Critics argue that the proliferation of autonomous or semi-autonomous weapons platforms could lower the threshold for conflict, increase the risk of unintended escalation, and complicate accountability in warfare. The integration of AI and modular munitions into small drones may make it easier for state and non-state actors alike to deploy lethal force with minimal oversight. Public accountability and the future of warfare While Draganfly's technological achievements are notable, their participation in LUCAS also highlights the growing entanglement of private tech firms in national defense strategies. As companies like Draganfly and MMS push the boundaries of what's possible in autonomous combat systems, the public is left to grapple with the implications. Who decides how these systems are used? What safeguards are in place to prevent misuse or mission creep? And how do we ensure transparency and accountability in a domain increasingly dominated by black-box algorithms and proprietary technologies? These are not just questions for policymakers and defense contractors—they are questions for society at large. About Draganfly Draganfly Inc. is a Canadian developer of drone systems and autonomous solutions. Draganfly stock (CSE:DPRO) was trading more than 10 per cent higher at Tuesday's market open at C$7.41 and has flown 36.75 per cent higher since the year began.

New Rumor About the MCU's Next THOR Project Could Mean a Shift Away From Chris Hemsworth's Reign — GeekTyrant
Aside from Chris Hemsworth's casting in Avengers: Doomsday , Marvel has been pretty quiet about the future of Thor. There has been some talk about a fifth Thor film, but nothing official has been announced, and if this new rumor is true, it makes sense as to why. Industry insider Daniel Richtman revealed (via CB) that Marvel Studios is developing a project known as Thor Quest , a title from a 2023 children's book centered on a young Thor's first quest to find Mjolnir. There's no information pointing toward whether the Marvel Studios project is a movie or a TV show, but potentially shifting the focus to a young version of Thor could mean Hemworth's God of Thunder might indeed be retiring the character after the next Avengers crossover. This, like all rumors, is just that for now, but it could point to a reason behind Hemsworth's farewell-esque tribute video that he shared last month. As usual, we will just have to wait and see how it all pans out.

How to get the Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin in Marvel Rivals
Image via NetEase Games. The Season 2.5 update alone has featured a lot of hero skins in Marvel Rivals. Be it the premium skins like Ultron X-Tron, Groot Yggroot, Scarlet Witch Immortal Sovereign, or the free skins like Golden Ultron, Mister Fantastic Future Foundation, the recent mid-season refresh has it all. However, this is not the end as Marvel Rivals has recently launched a skin for our favorite MCU superhero, Moon Knight, as well. Along with it, a skin for Iron Fist has also been released as well. Everything you need to know about the Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin in Marvel Rivals The Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin has been launched in Marvel Rivals on June 20, 2025 at 2:00 AM UTC. Moon Knight along with Iron Fist marks the fourth set of shop skin after Sunshine Land Shark Jeff the Land Shark, Future Foundation Thing, and many more. Unlike his typical appearance in MCU, the Phoenix Knight skin is quite different. Similar to the Phoenix bird, the whole outfit is themed in flame red and gold. However, this version of Moon Knight might look familiar to the OG Marvel comics fans. In 2018 Avengers #36, in an attempt to obtain all the powers in the universe by the order of Khonsu, Moon Knight acquired Mjolnir and the strength of Iron First to become the Phoenix Force. And the recently released skin reminds us of that version of Moon Knight. Now, how to get this skin? Unlike all the available free skins in Marvel Rivals , you don't need to complete any quests or watch any Twitch streams to redeem this skin. As it's a paid skin, you can directly purchase it from the Store tab in the Main Menu of the game. There you will find the Featured Tab where you should definitely find it and can buy it for 1,400 units. However, if you buy the whole Phoenix Night bundle then you will get the skin as well as an MVP Animation, Emote, Nameplate, and Spray, that too for just 200 Units more.
