Pentagon lacks counter-drone procedure leading to incursions like at Langley, experts say
Story by Morgan Phillips • 1h

Mystery drones over US military base had to be from nation-state actors, Chuck DeVore says
New reporting about over a dozen unidentified drones that were allowed to fly over Langley Air Force Base has prompted fresh calls for change to a threat that experts say will only become more prevalent.

For more than two weeks in December 2023, the mystery drones traipsed into restricted airspace over the installation, home to key national security facilities and the F-22 Raptor stealth fighters.
 
Experts say the incident is likely one of many that U.S. authorities are underprepared to tackle in an evolving threat environment.

Lack of a standard protocol for such incursions left Langley officials unsure of what to do – other than allow the 20-foot-long drones to hover near their classified facilities.

The Pentagon has said little about the incidents other than to confirm they occurred after a Wall Street Journal report this month. Whether it knows where the drones came from or what they were doing is unclear.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It would seem our enemies are aware of this already. 888sunglass

They didn't shoot down a Chi-com spay balloon ... why would they shoot down a drone which is more difficult to target?
