Drones, drones and more drones!!

Just look at the raft of recent 2024 public reveals of aerial combat and surv systems like the ARMDC-20X to appreciate how advanced unmanned craft are. Also how big they are getting.

Mention drone and everyone thinks quadcopter / DJI or for military then the tv/film defacto Predator MQ9 Reapers but the reality is unmanned craft are now significantly ahead and much closer to BAE Tempest etc plus with relaxed stability. AI unmanned assistance means G Forces and rapid maneuvers are not pilot limited.

Very different specs and types of UAVs for different uses inc long-range & payload (prop & fuel), altitudes / speed (jet & fuel), close space maneuvers (multi prop & battery).

Trump Update On Drones At Todays Press Briefing: They are Authorized for Research​



Given that the FAA had approved the craft, how do we reconcile the Joint Chiefs’ statement that the FBI, DHS, FAA, and DOD were unable to identify who was operating the drones in December? Why the discrepancy in stories?

Official Representative for the Joint Chiefs of Staff (12/14/24): Right now, the FBI, DHS, FAA and DOD have been unable to determine who is responsible for flying the drones, and there's no indication that there are adversary nations involved.

"To date, we have no intelligence or observations that would indicate that they were aligned with a foreign actor or that they had malicious intent," the spokesperson said. "But ... we don't know. We have not been able to locate or identify the operators or the points of origin."
