Alarm as US far-right extremists eye drones for use in domestic attacks
The Guardian ^ | 8/30/25 | Ben Makuch

Posted on 08/31/2025 4:06:51 AM PDT by Libloather

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.”

“the far-right American terrorist movement”

Huh? What an utter POS this clown Ben Makuch is. It would appear he had a podcast at some point dedicated to the “far-right American terrorist movement” Apparently far-right American terrorists live rent free in his mentally ill mind.

That far-right American terrorist movement, of which we’ve heard so much about but not yet seen in action. But they’re out there, waiting….

There is only one way to stop them: take away their guns, their right of free speech, and their votes.

The UK has a Deep State, too.

And a prolific enemedia.

If it makes you feel any better, I think Pres. Trump’s upcoming state visit next month is scaring them excrement-less.

A far left terrorist just killed innocent schoolchildren in church…. The far left media needs to mitigate this event with alot of “far right wing” fear mongering.

The only terrorists I see around in the US are trannies, antifa, and ms13. Maybe compared to an uber pure marxist like Makuch, everybody, even Stalin is “far-right”.

“Translation: Far Left terrorists are going to use drones“

This will certainly happen, but the good news is that given this administration, the crime will be solved and the punishment severe.

Not only the far-left terrorists but who know how many Muslim terrorists that came thru the Southern Border under Biden.

The fact this article getting published now indicates to me that an attack could be happening sooner rather than later.

...the far-right American terrorist movement...

Projection again.

It's the far left American terrorist movement.

Actually, it's just the left as there is only radical communist left left.

So, in addition to freelancing for the UK Guardian, he also works for PravdaKanaduh, aka the CBC. Yep. To people like that, V. I. Lenin was too far to the right.
