Turn Iran and Yemen into glassed-over parking lots.

According to Fox News, U.S. warships have shot down about a dozen Houthi drones targeting the Truman strike group since the airstrikes Saturday night. The drones were shot down “well before” they posed a serious threat. This comes after President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he has ordered airstrikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that he had "ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen." National security advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the administration's decision Sunday, with Rubio saying it's a message to Iran.

Somebody is making these drones. They are stored somewhere. Where is our intelligence agency
Why don't we know where the drones are coming from who is supplying them

The bombs need to go where the manufacturer is . If it's Iran??? That's where the bombs need to go.

Are these actual military type drones or something from the Tower hobbies catalog with a grenade strapped to it?

I can assure you that i don't know, but if they are not building them themselves or even if they are ----if there are no drones they cannot fire them. Destroy the manufacturer ,and do it on a work day so you get the workers.

They are buying all the random parts on ebay or amazon and assembling themselves....

These days there's not much difference as far as the small ones go.....hobby style is far more capable.

You can buy almost everything you need to build those online...most of it at amazon.

Interesting ..

I'm 90% sure the builders have been educated in the west .... 5 % in Iran 5 % China or maybe NORK

these 7th century mental midgets are not creating this tech on their own

and Iran has most likely gotten training in NORK or China

I see a lot of hobby grade stuff in there.

I see a lot of hobby grade stuff in there.

Some of their drones are large fixed-wing models, apparently supplied by the Iranians. Saw a video yesterday of one being shot down with a APKWS II 2.75" rocket fired from, I believe, a Hornet.

That was especially "cool" for me since I was involved in some of the "ground floor" investigations and research in to developing an active guidance capability for the inexpensive 2.75 rocket system. That was almost 40 years ago!
