TLDR: This is how we could become Lebanon.

Brother, if huge numbers of Mexicans start blowing up American citizens, Mexico will be the ones who end up like Lebanon.

OMFG the one in Pennsylvania pisses me off so much. Every time a million people get killed in real Lebanon I try to look it up and just find out what the weather is there.

I am honestly really shocked we don't see instances of drone terrorism. I mean not to fed post but you could strap a rocket propelled grenade to a souped up fast fpv drone, set it down and in like 50 seconds clear the white house lawn and all defenses and fly straight into the oval office. Even if it doesn't harm anyone that is one heck of a message if you are a part of a terror cell lol

I was gonna say getting a working RPG warhead is probably the hard part, but in the US probaby not
I'd be shocked if the US didnt have radar and jamming equipment (and most likely kinetic defenses) installed around the white house though. You cant permanently GPS&wifi jam the center of D.C., but you can install small radars around the white house to detect drones and have the jamming equipment activate when a drone enters the WH grounds. That pretty much only leaves fibre-optic wire guided drones like we've started seeing in ukraine, but theres alao been tons of different kinetic defenses developed against sUAS and I'd be surprised if the SS
doesnt have a couple different ones ready at the WH.
Then again, given
maybe im overestimating the glowies. Imagine if that dude had used a drone.
But WH and other high-security places aside, im also really surprised we havent seen weaponised drones used more outside of warzones. Theyre so cheap and easy to get, and sticking a few grenades worth of ANFO and nails to it is so trivial, I would expect even street gangs to use them instead of drive-by's (outside of the "street cred" element of drive-by's

The ear shooter literally flew a drone around before he climbed up on the roof

The problem is that would bring in way more attention from the feds, and the very few hood BIPOC smart enough to use a drone are also smart enough to think about this

Fair point.
I was thinking that drive-by's probably have a sort of "cultural significance" to hood neighbors, and doing them is at least as much about proving to your gang that youre commited enough to do one, as it is about hitting the target. That is if they're planned at not "spur of the moment" decisions brought by BIPOCs' famous self-control...

cUAS is actually a really big industry, it would be harder than you realize

Yeah it's a big industry in that a ton of money is being shoveled into military contracts but it doesn't look like there are any systems that are mature enough to really work.
Half of them are glorified net guns and the other half a bulky laser systems that seem basically entirely theoretical atm
