Netanyahu Reveals Anduril's Subterranean Warfare Push: Autonomous Systems Designed to Bore Through Earth

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has disclosed that Anduril Industries, the U.S. defense-technology firm led by Palmer Luckey, is actively developing unmanned systems designed to tunnel through the earth's crust—marking a significant escalation in military interest in subterranean warfare as a new warfighting domain. The revelation comes months after Luckey visited Israel in February 2026 to meet with Netanyahu and senior defense officials, discussing potential partnerships in underground combat technologies.
