Bird shot, special bird shot
I am a disabled veteran if shit goes bad my health will cause my death within a few weeks if I am unlucky, quicker and with less transition drama if I am lucky. Dying isn't the worst thing we can face.
That said as precursor to my ability to do anything means I am no threat to anyone
However...
In all forms of combat you don't fight the battle that your opponent would choose.
Aircraft especially US Aircraft have an amazing logistics tail this is vulnerable. At this time we are capable of supporting that tail even in foreign countries because of the stability of the US mainland. Without the US mainland functioning properly it would become particularly difficult to maintain force readiness.
The S.A.S demonstrated multiple times that aircraft suck at fighting back when parked.
I have looked at the map of how the fighting population might breakdown. Most of the Deep State left wing live in man made deserts. With fragile systems that feed them.
The mere breakdown of the logistics and systems that the US citizens depend on would create a mass casualty event in the US similar to that of WW2 in Germany.
50% to 60% conservatively estimated would be dead in the first year. A civil war wouldn't work like the last one. It would be societal suicide.
I wish for nothing but peace and time to enjoy my grandchildren and my home.
Jet model airplanes, the 1/4 scale kind...That cost 5 figures...can be used like a short-range SAM. Make friends with your local RC plane enthusiasts.
@@brotherbrovet1881 Probably good for reconnaissance but maybe not enough cargo capacity to disable an armored vehicle. And probably very few of them as well!
@@philswift791 Yes, man-made deserts, also called cities! Cities are institutes for the management of unnaturally large populations! But they will provide the left will lots of cannon fodder! Most large city dwellers live in crackerjack boxes with little space for supplies so they will be in trouble quickly when the food, water and energy stop flowing! The bridges and roads are easy targets for sabotage, sad but true!
If a militia style unit wants to survive against an opponent using military grade drones, the worst thing they can do is get geared up in helmets and military equipment and go LARPing off into the wilderness. The biggest insurgent problems in Afghanistan and Iraq was not 300 guys with RPGs and AKs roaming around the hills - Apaches cleaned them up pretty good as soon as they tried anything. What was a big problem was the small team of guys wearing civvies in an urban environment. Very tough for airpower to deal with that. That sort of threat becomes an infantry problem to solve.
Thats a nice nugget, I agree, I like the idea of just looking uninteresting, look like a camper or homeless.
Low intensity unconventional warfare... pilots have to sleep and aircraft have to land... like the militia conventional soldiers have homes and families and that makes them very vulnerable
Read "Wrath of the Windigo" by Clay Martin. Excellent read on this very subject.
Yep. Dress in normal clothes. Plates underneath.
@@kenreckless2757 Comparing a wide open desert to dense forests/cities. The middle east lost millions. They did not do good. They didn’t win. Do not be like them.
The tank has armor but the fuel truck doesn’t!
C-wire is a nightmare for any tank operator, it gets stuck in the tracks and can get clogged around the drive sprocket. No to mention, I’d hate to be the poor engineer that has to fix it.
The engine needs air, and fire is good at sucking up oxygen. A little campfire on top of the air intake would be a hell of a time for that engine.
The operators need to see, so electro-optics are kind of soft. At least in comparison.
The boys with the green headbands also have a pretty interesting way of dealing with armor. Just running up and planting a big ole boom boom on the crew compartment, or under it. Courage will win against technology.
Drones with some high speed chicken feed (ya get me?) strapped to them can also be a bad time for armor, if you hit the top of the turret and engine compartment.
Remember, you don’t have to blow up the tank to kill it. Actually, evacuating the occupants and repoing it for yourself is a sound strategy.

@@N3003Q drone pilot?
@@N3003Q Guess you didn’t know many guys in the Afghan Air Force. They had a bad habit of being shot in the head by a guy on a motorcycle as they were on their way to work. Drones don’t help much when you live next door to the opposition.
@@N3003Q Actually, there are “hours” in war like everything else. There are “hours” because it’s all still centered around “people”, and people need to sleep, eat, etc. People need homes and families. Soldiers need to believe all of those things are safe before they leave for “work”. A pilot of any country that uses a weapon of war against his fellow countrymen forfeits the security of his home and family. And everyone is going to know names and addresses because those pilots will undoubtedly work with someone that disagrees with the decision to use a weapon the taxpayers paid for against them. Pilots tend to think they’re safe as soon as the plane lands. That’s not how it works. That Russian pilot that defected and got his friends killed? They tracked his ass down in Spain and killed him there. The only thing the enemy needs against airpower is patience. GRAVITY dictates that those flyboys come down eventually, and someone might just be waiting for them when they do.

