Drones can be launched from everywhere [View all]

I would not be surprised if in the coming days, weeks or months we see attacks here domestically in the US.

These drones are small and can be launched from a box truck. Imagine that Iran smuggles some drones to the US , and setup a box truck ( easy to buy a used one or rent one), rig it as a launching platform, drive to DC and launch towards government buildings or the whitehouse.

Would our air defense systems have time to pick it up and intercept? Maybe those installed on the whitehouse but elsewhere, I am not sure.

Luckily for us, we can count on kash Patel and Markwayne Mullin to protect us
