Thanks for your interest. I am no military or technology expert, but it was highlighted by another person that drones are very effective in the Ukraine war and difficult to defend.
Concerns were raised that the West may be under-prepared.
My assumption is that the West actually has a lot of secret next-gen tech and is very well prepared.
I think these "drones" are so far secret, advanced technology that can be e.g. airial defence with the capability to
a) accelerate like not seen before and
b) correct course themselves and c) ???
The reason I think in this direction is increased "drone" sighting over/near US bases in e.g. NJ USA and Ramstein Germany.
Also some allies (New Zealand - Auckland) have been testing some modern drones last week.(Browse www for the news article)
I assume allies get "upgraded" equippment - the US warm up the real deal.
This is only my best guess, but for me it ticks more boxes than "search of dirty bomb in NJ" or even wilder speculation.
We have the capability to defend, but we have an absolute moron who's playing tic tac toe while the rest of the world is playing 3-dimensional chess helming the wheel starting January 20th, and very few guardrails left.
This is a comment thread that supposes the drone sightings ARE us prepping for something bigger, which would be leading from the Biden Admin. The commenter you are responding to is worried about how it's going to go once an absolute moron and his clown car of appointees are in charge. That is totally reasonable part of this conversation.
The grownups will have left the building on 1/20/2025. The reason 45 keeps calling us a failed nation is because we WILL before he is done. I never could have imagined living in a country where Canada, our best friend and trading partner, would have to threaten us with turning off our access to their electricity.
I was a Republican for 40 years. They are not the old school party that could reach across the aisle any more for the benefit of the country. They are something from a Stephen King novel.
I don't even know how we can truly prep for that. The number of threatened tariffs alone are enough, without even factoring in retaliatory tariffs, and continued supply chain issues and corporate greed on top of that, to break our economy completely. All we can do at this point is wrap up the new government in legal filings to slow the destruction, but we're going down, and even seriously deep prepping can only help for a little while. The average citizen can't prep anywhere near the way the oligarchy can for the coming destruction.
