Remember when republicans lost their minds over a surveillance balloon back in the Biden days? Well, this kinda sounds worse...

According to the confidential briefing document dated March 15, the drones came in waves and entered and exited the base in a way that may suggest attempts to “avoid the operator(s) being located.” Lights on the drones suggested the operators “may be testing security responses” at the base.

“Between March 9-15, 2026, BAFB Security Forces observed multiple waves of 12-15 drones operating over sensitive areas of the installation, including the flight line, with aircraft displaying non-commercial signal characteristics, long-range control links and resistance to jamming,” the document said. “After reaching multiple points across the installation, the drones dispersed across sensitive locations on the base.”


Not to worry though, we have a daytime Fox News fascist running the Defense Department and a guy with an Associate in Applied Science in plumbing degree running DHS.

I'm awaiting the first lethal drone strike to happen in CONUS. I don't consider it an "if". Ukraine is launching short range strikes, originating within RU, against high value targets, so it will happen here also.

So you're referring to Iranian groups or sympathizers with drone launch capability within the US? Definitely would seem to be a good chance. I'm surprised it hasn't already happened. For under $1000 I'm sure you could put an IED on a cheap drone with a range of at least a dozen miles, triggered by a burner phone. I'd ask an AI about that, but I don't want to arouse any FBI suspicion.

Could be Iranian...or whoever, RU, DPRK, doesn't matter. America is pretty accessible and open, and a shooter is simply one more easy way that we've had problems in the past, but it sure could be a drone, which gives you much better range.

Barksdale is close to the Gulf of excessive pride. Blame Cuba. Living God Trump is looking for an easier target than Iran, for a quick "win".
