China has bombarded US warships with drones at least 151 times over the last five years: One LANDED on deck of destroyer near Hong Kong, Chinese national was arrested in Pearl Harbor flying one over fleet - and drones of unknown origin snooped nuclear stockpile
US warships have been bombarded by suspected Chinese espionage via drones over the past five years, according to newly released Navy records.
Following a Freedom of Information Act request from The War Zone, the unsealed documents show US fleets were plagued by unidentified drones that appeared to be documenting America's forces in the Pacific.
Among the incidents included a drone landing on a US ship in Hong Kong, the arrest of a Chinese national flying a drone in Pearl Harbor, and another set of drones snooping around a nuclear stockpile.

A couple of squids on the weather deck with shotguns could probably solve that problem.
I think the Daily Mail wants World War III
“Tomorrow Never Dies”
China, too 🤔🤔🤔🤔
But not British warships
Ships have teams with anti-drone weapons (probably like shotguns...and others). The question is did one of these drone get captured and, if not, why not?
To be fair the US has been flying reconnaissance flights over China and other countries for years with U2s, SR-71s and spy sats, to think that other countries won’t do the same to us when the tech becomes readily available is not realistic.

Drones
You bet, their far cheaper and easier to use and the results are essentially the same.
Bombarded? Really?
Wondering why our Navy continually allow foreign harassment of our surface vessels.
To be expected. Drones are cheap these days and it wouldn’t be any great shakes to create some software that stitches together video feeds from multiple drones to get complete 360 views of the outside of any warship or base.
Could also use them to do penetration testing of electronic emissions, etc. This ain’t the 1940s.
They’re their there….
Haha spellcheck!!!
A cheap distraction as opposed to
Predator Reaper types of Drones .