Why would you fight a military source with conventional weapons and tactics? You methodically go after the people that are in control.
Exactly. Best meme I saw about this was one where an obvious leftist said with a smug face "You really think you can fight the military with just your rifle?" and the other person responds with "I don't plan on fighting the military, I plan on fighting you."
The point of course being that the military and police can't protect everyone, everywhere all the time and those who support the government will all become targets.
That's very difficult though.
Been saying this for awhile. We don't need a war, just a few hundred guys with experience, equipped and in the right position at the right time. It could be over in a matter of hours.

Roger that! There is no red or blue. It's all about control.
I have a flir scout and have tested its capabilities for many years. It’s certainly tricky. Bought a cheap $500 drone, now we learn the ins and outs on that. My background is a RQ7a electrical tech from back in the day. The operators are all PS & Xbox gamer nerdy guys. Good guys but they’re in the box guys.
I have a scout also. Got it for my boat…in case of man overboard in low visibility conditions.

@@goodbonezz1289 much agreed
People generally like guns, and emulating infantry.
People generally don’t think beyond that central small arms/firearms hobby.
Most neglect cybersecurity, drones, explosives, knowing basic intelligence, communications, organizing, etc.
Even the Infantry isn’t just about having a rifle, basic gear, etc - it’s the entire logistical apparatus supporting the infantry to be effective.
Yes, logistics will make or break you! Can you imagine having to make a 'normal' living under SHTF conditions like a civil war?
As a USAF veteran who spent his time in service turning wrenches on F-111's, F-4's, OV-10's & F-15's, the idea of defense against air strikes has never been far from my mind.
Drones, thermal imagery & shit like that is new to this old man, so anything you can put up on the channel would be helpful.

That generator that you're using for the blanket is going to put out a heck of a signature

I don’t know. As an ally of America in Afghanistan, I can tell you every time we passed a US convoy, I couldn’t trust my GPS. All the visual tech is useless if the signal controlling them is jammed. Only one way to hide from a threat from above, dig a hole, and top cover. If it’s America you face, a couple of B52s can make for a bad day from way up there. And a B2 is very frightening.
Better question is;
Do military aircraft, have a chance against Guerrilla Minutemen?
Not likely.
Ask the V.C....."Dinky Dau "
So to be clear the vitetcon got their asses handed to them when the south fell it was not to the vitetcon it was to the nva (north Vietnamese army), a standing army originally trained by the French then the soviets.

Of course they do. Never underestimate your opponent.
The taliban seemed to do pretty good against them for 20 years before America run away with their tail between their legs..
PII means a lot and there's a reason the USAF protects it. We had families of B52 crews get threatening phone calls in the 90s during Yugoslavia conflict.
Nothing happened, but imagine if people do take matters into their own hands. You need not to look further than tactics of the IRA or insugent groups in Yugoslavia to deal with aircrew. Also, attack the infrastructure of the Air logistics system is another threat.
Yes, they can be defeated not in the way you think.
Can't fly without fuel or power 🤔
Kind of end times sounding… in the book of revelation. It speaks of swarms of locusts with stingers in their tails. I used to think it referred to helicopters but now I think it’s drones.
I wouldn't do that. No disrespect to your beliefs but this is real life man. Prophecy will only help give you an idea of what our ancestors thought would happen, not what will or how to prepare. Bare in mind our government can and WILL use your beliefs against you. Look into operation wandering soul.
@@ChadOfAllChads Like the rest of the Bible, Revelation is THE truth. However, the locusts in Revelation 9 are demons, not man-made flying machines. Verse 11: "They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon."
Yeah maybe stone age fiction isn't the answer. But you do you

1. These are cool toys, that are really expensive to make, supply, and maintain. The moment the Feds start shooting their own people in earnest, the dollar *immediately* collapses because other countries will have no interest in holding the currency of a country in a Civil War. They will have problems keeping them in the air after a short period of time.
2. Fighting the most productive people who make the wealth that you're taxing is a really bad long-term plan.
3. The ability and will of those the tyrants have neutered enough to support them is severely lacking, by design.

