Daily Mail:

A man threatened to kill his cousin and harm her family after she decided to stop wearing the traditional Muslim headscarf, a court has heard.

Mohamed Al-Hakim, 29, allegedly phoned Alya Al-Safar to tell her she must die because of the ‘shame’ she had brought – leaving her too afraid to leave the house.

He had already branded her family ‘bitches and whores’ because of her decision, the court heard.

...
The trial continues. Apparently a tape of the threats have been put in evidence. I am not sure where this weird concern about women's hair comes from, because not all Muslim women cover their hair and there is apparently nothing in the Koran about doing it. The Iranian religious bigots require a scarf to cover a womans hair because of alleged sex rays emanating from the hair. That sound to me like some males have a hair fetish and can't control their impulse to force a woman to have sex with them. It is certainly a strange culture.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
