Four Military Drones Stolen from Fort Campbell in Kentucky

Four military drones were stolen from Fort Campbell in Kentucky.

In a post on the U.S. Army Fort Campbell Facebook Page, a spokesperson wrote that four Skydio X10D Drone Systems were stolen from the 326th Division Engineer Battalion building.

The Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division is offering a reward for information that leads to the conviction of those behind the theft.

The drones were originally stolen in November of last year, but Fort Campbell released information and surveillance photos to the public on March 11.

The Skydio X10D is an unmanned aerial drone designed with a modular payload capability.

The U.S. Army 7th Army Training Command, last July, used the Skydio X10D to drop a live M67 grenade for the first time at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany.

this causes me to strongly believe there are radical islamists within our military.

not belief, but how many. Don’t worry, as soon as DHS is fully funded, they will get right on it ...

“...offering a reward for information that leads to the conviction of those behind the theft...”

When did the military offer a reward for doing their duty and finding some stolen priority A equipment? I thought that was part of the job the contract has your name on defines.

In 10 years some grunt is going open some boxes and say " what are these doing here"

maybe, but more likely is there wated 4 months to tell anyone to buy time to figure out how to cover thier asses.

more likely, some e2-e3 took them for a weekend of fafo and cant figure out how to get them back on base with all the extra security going on now.

A reward for information on stolen material makes sense, your post didn’t.

When I first saw the headline, I thought of a couple of “hold ma beer” country boys, but after seeing the photos of the suspects, I don’t sink so.

The story doesn’t say anything about the controllers, which might be fairly hard to make.

I understand that, but I would think ‘potential danger to the public’ would trump almost all of those considerations.

“When did the military offer a reward...”

From the article:

“The drones were originally stolen in November of last year...”

This happened on taterhead Biden and that idiot Lloyd Austin’s watch....so offering a reward like it was a lost dog makes perfect sense considering how woke the military was.

Theft of military materials is always a threat but when I was in the biggest worry was radical groups stealing weapons, so all unit armories were guarded all night, it was during the era of near constant terror bombings in America.

-——” by 1971 protest bombings had spread across the country. In a single eighteen-month period during 1971 and 1972 the FBI counted an amazing 2,500 bombings on American soil, almost five a day.”-——

Supply would be my first guess too.
They have access to vehicles, can drive on and off base without too much fuss if they have a box or some crates.
Supply PO’s were usually shifty characters.

Evidently our Southern border may now be more secure than our stockpiles of military weaponry.

SNAFU has always been the operative term in the military.

I’m pretty positive it was two idiots that had access to the drones....only question is why.

I can’t imagine stealing government property just for a few bucks but stranger things have happened.

If not that then it was most likely for far more nefarious reasons.

Having been in the military I’ve seen my share of stuff that went out the gate. It’s like a sieve.


Having served in the Navy, civilians would be shocked what certain sailors would sneak off navy ships.

“...perfect sense considering how woke the military was.”

But since then there has been no word on the stolen items. My entry was that the military has become woke and shouldn’t be. And I’m sure Biden and Austin didn’t even know the drones were at Ft. Campbell. It’s not their job to know the inventory. That’s why they have people working for them.

The problem lies with the woke attitude of the people that are supposed to watch over and protect our equipment and he acceptance of things missing with a “big deal” attitude.

“A reward?”

Would you reward people for just doing their job? What are you paying them for, participation?

Slightly off topic... I wonder if US recruiting is like the UK police, many of whom are routinely hauled up before a judge on crimes of every description! Some crimes are VERY violent and heinous!

All you have to do is get an application, fill it out and mail it in. Bim, bam, boom...you gotta job. There's no vetting involved!

Does anyone still wonder where UK grooming gangs come from? 😕😠

Lol, yes, the criminals or terrorists who did the theft and the civilians/people they are interacting with and exposing themselves and their activities to, may crack for a reward.

Do you think the reward is for the law enforcement investigators? What in the world are you talking about?