You say immediately, but how long in your opinion would it take in that scenario for both the government and civilian population to be impacted to the point it can’t be ignored?
@@jaredwilliams2357 The old Hemingway saying about how he went bankrupt was "slowly, then suddenly". Right now, the dollar is losing value slowly. It's only lasted this long because it's the world reserve currency. The moment that one actor on the world stage dumps the dollar because of a Civil War (and there would be many actors doing so), all remaining actors would drop it immediately (basically the same week/day if not the same hour) so they aren't the one left holding the bag.
If that were to happen, the dollar is dead, but it might take a bit longer for people to figure out what to do on the domestic side. But, don't be surprised if you wake up that day and you can't afford bread ...but your house payment is *really* easy to make!

The one major problem with hiding from thermal (FLIR) sights, especially when you know you’re being hunted, is Human Curiosity. People trying to hide will cover themselves effectively, but just can’t stand not taking a peek out of that cover. Your hands and head are HOT. If you peek out, you just set off a road flare in a dark room. Cover weapons with a blanket or tarp. NEVER have a weapon uncovered if you’re using a fire for heating or cooking. A rifle leaned up against a tree well outside the light of a fire will still heat up enough to be easily identified. Rocks are not your friend.
Without a heat source (such as being fired) metal barrels are not a source of heat and would have to be quite close to a open fire to get hot! If you're hiding, you'll still have an opening even when closed but a couple of well-placed mirrors away from your shelter would give you some lines-of-sight so you wouldn't be completely blind!
I'd like to point out there are tons of crazy engineers in this country doing some INSANE side projects in their garage. I'm talking railguns and microwave weapons. These guys got it in the bag.
If you have a property buy or collect old fridges, bury them door up, put glue on the door and dirt/brush.
You can dig deeper and knock the bottom out but a bunch of shallow hides, and resupply points, for a little sweat is well worth the effort.
You will never trick the sensor, you may trick the operator. If its a guy using a small screen, you may be able to get away with hugging a tree
Tree cover, or being in mixed temperature environment can trick the sensor.
@@henryc7548 I've seen thermal footage from the Border Patrol & they regularly lose people among trees, at least momentarily during chases. More than one has been able to evade and get clean away by sticking to wooded areas.
And though you may not totally fool the sensors, fooling the operator is most likely in any event...I mean, humans are in charge of the equipment & long as that remains true, the human factor will always be there.
Hope that made sense.
During the Finnish-Russian war, the outnumbered fins would attack the Russian field mess. Its was a soft target.
Read fry the brain
That did happen but, in the instances, i'm aware of it wasn't on purpose they were just behind enemy lines and would launch raids on nearby units.
Also, when being tracked by small FPV's in the field, if you have a shotgun capable of heavy loads you can shoot the drone out of the air if you have duck or geese hunting skills, or even trap and skeet skills. Travel with more than one type of firearm, it's worth the extra weight. Just saying.
you really can't hear them, actually. 100m+ up and they're silent. which is why the guys they drop mortars on so often have no idea they're in the kill zone. that's why they're effective. drones dropping frags have to close the distance because of the fuse, so they fly up high to observe, and after finding a target they quickly descend and then drop the grenade. those suicide drones are typically made out of race drones which zip around super fast. so when they get close you can hear them but by that time you're dead.

Drones with a infred light and someone with night vision on a sniper rifle and it’s possible to spot light a battlefield without them seeing a light, if they have night vision it would blind them.

The wise will research kraken sdr and its use in Ukraine. (SDR based radio receiver that can be tuned into drone/ aircraft frequencies to be used as a passive radar). Portahack SDR can then be used to attack it (by spoofing, or jamming).
Tunnels! Dig tunnels so you can disappear from one spot and reappear in another spot. The Vietcong did this and used it to their advantage.
That would require a great deal of physical fitness
A tunnel reinforced with a couple of layers of lightweight fencing material about 32" across, at least three feet below the surface, rolled into a long tube should support the weight of a average vehicle! Side tunnels could be used as caches. Place about a sixteen inch wide strip of heavy plastic above the top of the fencing material to keep loose dirt from filling up the tunnel. Don't completely wrap the fencing material with plastic as this would keep your tunnel constantly damp! A couple of inches of dirt on the bottom to protect your knees and if in a wet environment a perforated tube placed under the bottom of the tunnel should help keep it from flooding as long as that's still above the normal water table and you have a hand pump to remove excess water! One inch plastic pipes angled down into the tunnel will provide air and/or you could place balloons/plastic bags filled with breathable air in the side caches in case they suspect tunnels and try to smoke you out! Remember to zip zag your tunnel so anyone firing into it won't have a straight shot and you could make water traps in the tunnels to block smoke and blast effects! These water traps could be a simple as the fencing material turned downward in a 'U' shape and lined with heavy plastic so that the water doesn't soak into the ground! As long as you don't mind getting a little wet! The VC used similar tactics on a large scale to great advantage! Having cavities large enough for surgical hospitals and small theaters underground which was great for their morale! Carry a few chemical lights with you so that you're not crawling blind! If not in use, and no threat is visible, then occasionally you could (during daylight) fan smoke thru the tunnel to eliminate furry creatures and insects from taking up residence in your tunnel! Having a CO2 detector ten feet inside the tunnel on both ends would be a good safety item as long as you replace the audio alarm with a LED light so as not to give away the entrances to the tunnel(s)! Tunnels longer than 300 feet would probably require additional CO2 detectors! I do not know how the VC keep their tunnels (miles of them) supplied with air but I suspect that they had people whose main/only job would be to use hand pumps to keep the air moving in the tunnels! The VC did have generators underground in some places!

