Drones

we have a major problem in the United States right now. all these reports of drones flying in our nation. we could wake up one morning and find that the US Air Force no longer has the ability to defend our nation as their planes are just smoking wreckage. same goes for Civilian jets at airports around the nation. we could end up with only those jets on the Carriers that are at sea, the Navy would not likely allow drones near the Carriers. one drone i saw can carry over 400 pounds!!! we have lots of people from nations all over the world here, there are enough men from red china to fill out almost 4 divisions of troops. making a drone is not a hard thing and getting the parts is also not hard.

thoughts??

      So they caught one! Me dino has been thinking about all those too too many military-aged single Chinese males reportedly allowed through our open borders ever since I first heard
      about all those creepy dinner table sized drones appearing in night skies near our military bases.
      Yesterday I heard a brief report about a Chinese fleet headed for Taiwan.
      Me dino's imagination then came up with a coordinated attack on Taiwan with drones attacking our military bases while weak-kneed appeasing Biden is still in the White House.
      Hope it ain't so! Man, I hope that ain't so!

    In watching the news coverage on this topic yesterday it kinda looked like this could just be another distraction. Just got that feeling. Who knows, yet?

    Drones have been all the rage, in aviation and in other pursuits. I've never been a big fan. Many clowns operate them around commercial aircraft, endangering hundreds of souls at a time. I'm sure they're being used now to spy on citizens, monkey with American security, etc.

      Remove respect for our institutions, and we degenerate into chaos.

        I don't buy that implied causation. Most of "our" institutions are now evil, either because they started that way or they have been captured or corrupted. Trump says he wants to close some and reform others; I doubt he can do enough of that, but I'm for it. Certainly we should not respect the ones that are in evil hands. A government that denies our rights is a worse problem than chaos.

    I noticed a large drone flying over an area about a mile south of me. I live within 10 miles by air of Patrick Space Force Base.

      Actually, the most ineffective place to fly a drone would be over a military base. They could so easily shoot the damn thing down. To make max effect, fly them over electrical substations to disable the substations, fly them over airports causing disruption in airline travel. Fly them over busy roads to upset traffic. In short, fly them over high value targeets that have little defenses.

        Actually, our military bases don't have the ability to shoot down anything. When strategic bombers stopped being the primary threat, the Pentagon abandoned antiaircraft defenses. The only defense an airbase would have is a security police troop with an M4 rifle. The neighborhood old fart with a shotgun would be a better drone defender.

      I live in south Brevard county. I have wondered if there was any activity here. I have not seen or heard of any activity here. Could be dangerous during any space launches.

        I saw some big drone activity around 2 AM a couple of times around 2 weeks ago up in Suntree. I actually teach students how to build drones with GPS and photography, amongst many other things that I teach.

    Drones are being used with great success in Ukraine by both sides. Launch 100 drones at one time, and the government wont be able to do much about it. They could take down our grid, stop airports from operating, etc.

    This should quiet down when Trump gets into office. He doesn't put up with such B.S. or ineptitude in his military.

    Unlike the current president, Trump FIRES those who don't do their jobs.

    Clif High predicted this... LOL.
    Now, the question is if this is pure distraction, or a prelude.

    One argument is that these are OUR GOVERNMENT (SCAC/Secret) drones. AND they will at some point become threatening.

    Because they know. The first time we are attacked from "Outer Space"... The fear in the people will allow the checkbook to be OPENED WIDE... And they can continue stealing.

    Shame on our government for not putting a few drones above them, and dropping NETS on them.
    Those things don't do well with most nets!

    Also, drones come with software to AVOID being sent over military bases. So, these are not private citizen drones!

      Hello human , hello human. This set up , for their Hegelian Dialectic has been in the making for decades. Create a problem that’s causes fear and then the solution which would never be allowed , is!
