to appear like they are from earth or locali believe anything is possible, but if these drones are up to no good, why would they have their lights on??
I Wonder what goes on overhead During the Fog Events
Well probably several reasons...? In no particular order here's some. Most people ASSUME the drones are up to no good and maybe they are. Then some play into it by flying there own like I have. And then there's social media and AI making video's about them involving all kinds of of plots.i believe anything is possible, but if these drones are up to no good, why would they have their lights on??
I was watching Ukraine combat videos and I saw a Russian soldier shoot down a drone with one shot from an AK-47. The video was taken by the drone before it was downed. The drone was buzzing a group of soldiers and paused for a second. He made a snap shot and nailed it.Well you would have thought so but if someone did in a residential area it's kind of hard to talk about I guess. And if someone did it would be hard to retrieve possibly also. And then there's those pesky laws that protect them also.
Bird shot would work but you better be close. Don't know if anybody needs "drone loads / slugs" as it won't take much to bring down a drone hovering. Hell my .22 would bring down my large drone easily. But if it's hovering / moving at 400 ft. it would be tough to do.
Jeff, I do believe they may have identified the culprit...some of the younger folks here have probably never even heard of it.
That doesn't surprise me that one shot would do it nor should anyone be surprised. That's all it would take. There're very fragile overall or at least the ones I've seen are. A .17 or heavier could easily do the job.I was watching Ukraine combat videos and I saw a Russian soldier shoot down a drone with one shot from an AK-47.

That is always the limiting factor, not the supply of bottle rocketsI was thinking about something a bit more creative, and most definitely redneck(ish).
Take about fifty 1' x 1" PVC tubes and stack/mount them into a frame on an adjustable axis tripod, and then load them all with bottle rockets. Two-man operation...one man lighting the fuses, and another doing the aiming. View attachment 2186543
Need to go see if I've got enough 1" pvc...View attachment 2186542
D.D.: You sir have a brilliant mind. I can't believe somebody hasn't thought of this approach before now. You might want to consider patenting this new weapon and then approach the U.S. Defense Department. Some of the members here at Tnet might want to help with the patent expenses for a piece of the action. Anyway your plan of action should go down in history as a stroke of genius...! I see nothing redneck(ish) about it what so ever sir.I was thinking about something a bit more creative, and most definitely redneck(ish).
