I mean, just some old-school anti-aircraft guns would fix most of their problems, but no, every air defence hardpoint has to be fitted with, like, one and a half gigantic missiles that cost a billion dollars per shot and can shoot down a stealth bomber from halfway around the world, but won't do squat against a wave of commercial drones from Ali Express.

I guess it's probably worth it to have some guns around particular high value targets, but generally it's probably much less expensive to just take the hits from the light bombs drones can carry than try to prevent them. And of course the new hardpoints established to take into account the tiny range of the guns would be visible to civilians and make them ask how they can expect to get aerially bombed by a bunch of poor peasants.

are drone susceptible to radio jamming? i can imagine a sad future where im trying to post about my low altitude radar induced cancer but the cops saw some pigeons blip on the screen and need to blast the neighborhood with interference so the hypothetical drone bombs explode harmlessly (to police) on a random house or tree

You'd expect some of 'em around the source of half your country's money, though.

by shutting down saudi oil production the houthis are doing more to fight global warming than any other group on earthFast Luck posted:Lmao brown loving moses is currently trying to suppress a peer reviewed paper set to be published in an academic journal out of princeton university because it disagrees with the circles he draws with ms paint. Hes already started with a smear campaign and threats despite not having even seen the final paper, trying to create the most unwelcoming atmosphere possible for any dissent of the regime change narrative and close off any room for academic debate love his twitter cover image
