Trump shoots down cartel drones near El Paso after closing down airspace for 10 days

[Delldude]

There is no way that the cult can rewrite this snafu into an example of competence.

U.S. Military Used High-Energy Laser To Shoot Down Suspected Drone That Ended Up Being a Party Balloon​

The mistaken identification led to the full closure of the airspace over El Paso​

So where's the party balloon pictures?

Trump downs cartel drone near El Paso after closing airspace

The White House attributed the sudden closure of US airspace over El Paso, Texas, to drone activity linked to Mexican drug cartels.

The Trump administration has taken down a drone tied to a Mexican cartel after it flew into US airspace.

The incursion forced the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to shut down El Paso airspace, which spans two US border states, for 10 days.

Hours later, the FAA lifted the ban, noting there was no ongoing threat to commercial travel.

Glad we took the cartels drones down

Renjnds me if how xiden allowed China to fly their spy drones all over the United States…geez what a difference leadership makes

 

[struth]

Why am I not surprised? Trump never saw them coming.

Trump-era Chinese spy balloons went undetected

They may have been classified as UFOs, or unidentified anomalous phenomenon, at the time, reports say.

www.bbc.com

At least three suspected Chinese spy balloons flew over the US undetected during the Donald Trump presidency, defence officials have said.

The US did not detect the balloons at the time, said Gen Glen VanHerck, citing a "domain awareness gap".

Hahaha only yeah those Chinese spy drones that nobody knew about until after xiden let one fully cross the United States! Haha you dembots believe the most ridiculous lies

It's laughably futile to try to defend suddenly cancelling all El Paso's air traffic to deploy an advanced laser defense system to shoot down a party balloon.

It's obviously foolish to try.

Did some paranoidal Trumper suspect it was a vote-stealing Italian satellite?

Wehn something new happens it pays to be wary. Even in the last administration. We learn from that. What annoys me is that we have wasted hundreds of billions of dollars just on the last four naval vessel projects and got little for it with the exception of the Ford class carrier that we are forced to not cancel no matter what it costs. One of the others, the LCS ships we continue to produce out of contract and they are lemons. Anyway, we really had no way to shoot down drones cheaply. A disgrace. The military/industrial complex at work. Anyway, perhaps it was something more that national security dealt with. WMD's will come to terrorists of all types.

Desperate attempt at diversion entirely understandable.

A Laser Weapon Targeted Suspected Drones. It Hit Party Balloons Instead.

What would you be crowing if a drone or balloon was injested by a commercial jet and went in?

FAA Ends Airspace Closure In Texas, Says Flights Will Resume​

More like DOD Drones and NOT cartel

Trump should have waited until the cartel drone flew across the entire country taking videos and pictures then shot it down.

Have any pictures of the El Paso party balloon been release?

BBC released the photo of the balloon:

I don’t understand. Shoot down a drone full of drugs scattering burning debris and bricks of pure coke for kids to find at a high cost rather than follow the drone to distributors. Questionably blowing up a boat full of coke stopping one shipment with few low level drug dealer workers. Police work would be following the drugs to higher levels. In the formula of supply and demand this did zero to stop either side but raised the price thus the incentive to bring in coke

How cartels are adopting drone tactics from Ukraine

Cartels have turned to recruiting ex-military personnel and adopting military-style tactics to undermine the rule of law and control territory.

Can we cut them off now....... This isn't place worth saving.

Trump let 3 go over the US under him and then shot down a "party balloon". Nothing is more incompetent than that. Joe shot the one down like a boss.

After it had crossed the entire ******* country and collected all the data it needed.

Dumbass.

Another cult member convincing himself that 3 untracked and unknown balloons with unfettered access are better than one closely tracked and shot down balloon.

It wasn't revealed until someone picked it up on a telescope then it was all over the news. Biden had to back pedal the whole event.
