Regardless, it is very likely the drones use mil-spec electronics hardened against EMP.
Exactly right! The gangbangers are safe.
All during Dubya's years, Zero was probably lurking on FR every night watching us cheer on our boys while they sent Hellfire after Hellfire raining down on his brothers' heads. His resentment grew and festered as he dreamed muslim dreams of exacting vengeance on us. Slowly a seed formed in that little head of his, and he vowed he would become President of the United States by hook or by crook, mostly crook, and outlaw our precious guns. That in turn would drive us out into the countryside at night to bury our guns, much as his brothers had been driven out into dark fields to dig up theirs, whereupon he would rain Hellfires down on us without mercy. That's justice in the twisted mind of a muslim.
All yo gottta do is get a turbo charger for 20k with 02,
do a Spitfire wingflip or shotgun blast
- Is the Confederate Air force still around?
Folks will simply hide their guns.
Just more superiority chest thumping and propaganda tactics meant to cement a base of fear.
Not enough drones can be in the air 24/7 if 100 million Americans decide to carry all at once.
And their will always be a network of followers who will report where any drones may be h hangered.
Of course to roots of ALL of this is the paranoid delusional socialistic dictatorship afraid that the American Republic will resist its conversion.
Gloves are off, does not matter if they say the drones are here for the children or to protect the baby food factories, its time for The Drone Wars.
But target the Dronemaster first.
Then there will be all those miniature drones that look like and behaviorally mimic insects and birds capable of operating independently and in swarm modes ...
Using some form of hacking software could take over one or two operator-controled drones, but any drones operating in stealth mode, running silent, autonomously, and transmitting data in encrypted burst mode will be another order of challenge.
Suggest you all begin the putative party before things reach the state above (assuming they haven't already), else cancel and go along to get along as any would be dissenters will be pretty much screwed for a long time to come.
The “gangbangers” are going to be in for a big surprise.
Are you sure there are such drones that you post about?
Wrong, there will be plenty of desenters around.
This is so ‘off the hook.’
Look at the timing of this FOIA release...
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
If such high-tech drones do no already exist, they are definitely in the planning and testing stages somewhere in DARPA or elsewhere in the mil.
US troops have already been issued small hand-launched drones ...
If something can be made, then it will be made; having the political will to use it is another matter. Which is why threats from China, NK, and Iran need to be taken seriously ... Question is: does Barry and company have the will?
Rest assured, if we’re hearing about it now, they’ve been doing it for awhile. The only reason we’re hearing about it is because their secret got out.
Rather than trying to shoot it down, it might be more feasible to blind its sensor with something like a laser pointer. Of course this means trying to spot the thing.
You can get quite powerful lasers now, Class 4 multi-watt, right off of Ebay.
Probably not enough to seriously hurt a sensor, and if they are using longwave IR optics (8-12 microns) the lenses are opaque to visible light.
The biggest problem with using a laser is, it’s already illegal to aim them at aircraft (they intended manned aircraft, but did not specify), and painting a drone will pinpoint your location to within a few feet.
A homemade EMP device will be better, a high power microwave device even better, like a microwave oven magnetron coupled to an old sat dish.