Only the woke can tolerate today's US military.
It was becoming that way in 2012 when I left the Army.
The fact that more people didn't refuse the clot shot in the past few years just tells me that it's only gotten far worse since my time in service.
My last year was the first in 12 years that they threatened an article 15 for refusing the flu shot. They are psychologically conditioning guinea pigs to blindly follow orders, lowering the asvab curve and weeding out anyone who thinks for themselves about anything and they are exploiting their personnel for the benefit of taxpayer funded pharmaceutical sales.
But to your statement, the majority of the veteran community is out here wearing civies and is only more increasingly disenfranchised with the gubment.
The military and police are not your friends
perhaps another strategy is to make decoys so that the drone wastes its ammo on them
Pretty much all drones have both FLIR and visual light cameras.

I wish the sun would "burp" and wipe out the grid for that reason. I used to be a technophile... Now I'm a troglodyte. I hate tech beyond the 2000s.
Sometimes I wonder if an emp isn't just a psyop designed to scare people?
You'd think someone would have used one by now if there was really anything to it.
If the government really thought it was a threat, they wouldn't base so much of their infrastructure on electronics.
Remember, car computers have been encased in aluminum boxes since the 1980s but a lighting strike on a vehicle will still fry the electronics and almost no military equipment is now truly mechanically controlled engines.
Why would you risk your entire logistical infrastructure if you thought it was vulnerable?
Maybe we’ll get lucky and it will vomit lol
Things like tanks fighter jets and drones are definitely hardened against emps
Parts for aircraft come in by UPS and FedX trucks. Last I checked, they aren't all that armored up.
Adress labels on the parts tell you where the repair shops are located.

