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

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?
 

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


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.

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
 
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.
