They already have very advanced counter UAS systems. The coyote system has already saved a lot of US military lives and Anduril is stepping up the game to a whole other level. Counter UAS is probably the fastest growing area in the defense industry right now.Quote:

i need one of these drones to divebomb on a healthcare ceo in the street and then i will have a vested interest in whats going on.
Like you have some yahoo climbing on a roof and shooting Trump's ear and then getting eliminated. The rich kids we'll just go Columbine the $2,000 Chinese drone.
Technology is there, is humanity? AK jank s a dinosaur
Will the NRA get all bent out of shape when it becomes illegal to rig a gun on a Chinese drone? Bump stop bullshit it's like dropping your Walkman and unplugging your headphones while mowing the lawn. Archaic.
(above) zip tie! A gun to aa drone
Can't jam shit with AI bullshit. The days of buying postcards the gas station are gone
you good bro?
I guess the moral of the story is, if you live in New York or a mashole and like to rock Killington you are fucked
yeah I'm fine, I find it fascinating. It will be the new reality down the road. Once again you can't put the genie back in the jar. Bad people will do bad stuff, it will just be more removed in future. Possibly a second coming revenge of the nerds? Good night.Quote:

Praise Jesus and the Extreme Court. Your 2a regulars will be on here arguing how armed drones make us so much safer than unarmed drones. 'Merca.Quote:

And MTG is a dumb fuckin ho.
Most of the drone footage are a combination of not drones (manned helicopters and GA/Commercial fixed wings) or are little Billy's DJI Mavic from down the street or similar.
It's not a very secret thing when everyone is flying with anti-collision lights.
The possibilities on the rest:
1. Foreign - highly unlikely... if it was a single incident we could talk about a foreign power testing our response, but they wouldn't keep testing us allowing us to fully develop an understanding of their tactics and capabilities
2. Commercial - only if it was a test on behalf of the military
3. Government:
A. R&D you don't test secret squirrel shit over high population density unless you don't want it to be secret anymore.
B. Readiness drill: could be.. a Red Force/Red Cell/Red Op readiness test can be empowered so that the forces being tested aren't fully aware they are being tested to make it more real world.
C. Operations: pretty easy to make a cover story, but there aren't much in the way of national security domestic missions that need night ops across a state. What I'm pretty sure of is that this is not a NEST/NNSA op as some conspiracists have implied (ie certainly not a "smuggled nuke" that's total BS)
I want MTG to start shooting at drones and see what happens. I guess she can count on a pardon from Trump if she "accidentally" kills someone when she does it.
I am hoping our alien overlords are finally going to step in and save us from ourselves, just like in Arthur Clark's Child Hoods End.
