🚨 WOW! There has been a -75% DROP in drone activity along the US-Mexico border Rio Grande Valley after the US military deployed a "high-energy LASER WEAPON SYSTEM" — CBS

Many of these same drones are linked to the CARTELS

Bad*ss 🔥🔥

The first use of this weapon to down drones was less than 2 weeks ago. The drones plummeted after that

SecWar Pete Hegseth and President Trump are MILITARIZING our border after Democrats opened the floodgates for 4 years 👏🏻

I voted for every second of this.

Thank you, President Trump!

Isn’t a -75% drop a 75% increase?

[jeffersondem]

The use of lasers to take out drones at the border seems like good practice and development for our military.

Hone the equipment and skills for use elsewhere defense is needed.

[DennisR]

Methinks so!

[SaveFerris]

No doubt

I smell hair burning.

A week or two ago, I heard that the Israelis now have a laser that can shoot down enemy missiles fired at them. I guess this means they shared that technology with the US?

[Secret Agent Man]

This is what falls under protecting the borders.

[TonyM]

Druds are bad!

Someone should tell the Brits about this. Maybe it might help them prevent all those illegal channel crossings. /S
