And military folks are coming to the realization that one of the best anti-drone weapons is a plain old shotgun and #4 shot……… Might want to add one to your arsenal if you don’t have one.
Drone can be flown high enough for surveillance with no chance of being hit. Or heard. Or seen.
At this point I consider a computers to be weapons of mass destruction. Drones are just a high-tech version of a Peeping Tom and will be treated the same.
Spot on and the real danger, if you don’t know danger is close……..
I have a small DJI drone, I don’t care what kind of shot you are but there’s no way you are going to be able to hit that thing with any kind of consistency… maybe you’ll get a very lucky shot in every 100th attempt or so. And that’s assuming you already know it’s coming and – more importantly – you’re sitting there with your shotgun at the ready, with a drum magazine loaded up with #4 shells. You’ll hear it way before you see it and then it would be too late.
And the drones used in Ukraine are much faster and more maneuverable than my drone. Check out some of those videos of those unfortunate Russian and Ukrainian guys trying to defend against them… not an easy thing to do.
One thing that I know can take my drone down is a flock of birds, particularly swallows… they’re drawn like magnets to it. You would be better off getting a bunch of birds.
What goes up must come down surveillance blue hair blue helmet same effect!
Unfortunately we have to fear government drones FAR more than any used by the PANTIFA pussies…
I’m not selling any guns. I think Bracken is overstating the threat and is conflating Antifa with the state level drones and operators in the Ukraine. The blue haired antifa 10 miles away probably has no idea what is happening and who is friend or foe within 2 miles except for the most demonstrative Trump supporters. What is the point of flying a drone further than that if you cannot identify what you are looking at aside from rooftops and trees? Antifa has the same problem we do, they need to gather and develop intelligence on 1000’s of people within 25 miles and act on it before it is no longer valid. Recon drones can help nail down details on specific known targets, but there is a risk of alerting the mark in the process. Nation state militaries have full spectrum radio-electronic ISR capabilities to build up known and suspected target lists. Low end partisans of any stripe do not.
Explosives and detonators do not grow on trees either. Any fool can buy and fly a drone. It takes significantly more effort to experiment with and drop something on target that goes boom when you want it to. Impact detonation for a suicide drone consumes both the drone and the explosive payload. Simply put, it will take some work to get proficient, and that means everyone they intend to use as a drone pilot. The other half of the problem is the explosives procurement, handling, and manufacturing. That is a dedicated specialty logistics role in any sustained fight. Mistakes made with repurposing/manufacturing/arming explosives and detonators will wipe out your Antifa cell faster than any gunfight would. The precursors for home grown can be fairly common, but there is no super abundance either, and the expertise is not a widely held skill.
I cannot foresee the level of attack drone activity as displayed in Ukraine being conducted in any sustained way by irregular forces in irregular conflict. The limited numbers that irregular organizations can produce will be held back for critical targets. If Antifa wanted to burn out every republican farm in the county, it makes much more sense to deliver incendiaries by hand despite the risks. The operational complexity, cost, expertise, and production limitations are too much to overcome.
Purely recon drones are another matter, and in that context I agree with the advice. The defensive countermeasures that work for nuisance hobby drones and recon drones will work for most attack drones too. The fiber optic versions are only available to nation states for the time being
go to the Gunshop and ask who’s been buying guns and ammunition in the last three years. Ain’t yer good ole boys, it’s been gang members looking types and anti-fart blue and green hairs buying shit up. Take warning from that. They are us with a different view of the world, and it ain’t our view. View all forms of weapons from pew-pews to drones as a force multiplier.
Wrong. Never sell a gun. add to your repertoire. my grandson has been expert at drone since 2021.
It could come down to hunting down the commies and putting them down in their own communities.
start now for the advantage?
Drones for surveillance ? Yes. Drones for offense ? Not right now.
I consider drones for surveillance a lot like a Peeping Tom and will be treated the same.
you can always mount a drone with you know what and fly it straight into there terrorist antifa/BLM blue haired freak protests.