It's called birdshot for a reason. It would easily take down a drone.
Energy levels, both persons and technology, have limited energy. Limited resources, limited pilots, limited mechanics, limited support crews. The buildings/bunkers where the drone pilots operate. The locations were the crews service the drones and repair them. The soft targets are nearly unlimited.
Cell towers, transformers, sub stations and high voltage transmission lines 🤔 they got nothing 🤷🏻♂️
In Ukraine rn we use an emergency blanket and put it over the doorway/brush and it blocks the thermal drone sights. It’s so good for that stuff. Zov.
Error 1... you can't simply circle a tree to evade a thermal drone which is circling you and hope they don't see your thermal image... as you move, you leave a heat signature which takes time to disappear. You should still try if you have no other choice but that should have been mentioned in the video. Evading IR in this manner is possible assuming that's what their using, and how would you know? 😮😅
My exact thoughts for a long time now. Also the logistics of funding and operating these systems falls apart as society and the economy falls apart.
Secret... you don't need to fool thermo cameras or any other... you just need to fool the human eyes 👀
Thank God there are people talking about this stuff. Also; let’s no let the idea of PSYOPs be lost on us, nothing will slow down ops more than a moral dilemma among the ranks.
About 10 seconds before you said the "who" I was thinking the operators would be HVTs with no chance for battlefield survivability.
If you live anywhere near any interstate or highway 🛣️ it has air space operational capacity, exposure trying to get to said places will lead to 💀.
Don't forget the VC's tactics, tunnels. None of those optics can see underground.
Take the fight to the airfields they gotta land sometime .
I can remember building drone runways in Bosnia, the one problem, no controllers there just the drones.
👀 Well, that is practical tactical, innit?
Pilots also have families
The disadvantage here is similar to the one Russian military hardware faces vs NATO forces. Our engagement range exceeds their detection range in most scenarios. Those of us with combat experience and knowledge of visual/thermal/ir targeting systems could craft effective doctrine against infantry or apc's or tanks or drones or gunships or fastmovers or satellites. But against a coordinated combination of 3 or more of the aforementioned, sustained offensive action would be a high casualty proposition. One more thing. I fought for our flag. I will not take up arms against it.
I also took an oath. However, when the government is taking advantage and harming the people you swore to protect, it becomes your duty to defend. “All enemies. Foreign or domestic.” We said that for a reason. Your duty wasn’t to our government. It was to the people of our great nation. Just my opinion though.
@@MrPrestonNB My 6x great-grandfather was born in the Colony of Virginia in 1680. 3 of his grandsons fought the British in the Revolutionary war. They fought for that flag before it even existed. It represents all of us. When the people are the government, a war against the government is a war against the people. The obvious solution is to elect better leadership, but everyone just keeps voting Democrat or Republican and wondering why things keep getting worse.
Leave the drones to the tech nerds, as far as jet powered aircraft goes, do not wait till "d day ", go out to airports days before, and with a slingshot, nice and quiet, lob some nice rocks into air intakes, go home and sleep well and wait till doomscday, or if it's entertainment you like, go to a disrance from airports and watch the take offs
Italian Partisans were veryvery effective using clandestine methods
Little bit of mud.
There is a video where they prooved that works. Had Predator in the title.
When I reflect back to the Vietnam War, the United States assembled a monumental Military presence in Southeast Asia.
Technology really began to come into play with guided munitions and Maverick missile's; ground sensors that were dispersed by C-130 aircraft to detect ground movement. There were part's along the Ho Ci Men trail, that it was routinely hit by B-52 strike's as well as other aircraft. That massive Military force were fighting against rice farmer's, and the rice farmer's eventually won.
It was just a matter of time itself.
COTS UAV's are generally using wifi band (2.4/5 GHz) frequencies and a few other R/C hobby freqs.
A TinySA Ultra or other SDR will allow you to identify the frequencies in use from the controller to the UAV, and video feed back to the operator.
A handheld yagi (directional antenna) allows you to fix a bearing on the drone or operator. A Kraken SDR will establish a bearing and likely position in real time.
If there is so much RFI at a higher power level than the UAV controller or video feed from the UAV, it's unusable. Cheap drones may crash, more intelligent drones may simply return to their liftoff site, assuming they still have GPS signal. Either way, their utility to the enemy is negated. Food for thought.
True, good point.
I saw a video A guy had a jammer in a truck
And it disturbed the airport
Fcc or whatever man had a device locator and walked strait to the man's truck
He bought it to hide the company truck from the boss he didn't like being tracked all day
What locators do people need,to search out enemies
What jammer do we need What locators do we need
Combat vet here. One thing everyone simply doesn’t want to say. In a civil war against the U.S. federal government, the death toll will be staggering. It won’t be “front lines”. It would be guerrilla warfare. Examples: the Vietcong and the Taliban suffered astronomical losses. But, who was left in charge in both locations after the politicians lost the will to win and pulled out?
Yes. You said it. Submission and slavery is what the evil mind craves. Not actual responsibility.
tbf the Vietcong did not take over the south and were utterly destroyed, rather the north did a standing army trained by the soviets. They invaded after we pulled all support from the south and their army mass deserted after not being feed or payed.
Genuinely don't understand why people aren't just making punt guns out of piping and just using IR to detect the drones.
