Connecting the dots – first Trump assassin used a drone for surveillance, second shooter was in Ukraine, FPV drones have been modified in Ukraine to carry weapons including thermobaric flamethrowers

FPV drones are widely used on the battlefields of Ukraine:

From Brave in response to “the use of FPV drones as weapons”

“FPV (First-Person View) drones are increasingly being used in warfare, particularly in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. These small, low-cost drones have proven to be a formidable asset on the battlefield, with precision targeting capabilities and affordability.

Key Features

· Explosive charges: explosives weighing up to 4.5 kilograms, which can effectively attack small, moving targets such as motorcyclists, individual soldiers, cars and even tanks.

· Precise Targeting: FPV drones can hit enhanced targets that snipers with traditional weapons cannot.

· Limited range: typically up to 10 kilometers, which may limit performance at night or in adverse conditions.

· Lower quality cameras: May affect low-light performance.

In Ukraine, FPV drones have been used to attack Russian troops. There are reports of a Russian FPV drone pilot killing over 300 fighters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon

“A thermobaric weaponalso called a aerosol bombor a vacuum bomb,⁽¹⁾ is a kind of explosive ammunition that works by the spreading of an aerosol cloud of gas, liquid or powdered explosive.⁽²⁾⁽³⁾ The fuel usually consists of a single compound, rather than a mixture of several molecules.⁽⁴⁾ Many types of thermobaric weapons can be mounted on hand-held launchers,⁽⁵⁾⁽⁶⁾ and can also be launched from aircraft.”

“The Ukrainian military has begun deploying drones equipped with thermite charges, effectively transforming its deadly fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into powerful ‘flamethrowers.’”

The Ukrainians have developed thermobaric FPV drones that are being sent into Russian trenches in Ukraine to “roast” troops. From Brave “Thermobaric weapons can reach temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius by igniting a fuel-air mixture.”

Brave response to “Ukrainians mount machine guns on FPV drones”

According to recent reports, Ukrainian military has tested the integration of machine guns, specifically the RPG-18 grenade launcher, on First-Person View (FPV) dronesThis development is aimed at improving the capabilities of drones for military operations.

There have been no official reports of successful Houthi drone attacks on US warships.

The first shooter used FPV drones to monitor the Trump rally a few months ago. The Secret Service and local law enforcement did not.

A courageous response to the question of whether the Houthis would use drones in an attack on Saudi Arabia

“These attacks demonstrate the Houthis’ increasing capacity and willingness to use drones to target infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, and underscore the ongoing conflict and tensions between the two sides.”

Drones are used almost as much in the US.

Courageous response to ‘Mexican drug cartels use drones’

1 “Mexican cartels use drones

Mexican drug cartels have used drones in a variety of ways, including:

· Drug smuggling:Cartels use small, autonomous drones or remote-controlled aircraft to transport drugs across borders.

· Supervision:Drones equipped with cameras and sensors are used for reconnaissance, monitoring border patrols and keeping an eye on the activities of rival cartels.

· Fight:In some cases, cartels have used drones to drop explosives or bombs in territorial disputes or in attacks on rival groups and communities.

· Assistance with human trafficking:Cartels also use drones to escort migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, monitor border patrols, and facilitate illegal human trafficking.

Courageous response to “how many Ukrainians have illegally crossed the US border”

According to the BBC (November 17, 2023), authorities in Ukraine’s neighboring countries reported that about 19,740 Ukrainian men crossed their borders illegally between February 2022 and August 31, 2023.”

There must have been many more that Zelensky would have liked to have on the 1,130-kilometer front in Ukraine over the past year!

The second shooter had recently been to Ukraine.

How many Ukrainian sympathizers and illegal Ukrainian immigrants have the motivation and expertise to arm an FPV drone to attempt another assassination on Trump — and, of course, to retaliate against Democratic Party politicians?

And then someone else for whatever reason? In the US, Planned Parenthood or Hamas protests or Free the Republic rallies?

There will need to be a FPV or similar drone registry and a “ban the drone” movement? Do Americans have the right to own and operate drones?

Drone technology is developing rapidly.
