Nah, Operation Irene, Mogadishu 1993. Littlebirds making minigun runs in support the ground elements during extraction.

They are going to be on five stars as soon as they pass the perimeter.
Same effect on a mass of troops like that, you'd just waste more ammunition with a greater rate of fire.
Wonder how they would go about stopping plane drones being able to access the base? Theres quite a few miles between the warnings perimeter and the Base but some of those parrot disco drones with mods can fly on for 50+ miles. There's a vid on YouTube showing a 98 mile flight for a modded disco.
Yes, that'll work...Because they'll just have Mr Alien walking around on the tarmac and Will Smith polishing his plane.
Pretty easily in the case of some parrot drone, something like this could work:

This is the US. Loonies there have access to worryingly large amounts of kit.
What would the military do if a few thousand ex military vehicles turned up (including a few working tanks) all armed to the teeth? Would be interesting to see what they would do there - presumably deploy planes from nearby bases...
Not that they would find anything. Everyone knows the real secret base is at Mount St Helens. The big explosion in the 80s was just a cover to get rid of all the excavated material for their underground lair, repeat with lava curtains!

I'm fairly sure they wouldn't just kill them all. Even in America
I think that would be an easier thing to deal with. If "a few thousand ex military vehicles turned up (including a few working tanks) all armed to the teeth" turned up, it would be an armed revolt attacking a military base, so unlimited force could be used. Working tanks aren't allowed in private hands in the USA, but even if they were then ex military vehicles and a few working tanks, all manned by untrained or barely trained people, would be outmatched by current USA military with current equipment. The USA has a lot of military and all the kit money can buy.
A mass of unarmed civilians would be harder to deal with, IMO, because it would not be politically viable to use unlimited force against them even if there was the political will to do so. It would be possible to massacre thousands, tens of thousands of them, but it would cause havoc. At the very least, the government would fall. That's assuming that the soldiers would obey orders to massacre huge numbers of unarmed civilians, which is far from certain.
However, I'm pretty sure the US military has a lot of tear gas, a lot of soldiers to arrest people and a lot of vehicles to take the arrested people away. I'm also sure that if there is anything really secret in Area 51, it's not on the surface and won't be accessible without the right codes or an unfeasible amount of explosive. They could probably just close the secure parts and let the numpties wander around in the desert until they ran out of water and/or interest and had to leave, which wouldn't take long.
Or maybe they'd build a fake flying saucer and leave it in a shed on the surface for the numpties to freak out about, just for laughs.

Probably wouldn't need to anyway. After the first few waves of loonies went down, the rest would probably flee.
Well it's not like they ban drones for no reason around that area. Experimental aircraft or something along those lines could well be in view.
They wouldn't... they couldn't coordinate any serious threat to turn up in thousands of ex military vehicles without it being know about in advance and various roads blocked if needed.
Thousands of military vehicles stuck in a massive traffic jam aren't going to be too effective.
That would be quite amusing
......*facepalm*
non-warriors in ex-military vehicles against the current actual military w/ actual military hardware. only difference from the original scenario's end result is you have more wreckage to clear up later.
