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.

Npt that I didn't already suspect it, but this causes me to strongly believe there are radical islamists within our military.

1) The guards were asleep
2) The cameras weren’t working

That’s how it usually goes, right?

I’m guessing that some captain at Fort Campbell won’t be promoted to major anytime soon.

A link to the vendor’s page for this product, Skydio X10D

Cartel members could be a possibility. Crips/Bloods , China Spies or just a dumb ass GI. It’s advertised as EW resistant, someone may want to take a look at that and would pay for a sample.

Why wouldn't there be? They are everywhere else in our country thanks to scumbags like Biden.

Wouldn’t be surprising in the least. Why would it be, considering how infiltrated our own government is.

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

They are just standard high end hand held drones. Might have some sophisticated software. They are not warhead equiped. Thet would be done just beore launch.

Wasn’t in the military but I was DoD directly attached to the US Navy and yes things “grew legs” all the time.

Something like drones however, would have been under tight control at the facility I was assigned.

Even tooling. One incident that occurred was told coming up missing from the central tool room.

The “CTR” consisted of literally thousands of common and special tools.

It didn’t take long until the thief was caught.

I always wanted an 81mm mortar and a truckload of HE and contact fuses.

Look for a supply sergeant driving a $150K Hummer.

A bit O/T, but in the rare event that a Nike Hercules battery failed a Nuclear Surety Inspection, the entire chain of command was relieved, up to and including the Group Commander.

I was tangentially involved in 6 of those NSIs, there was some real pucker factor during those inspections.

There are many reasons to hold on to that info.

More of Jo Jo Pedo’s illegal alien “neighbor” sleeper cells he imported to America are beginning to go “woke”. Schumer and King Hakeem must be proud. Their Iranian brother sleeper cells are coming awake to **** up the midterms by attacking Americans on American soil. Hold on to your firearms. We’re going to need them.

It's also a good possibility they never left the facility and ten years from now a grunt will open a box and go, "What the hell are these doing here".

Yes there are radical islamist in the military, we’ve seen the results several times.
How do you steal four drones from a military base?

I could buy a $50 drone today and attached a mechisim to release a grenade from it. The hard part would be getting the grenade.

The drones in question are jsut high end drones that the govt probably spent 500% more per unit on then the market for them.

My city of Portland Maine is about to purchase a $45,000 drone. Most of that cost is in a three year software license and other extraneous stuff.

They could buy 10 off the shelf drones for less than half the price.
