Whats your choice of powpow in drone attack for real my brother just saw 50

Paintball guns. Fires tons of rounds and you will mess up their optics and nobody gets hurt down range.

You could also write it off as just a childish prank when the men in black show up.

Hypothetically of course.

This article may be an APRILS FOOLS JOKE, since it was published on April 1st 2013 and at the bottom it says, "April Fools."

This would work. Now I just need to make one fired from a 40mm

I personally wouldn't shoot at these drones as the occupants might shoot back. Rule of thumb, know what your target IS , before you pull the trigger. Just a warning

JMO, I think our govt is testing these things, as well as testing defense against them. We are not seeing what is going on behind the curtains.
Otherwise there wouldn't have been a classified briefing about it with congressional leaders.

How about flying a smaller/cheaper drone into the larger drone's propulsion system? Harder to pinpoint the source of the attack on the larger drone I would think?

Everyone is so enamored by all these drones. Maybe we should be questioning all the strange orbs instead of the drones.
Look it up.

It's not light. However, it not being bullet proof isn't the problem. They have cloaking tech, they move very fast, and they are at altitudes that are outside your effective range. Not to mention some ours have crazy angle of attacks.

I can only speak the Iranian ones we've come into contact with, and that is if "they attack" they carry a payload of missiles on the larger ones, not much different than our predator drones. You're not going to stand there and live through it.

Other drones like the arash 2 are kamakazi type drone with a warhead payload.

There are essentially unmanned mini planes.

My son worked for General Atomics. They make the Reaper. He worked at Fort Irwin near Barstow, Ca. He trained Army personnel how to call in drone strikes. They have 5 mock villages there in the desert. All they tanks and vehicles involved have nodes on them. He sat in a room tracking them on computer and communicating with them to call in strikes. Some of the villages are built like Iraq/ Afghanistan. Live fire with AH Apaches and M1 Abrams.
I believe Northrop Gruman makes the big Global Hawk. He works for Lockheed/Space Force now at Peterson Airforce Base in Colorado Springs. I guess all the XBox/Playstation video games paid off

My brother just saw 50 car sized drones in Loganville Ga on dec 19 .They were all up and down the hwy and as low as the top of powerlines for many miles .He was totally shocked snd so was his wife and son .These are as big as cars.I was wondeting what you would use in a drone attack I think 223 is too small and 308 would be minium .You would have to have lighted crosdhaiirs too for night times .These things are well lit .I dont even know of buckshpt would work but slugs might not be fast enought .I am totally serious yall lots of people seeing them all over the country .I think 416 rem mag would work gpod and 338 win mag .

Those that size can carry people. You could wind up in very deep excrement.

That was the initial sitings, off the shore of New Jersey for whatever reason. Using FAA regulation type lights for night flying.

Just today, one went into Camp Pendleton airspace. They're everywhere.

I used to live close to Camp Pendleton. I miss their live fire days. F16's flying over dropping 1k pounders then boom boom rattling the house. Then have days of 155 Howitzer live fure. At night when the wind blew from ybe west off ocean I could hear live fire on range with 50 cal , 5.56, 7.62 and whatever else they were shooting . Then a pause and then back at it.
I miss hearing all that.
After that I lived near Miramar Air Base where they flew their Top Gun school from. Used to see F14's flying over all day then the switch to F18 Hornet and Super Hornet. I'm full of stories...

I was just reading a page for a company that makes vehicle mounted anti-drone weapons. Pics on the page showed it mounted on an up-armored HMMV. Their system can track a drone (apparently from a LONG ways out) and then nail it with a laser of some sort. Wish that I could recall the Co. name, at least.

I know that we have lasers that can do that sort of thing, but usually their power supplies are ginormous and not terribly field practical. But, my info is a decade or more out of date. I've no idea what we've got now.

In the Reagan years there was a Science News cover that showed a ground based laser that was capable (or so we and the Russians were told) of knocking out a satellite. It was all mounted on/in rail-road cars (Schwerer Gustav RR Gun anyone?). My grandfather was at a gathering of like RV owners down in TX not long after that cover came out and it was a fireside topic. One guy was serious doubting that it even existed. Another guy said "That was the SMALL one." and wouldn't (couldn't?) say any more.

Hard to shoot well from a camouflaged position inside or under a mylar blanket..... If you aren't camo'd well and haven't completely blocked your thermal signature and haven't broken up the outline of your weapon you are still alive because whoever is running the drone decided you could stay that way. Thermal cameras and AI image processing will defeat anything you want to do 99/100 times.
