As Brandon says, buy a shotgun!
Let those boys and girls get up on deck and work on their shooting skills.
If no surface ships nearby, then sub-surface delivered. Their range is NOT infinite, especially the low altitude ones.
Could be ours. SEALs mighta been jacking the NAVY ships around.
All those containers on COSCO cargo ships waiting offshore would make dandy launchpads for drone swarms.
Just hit those drones with your radar. It will fry every electronic part in them.
The Chinese had a policy of one child per family. This resulted in most Chinese families having one male child. Now, China has way more men than women.
This has caused a lot of Chinese men to never have, well, relations with a woman.
In short, there are a lot of horny Chinese men.
These Horny Chinese men have noticed that there are women on American warships.
So, these horny Chinese men built drones to follow our warships around in the hope that they’ll get to see naked female sailors.
It is known as The Sneaky Peekie Operation.
.
Did it ever occur to the warriors to just shoot the drones down and examine the parts?
Or did they just wring their little hands?
Interpreting a news story nowadays is extremely hard, because of spin, propaganda and misleading facts. Are they spinning this story? Are “they” our Deep State, military, foreign adversaries or just sloppy reporters?
I have several questions about this story.
1. “Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Gilday later clarified that the aircraft were never identified, and that there have been similar incidents across the service branches and allied militaries.”
Okay, this is interesting. It includes allied militaries—Which allies? All of them, or specifically British, French, Japanese, Australian? What about non-allies and adversaries? What about merchant vessels and commercial planes? I ask because if this is confined to American and Allied militaries, it points to an adversary on this planet—not aliens!
2. The word “drone” is not really descriptive. I have a drone. It is slow and very noisy. The military has drones, and all of them have either propellers or jet engines. The jet engine ones fly high and are not really designed to make abrupt changes in course, especially at low altitudes. So why are these referred to as drones and not, I dunno, UFOs, tic-tacs, squares, etc.? Is the behavior really one of drones—controlled by someone over the electromagnetic frequencies—or something else entirely? The way it is being reported is as if they have a “mind of their own”.
Dangerous. Sounds like the sender wants to test our ability to respond.
Drones and robots, the soldiers of the future.
Why don’t they shoot them down and send a message to whoever is behind it?
Would not a focused 100kW radar beam fey anything in its path?
At Keesler AFB so many years ago, I watched the radar techs knock all the pigeons off a hanger that way. From about a mile away.
I just KNEW those "trans" were causing trouble. Sure didn't take them long to stir the pot.
Boy if you have a hard time with a bunch of drones how are you going to battle the Chinese or Russians?
Our drones...
Somebody is either screwing with them from along the California coast or they're being launched from submarines.....
Would sure like to know what was being redacted.
I can’t believe that our Navy is so stupid that they let them fly around their ship with out shooting them down.
Sounds like free emp testing to me
Why don’t the swabs put away their sex-change paraphernalia and shoot them down with their anti-aircraft missiles?
USN had better find an efficient way to dispose of the drones rapidly. Drones are the future of warfare insofar as future involves the uniformed military. A lasaer weapon might be the ideal response
