Trump Is a MENACE to National Security. When Drones Are Flying Over Our Largest B-52 Bomber Base, TO HELL WITH JAMMING. SHOOT the F*CKING THINGS DOWN!

The home of the US Air Force's nuclear bomber fleet was repeatedly invaded by a swarm of mysterious drones that could not be stopped by the military's jamming technology.

Officials at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana confirmed to the Daily Mail that the base detected 'multiple unauthorized drones' entering restricted airspace between March 9 and March 15.

The first incident involving a single 'unmanned aerial system' triggered a shelter-in-place order and terror alert amid reports from the FBI of potential drone attacks on US soil.

However, an internal military briefing document has reportedly revealed that later incidents involved swarms of 12 to 15 drones entering the base's no-fly zone.

The drones were described as being long-range devices using special signals that are not used by regular consumer drones. Moreover, they were reportedly able to resist attempts to jam or block the signals controlling the unmanned aircraft.

And SecDef Hegseth needs to stop looking at this as a law enforcement issue, threatening higher fines.

BLAST THE F*CKING THINGS OUT OF THE AIR instead of hoping to later catch who is flying them.

Yeah cut them down out of the air. Yet do more surgically instead of totally destroying them. They need to find out just how these things can't be jammed. Then take counter measures.

If a drone isn't receiving a signal to direct it to a target and doesn't have to rely on terrain, there is likely nothing to jam.

@beckyromero then it's not a drone, it's an AI. Yet even AIs require a signal. There's not a computer network on any aircraft.

We don't know what direction(s) they were flying in. We don't know where they went. But drones can also be launched with a simple line of sight straight line with a timed explosive. Think of it as a faster balloon set off in the direction of the wind. Or a paper airplane.

My point is don't take a chance. Blow them out of the sky!

@beckyromero I still say disable it. Obviously it didn't blow up anything.

There is a possibility of it running off the GPS. That needs to be jammed from above. Not from the ground.

@DeWayfarer

Obviously it didn't blow up anything.

Next one might.

@beckyromero "Might" is not a certainty.

Someone with a gun "might" shoot the gun. You would justify ICE reasoning for killing with that logic.

We are not in a war situation... yet!
