The Israeli Air Force is expanding its secretive RA-01 stealth UAV program with a second specialized hangar at Ramon Air Base, located at 30°46'45"N 34°39'52"E. This expansion comes as the U.S. Army is reportedly increasing its THAAD ballistic missile defense base in Israel, adding approximately five more launch sites to the existing six in use, according to information shared via X on October 2nd, 2025. The RA-01 UAVs were previously leaked in a U.S. intelligence document in October 2024. These developments occurred within the reporting window of October 2nd, 2025, between 2:38 PM and 3:07 PM UTC. The U.S. Army's expansion at the THAAD base, situated at 31°29'53"N 34°48'19"E, includes newly constructed launch sites in addition to those already operational. The exact number of RA-01 stealth UAVs remains unclear, as stated by the source reporting on the expansion. Meanwhile, in Yemen, videos circulating widely on Houthi-affiliated accounts show an individual identified as Rashid al-Haddad, referred to by media outlets as the “Hot Houthi Pirate” and “Timhouthi Chalamet,” performing a traditional Yemeni dance. One clip features him dancing near the beached Galaxy Leader, a ship previously bombed by the U.S. Navy and IDF. Another video shows him dancing with Yemen Petroleum Company storage tanks in the background, following an Israeli strike. These videos are being promoted as demonstrations of resilience against Israeli military pressure. This report covers a 29-minute period of activity. The previous report on October 1st, 2025, detailed KittenBusters exposing the Iranian APT Charming Kitten's targeting of dissidents. Another report from earlier on October 2nd, 2025, mentioned an IED explosion targeting a security team in Al-Turba, Taiz, Yemen. Additionally, a Cybertruck sighting in Tehran on October 2nd, 2025, was reported amid U.S. pressure on Iran.
