    Why are air defenses needed, or even allowed, at a private residence?

    The timing doesn’t sound in the least bit suspect.

    FYI: These systems will not work against the majority of drones.

    They are equipped with heat seeking stinger missiles and designed for large aircraft and cruise missiles. The target has to be really hot for the missile to lock on.

    Some attempts have been made to upgrade them with proximity fuzes, and a rigged test was done to show they work on really large drones. But the reality is this is all for show.

      Take notes, always buy your km of fiber optique wire in cold hard cash.

      My guess is that anyone in the industry of close protection is scared shitless of homeade suicide drones. Anyone who buys a kilometer of fiber optic wire is probably getting flagged by antiterrorism watchdogs.

        I was expecting it to be way more expensive.

        It was chosen to be after the harvest, and on a date it was guaranteed not to conflict with a holiday

        They at least tried to make it an accessible day, long ago

        The more civilized parts of the country allow voting for like two weeks before, or voting by mail.

        Just assume the US to be the homeland of Star Trek’s Ferengi. It all makes sense then.
