Hello Folks... Did You Hear About This?

There are reports that an American air base on US soil, on the US mainland, down in  Louisiana was attacked by drones!

We it on the front page of the national newspapers? We it a breaking story on the evening news.

No, I found out about from an India newspaper! And from that I found local news articles...

Coordinated drone swarms breach Barksdale Air Force Base airspace over six-day period

What initially appeared to be a single unauthorized drone sighting over Barksdale Air Force Base on March 9 was in fact the opening of a coordinated, week-long intrusion campaign involving multiple waves of sophisticated unmanned aircraft, according to a confidential internal military briefing document reviewed by ABC News.

The scope and nature of the incursions have raised serious national security concerns at one of the United States military’s most strategically important installations.

What Happened

A shelter-in-place order was issued at Barksdale on the morning of March 9 after a drone was detected over the airfield. The order was lifted later that day, and the incident was initially treated as an isolated event. The base’s security posture was temporarily elevated to Force Protection Condition Charlie — a designation indicating a potential threat to personnel or facilities.

But the intrusions did not stop there.

According to the confidential briefing document dated March 15, security forces at Barksdale observed multiple waves of 12 to 15 drones operating over sensitive areas of the installation between March 9 and March 15, including directly over the flight line. The drones displayed non-commercial signal characteristics, long-range control links, and resistance to electronic jamming. The briefing further noted the drones entered and exited the base in patterns that suggested deliberate attempts to avoid having their operators located, and that lights on the drones indicated the operators may have been intentionally testing the base’s security responses.

So let me get this straight... drones shut down an American air base on our soil and none of the nation news organizations covered it? WBRZ writes,

According to the confidential briefing document dated March 15, the drones came in waves and entered and exited the base in a way that may suggest attempts to “avoid the operator(s) being located.” Lights on the drones suggested the operators “may be testing security responses” at the base.

A test? Harbinger of things to come?

Trump keeps on saying that we won the war, but Iran says no? I have a very strong suspicion that Trump and Hegseth have poked a hornet's nest and they have no idea of things to come.
