Last I’m going to say this believe what you want to believe but the US is not going to fly an unknown UAS or any known UAS (besides tactical drones like the Raven and Black Hornet ) at a low level over one of the most populated places in the world to “Pen Test” it’s not going to happen. It is a safety issue and is not very good operational security. Testing is done in remote areas (like Area 51) where if something happens the danger to the public is minimal. And anyone that’s ever been on one of these UAS programs will tell you shit happens all the time.
Flying at 1k to 5k ft only gives you a few seconds to correct before your millions of dollar airframe is taking a dirtnap. Like everything with the government Murphy’s Law wins everytime so you try and do what you can to mitigate catastrophic consequences. Another reason a lot of new stealth RAM (radar absorbent Materials) design are that off-white color because it makes the plane almost Invisible to the naked eye at an intermediate altitude.
The US government spends Billions of dollars not to be seen when doing ISR. This is the holy grail to any military flying at a low level above a metropolitan area is not realistic when it comes to intelligence collection.
@uforyn Haha I just don’t want to see it because I want to watch the movie with zero idea of anything it. I watched the first trailer and that was it, so I’m doing pretty good.
@MrAntiGrifter@TimothyAlberino@alotincommonpod Absolutely Nothing there comes an issue when you don’t let the gentleman respond cordially or cut off his response in order to spread a false narrative.
Yeah I definitely get the cost issue with that but Being on the frontlines of the digital battleground is exhausting right now the majority of the landscape of defensive only for us. The problem is though if a US company gets attacked by a hostile nation the resources available to them are all over the place. If we have a breach I need to report to the FBI IC3 if we had money stolen I have to do that and report to the secret service as well. A majority of smaller companies in the US don’t even have full time IT staff and rely on MSPs to do the majority of their protection.
Thats not even getting into The misinfo campaigns that come from everywhere and with people not wanting to be to do real research on their specific topic of interest it’s a real problem. Like the most recent push for boycotting datacenters, yeah there are legitimate concerns with Datacenters however most of them are conflated and if we fail to have the capability we lose to china period.
