HeyEng Posted Friday at 07:15 PM Posted Friday at 07:15 PM I have been watching this development over the last few days with many European News outlets calling these drones over airports “attacks” since they are disrupting critical airspace. It’s hard to judge the size but they appear to be much larger than the typical quadcopter size of hobby drones! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g96gvql99o.amp 1

BFM this Posted Friday at 09:54 PM Posted Friday at 09:54 PM Next 9/11: drone swarms targeting airliners, first or second climb segments, most vulnerable. Simultaneous execution across a dozen or more airports before NAS can react and shut down. Clancy predicted 9/11 methodology seven years prior. 1

Just hit them on the taxi if you're going after airliners. Would take a small bit of explosive added to drone.
StoleIt Posted Saturday at 09:27 PM Posted Saturday at 09:27 PM I was at Stansted a day after Trump and they stopped all traffic for a drone flying around. Two Ryan Air went around and departures stacked up about 12 deep. I can't imagine the chaos if it was Heathrow instead...or a day earlier when POTUS was there. Sadly, this will probably become more and more prevalent. We will soon miss the days of only a moronic jet pack guy farting around final.
HeyEng Posted Sunday at 01:46 PM Author Posted Sunday at 01:46 PM The suspicion is that these drones are Russian but my bet is on FAA drones like the ones over Lagney and Wright-Patterson!

We will soon miss the days of only a moronic jet pack guy farting around final.By the time a 4th location has an airliner explode and burn on the runway it would institute a ground stop that would last days.We need to seriously think about how ready to escalate to mass casualties any opponent would be with us. 1-4 airliners full of injured people would overwhelm local response at any major metro area… for tens of thousands of dollars you could neutralize air travel across a continent if you were so bold to chose that as your method of delivery. Shutting down Honalulu, Narita, Ninoy Aquino for 72-96 hours would be a hell of a problem to solve while we don’t make positive movements to solve the other big one.