Drones like those used in Ukraine have limited range based on the model and weight of package. Most of that info is online once the drones are identified. A little math can solve the additional power usage. A radius of likely launch locations can be determined based off of weather conditions. Electronic jamming is another and easily done with the right equipment and knowledge to build it. It's wild what is going on in Ukraine and doctrine for WW3 being written daily.
Lol ways to fix the problem
1 the crew chief can ground the plane.
2 planes don't fly for long. Pilots have families.
3 planes don't do well with holes on them. Planes sit on the ground a lot.
4 fuel trucks always sit on the ground.
5 some of the same things work on vehicles.
6 most of them don't have filters for ammonia. Get the weevils out of the biscuits
Just some ideas. I hope everyone remembers the oath and we don't need any of this information
An extremely simple passive IR-seeking SAM can destroy almost any military drone. You can make one with a metal pipe, raspberry pi/other micro computer, $20 digital IR camera, and a fuel mixture of sugar and potassium nitrate. Warhead is small nitrate based with small ball bearings or nails, fuse is IR proximity on the flight computer. One of these can fit in a truck while still holding enough fuel to ascend to U2/AWACS/etc altitudes
My goal is to hangout with Bigfoot. Ain't nobody gonna find me 😂
I was to the understanding that drones flown in Afghanistan were piloted from somewhere in Nebraska?
From an forward operating station, could be in a neighboring country or the US.
I fly aircraft. They have soft thin skin. It’s all about shot placement. Also what goes up must come down. Know that location, exploit those weaknesses and you own them.
Pilots have to sleep, eat and refuel. Just have to find where they fly out of first and just a guy or two can keep an entire airport grounded
I remember that one vid where a ukrainian drone scouted the russian AWACS in the air base. Even landed the drone on it. No guards no nothing.
(probably on a cafeteria break or during switch shifts.)
After the scout drone landed. It flies away and another drone with a grenade strapped underneath it dropped it on the russian AWACS dish radar. This is a huge information on timing,weather and possibilities.
(If anyone wanna ask for the video link. Just comment,i still have it.)
I haven't seen that. I'd appreciate the link.
Because an infiltrator probably crossed the border. The chances of a lone drone attacker are minimal in Russian territory, hence why there were no guards near the plane. I used to be an USAF AWACS Flying tech, and SF protects and against likely threats, not novel and new threats.
As a dirty civilian, I was just explaining this concept to my former Navy nephew and his ex Air Force roommate last night.
read free online story " Battle of Jakes"... planes need bases, they need fuel trucks going down roads, ammo, support, ..the cases are vulnerable as are the roads leading to them
Love this man's stuff but the comments are so full of acronyms ordinary folks cannot understand the lingo. We have our own language in my industry. I assume the customer doesn't know that language when I'm discussing something and explain in ordinary language, not laced with acronyms they don't understand.
Those thermal videos a great but ya failed to mention that mudd rub on your skin helps to hide overall heatsignature
I think the VC already answered this question.
If a signature can't be blended into the surroundings, change the surroundings. Create a ton of false signatures. Move with a herd of livestock, set out dummies, create false bases.
Do not fight a 1st world nation on 1st world terms. Take the successes of the MidEast fighters and innovate.
Also:
Drones have a major issue atm: telemetry, which can be spoofed, jammed, and triangulated. But, If a minutemen squad can quickly chart and load a flight path to a drone by wire so it can operate without telemetry it's effectively a self-guided ordinance right on the mark you selected. Other passive sensors can be used once the drone gets near it's destination. Some elbow grease and a few hundred bucks prototyping and this idea could be a relatively cheap yet significant tool.
So, attack an air base? I was stationed at MAG39 in the late 90. The thought of assaulting an airbase should be terrifying.
Why? Air bases don't have significant ground forces.
To an Army veteran who's an Iraq campaign veteran who grew up on an Air Base, the fact that you think it's terrifying, I find comical.
@@JP-ec9rl Well ... try it and we'll all see how you did on the news.
@@davidowens1424 you're straying beyond the point of the topic. If it gets to the point where the US military is hunting down it's own citizens with drones and civil war breaks out, it's not going to be about one man trying to assault an Air Base.
Your comment is as if you think such a facility is so impenetrable and so well defended that the thought of incapacitating it is outside of the realm of possibility.
It isn't. Air force SPs aren't really there to defend the base from invasion. They are there to keep the base personnel in line.
They'd be no match for a platoon of grunts with a chip on their shoulders. They could hit the base, destroy it's ability to put anything in the air and connect with communication to drones and exfiltrate long before any significant counter offensive could be organized.
It's a garrison, not a fob. There's nothing so terrifying about it.
It's not about one man doing something stupid without a good reason for doing it.
If only you found it half as terrifying that your government is becoming the fourth Reich to the point that we are even having this conversation.
It's getting to the point that they want to label anyone who points to the constitution as a "domestic terrorist". That should terrify you if your oath was to uphold the constitution. What oath did the guy behind the drone take?
Think the non millitay grade drones can be dropped by strong enough RF jammer, you can make a pretty powerful directional one or really powerful omni directional one, just don't use too often as you may not be able to have kids anymore. Will mess up the hired guns commo as well
Great points for the people who are clueless. People don’t know what’s coming.
I love rainy days and storm chasing
This is part of the reason I'm workin on a lab. We don't have the kind of guns it takes to have any hope against such large, fast, armored aircraft. Energy weapons are a funny thing though.