Worked for the Ukes at a certain Russian air base destroyed two old planes, but still did the job. Think of your drone as a high perimeter claymore!
Weather warfare is the crown jewel of the military industrial complex. A country, state or city can be under attack and the citizens don’t even know. It can be blamed on Mother Earth, [insurance company says an act of God,] or climate change. Drought like conditions in one area, scorched earth making the land a tinderbox for wildfires. Flooding going on in other areas. Crop failures in both scenarios. No food no people. For anyone new to this topic, geoengineeringwatch.org with Dane Wigington
Word. Think Pacific Palisades, CA and Lahaina, Maui, HI. I would also add the Paradise, CA fire and the ones which swept through certain sections of Napa and Sonoma Counties in CA about 10 years ago. DE technology has been around for close to 20 years. And never, ever, forget HAARP. Sporty times are upon us. Bleib ubrig.
Thank you for replying. Hurricane Helene is another one. I sent a letter to the editor of a local newspaper in TN. They decided to toss it into the trash bin of history. I didn’t renew my subscription.
Another site (a prepper site) has been prominently showing all the flooding, odd hail storms, hurricane force winds and anomalous weather around the globe.
“Drones have a learning curve. Don’t think that you will be able to be proficient without practice.”
On that note, there is the makings some force on force drilling to exercise the key skills involved in drone recon and counter drone defense.
-Key skills for the drone operator is obviously flying and map reading.
-Key skills for defense are more complex. a full set of radio skills to include the high end technique of radio direction finding, and highly developed map and compass skills.
-The offense will need a drone and maybe a radio to co-ordinate.
-Defense needs at least one RDF team, but 2 is much better. The need multiband transceivers, directional antennas, maps, compass, protractors. A portable spectrum analyzer such as the Tiny SA Ultra or a dedicated drone frequency detector.
The main drill is for the drone team to oppose the 2 (ideal) RDF teams in tactical terrain. The drone pilot is exercised in the flying and trying to identify the RDF teams. The RDF teams must operate a reasonable distance apart and their task is to identify the location of the drone operator. He must usually stay at a launch location to recover the drone. The RDF teams identify the drone control frequency, then RDF it. They must co-ordinate compass bearings on the RDF azimuths from each team to determine where the drone operator is located, (which is where the two lines intersect.) They need to be able to work these skills rapidly and share dangerous location information over the air unless a deliberate drone ambush is set up from 2 fixed RDF locations that are known to each RDF team. Then only one team needs to transmit an azimuth for maximum comsec and relate the target coordinates to the kill team to find the operator.
This type of training can and probably should be modified to be simply RDF “foxhunting” to get the RDF skills down. The map and compass skills should always be utilized and GPS should be avoided. In the real world, this skill set will allow you to stay alive when enemy drones are in use, and find/kill the operator or jam the drone frequency if that is desired. The same RDF method can locate OPFOR using HT radios of most any type. You can do this almost anywhere there is reasonable open space.
Great and informative comment, thanks! Most aren’t even thinking RDFfing in commo let alone in tactical coupling with search and recon by drone.
Maybe even invest in some jamming equipment. For starters, hold onto those old uWave ovens. Jammer on the fly: coffee can (any size), hole drilled into the center bottom, mount spark plug (preferably a non-resister type), tap into the #1 spark plug of the car engine, start engine. Do not mount behind the car grill and use for jamming traffic radar. If caught with said device, it could lead to much trouble!!!
From Google: “Spark plug noise in a radio, often heard as a popping or buzzing sound that increases with engine speed, is caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the ignition system.
The high-voltage spark plugs create a broad spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies when they fire. These frequencies can travel through the air and interfere with radio signals, causing the static or buzzing.”
is the frequency scan and matching technology?
future: drones, that was China fifteen years ago to the US public. Freakin’ chinks what the hell they know? (before y’all get defensive 1/4 chink here and proud to say so) Ukraine has provided ample proof of concept and tactical use. Matt’s right drones, numerous drones of different capabilities.
