Taking their cues from modern warfare, the far-right American terrorist movement sees off-the-shelf or home-built first-person viewer (FPV) drones as a critical weapon in their own future war against the US government, which has American authorities on edge.
And there’s ample reasons for those fears: in the open and closed online spaces where far-right extremists congregate, talk is commonplace of how these cheap drones are revolutionizing current wars and will be the critical tools of a so-called second civil war.
“The use of FPV drones in the war between Russia and Ukraine, the use of drones by terrorist groups such as Isis, and the use of drones by violent criminal groups, such as drug cartels, give examples that domestic extremists may seek to emulate or learn from,” said Joshua Fisher-Birch, a professional analyst who has tracked far-right extremists of every ilk, for close to a decade.
“Groups or individuals could potentially use commercial or home-made drones for reconnaissance purposes or in an offensive capacity.”
Fisher-Birch gave the recent example of a neo-Nazi in Nashville who plotted to bomb a power station with a drone, but was foiled by police. According to Fisher-Birch, there is already extremist chatter observing how criminal groups use the drones as force multipliers against government forces.
“Pretty decent study on how [unmanned aerial systems] are being utilized by cartels, some good insights can be found here,” posted one popular neo-Nazi account on Telegram, attaching a military pamphlet discussing drone warfare to its followers. “If you want to know what a low-intensity conflict, insurgency, or whatever term we’re using this decade would look like, just look south.”

On this issue, good luck doing anything about it. The military (Army?) figured out how to make cheap little $500 quadcopters for target practice with 3D printing and again, the knowhow of electronics for the rest of it wouldn’t be hard for a person who knows how make and rig a bomb. Considering a very smart guy (he was evil too, I am not lauding him) like Ted Kaczinski/the Unabomber still had trouble making a bomb, I would imagine it is the more difficult. Also if you can buy an illegal bomb, an illegal drone would be easy too.
“take away their guns, their right of free speech, and their votes”
If it saves one member of a protected group it’s worth it, right? sarc/off
I’m curious, just what is the far right terrorist movement?
I think these limey journalists have it backwards. Those on the right tend to be more law abiding and hold back on using guns, explosives, etc until it’s an absolute must.
Whereas the lunatic left are the ones burning, shooting, blowing things up and most apt to use a drone.
They have to publish their false flags in advance, now.
Another raggedy ass foreigner just trying to stir things up in the only country still fighting for its culture, values and freedom. Benny can go shove it and his “Guardian” can too.
Is Joshua Fisher-Birch going to point out all the left wing communist terrorist?
You know, the ones who work for the New York homosexual Times, Southern Poverty Law Center, ACLU, MSNBC, etc. Those left wing terrorist are everywhere in plain site. /spit
I know the native Brits are rising up. This is a good thing.
Problem is that WEF horrible tyrant government they have. How to get rid of those monsters is the hard part.
They always tell us what they're going to do - except with these shooters there's always an element of suicide. The cowards can't just do themselves, they have to harm others in the process.
The old ‘far-right’ drama in the media for now but depending on who’s in power that could change.
I guess Benny the clown wouldn’t want to talk about what his Far-left ahos have down to America since the people elected President Trump as their president. Their attack on Tesla including the little old ladies who drove them. Their trannies shooting up schools and murdering children. Their “F” bombs all over TV and in our schools, their Molotov cocktails, their fires, their burning cop cars and murdering cops. Their American flag burning fags like the supposed pig “veteran” waving his worthless “bronze star” (everybody’s got one) while supporting foreign invaders against America, the American people and his “battle” against President Trump. Their thugs beating up the elderly on America’s sidewalks. Sorry Benny boy. You’re one of those willing to attack America with drones. Your far-lefties are already doing it. Pig boy.
Only the Guardian was able to prove that, for the left, there is no lowest limit to their depravity.
“...posted one popular neo-Nazi account on Telegram”
THERE IT IS. ONE POST...to back up the claim of “far-right extremists” being the problem. When we have endless lefties slaughtering kids.
Joke.
Worrying about the non-existent “far right” while trannies are the biggest domestic terror threat in the U.S.
Did not see even one such group named in excert.
“the far-right American terrorist movement”
The WHAT!?
:)
The recent tranny killers are “far right” but only in the sense that “far right” is understood to be national socialists who support Palestine and want to assassinate Trump and kill Christians.
From a conservative perspective the far right and far left are all socialists be they Nazis or communists, regardless of the inaccurate left right labeling system preferred by leftists.
“Translation: Far Left terrorists are going to use drones.”
Nailed it. That’s exactly what that means.
I understand that Bigfoot and Sasquatch will be joining forces with the equally mythical American far right extremist terrorist groups to mount their drone attacks
