Terrorist test run? 1 lbs of C4 on a drone could do a lot of damage.

It’s easy for me to say, but, can’t they shoot down drones in restricted airspace? Drones buzzing around can disrupt major airoirts, and then cause chain reactions through the air traffic systems????

Clearly the military needs some attack drones to take down this trespassing drones. Bang. Now we have a drone-war.

I live near Albuquerque, NM, and every year the city hosts a Balloon Fiesta in the north part of the city. This year the FAA issued a no-fly zone warning for the Fiesta targeting drones and setting a no-fly zone around the Fiesta launching grounds.

They had some equipment there that could identify drones via the radio signal, and trace it.

Here's a link to a story that tells of the equipment being used: https://www.krqe.com/news/balloon-fiesta/hundreds-violate-faa-s-no-drone-fly-zone-at-balloon-fiesta/1510662538

Letting the public buy drones was a stupid move.

There is an interceptor drone on the market that that flies above a targeted drone and drops a net on it bringing it down. But it’s way to cheap for government procurement programs.

According to the BBC, “Police said the drone activity was not terror-related”. If the Police don’t know who is behind these “industrial-specification” drones then obviously they cannot know whether or not it might be terror-related. Usual self-delusion emanating the British police.

On a related matter, apparently Germany’s Stuttgart airport is closed this evening a terror-related alert.
