Their sacrifice helps to protect Joe Biden's ongoing genocide against children. Also, I would have survived. Just saying. I would have dodged.

The hurtbox0 for regular suicide drones is only 7 frames but the red suicide drone's hurtbox lasts for 11 frames so you need an Adp stat of at least 19 to avoid taking damage.

Its was Al Tanf Base in Syria , but that raisos question so they lie about it beeing in Jordan.

How does that raise more questions than it being in Jordan?

you allready raised one .. they have no mandate to be in Syria , its soldiers there are Occupation forces de jure..

Do they have a mandate to be in Jordan?

I guess , Jordan is pretty pro west security wise..

zed_proclaimer

Yes, Jordan invited them and the Jordanian monarchist regime collaborates openly with Americans and Zionists, this is well known. Whereas in Syria, Assad is not a western puppet and does not legally allow American occupiers - they are there illegally. It's a difference in legality. The current Jordanian regime is pro-America, the current Syrian one is not.

According to the Jordanian government, the military base attacked was not in Jordan. It was the Al-Tanf base in Syria.

Funny thought, but as a heretidary monarchy the "Jordanian Government" is literally a regime, like literally, because the reg is rex from the latin or etruscan or whatever for king, and they're ruled by a king, they're literally a regime, but they don't get saddled with teh regime word. Like "The hereditary monarchy that controls this country said".

attack was in Syria , as US has no Mandate therethey Lie.. (Al Tanf Base )

Three military affiliated Americans dead in militia involved droning, claims Democrat Party sources

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Three American service members were found dead in a drone involved strike in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border, President Joe Biden claimed in a statement Sunday. Joe Biden is affiliated with the American Democrat Party, the same group responsible for the many deaths of Vietnam War launched on 3/8/65. The group attributed the strike to Iran-backed militia groups. The AP has not verified these claims

Update:

A Jordanian government spokesman told state TV that the militants targeted a different base, outside Jordanian territory.

https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-says-three-us-service-members-killed-drone-attack-us-forces-jordan-2024-01-28/

By AFP - Agence France Presse

Jordan said Sunday a drone attack that killed three US troops did not occur on its territory as Washington reported earlier, but at an army base in Syria near the border.

Government spokesman Muhannad Mubaidin said the "attack that targeted the American forces did not happen in Jordan... It targeted Al-Tanf base in Syria", where US forces are deployed as part of an international anti-jihadist coalition.

Looks like it's a base called Al-Tanf in Syria actually.

And this makes me think those rumours that US troops are about to be pulled out of Syria entirely might be true @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net

I wonder if Iran and Russia are using this situation to test out their drone tech and develop tactics and doctrine against actual American soldiers and bases. At the moment, Russia and Ukraine are the only countries that have drone warfare experience in a high intensity near peer war.

Highly manoeuvrable stealth drones are remarkably easy to make. A bunch of university students in Oklahoma made one in 2017.

The best way to stop them is probably through jamming or other electronic warfare.

SwitchyWitchyandBitchy

•

Russia and the US (via Ukraine) are in a drone arms race which largely consist of making more sophisticated jammers and detectors vs more jamming resistant and harder to detect drones. And based on this article it's not a race the US is winning.

That stealth drone project looks cool and if that's a capstone project from 2017, detecting them through means other than detecting their radio signals will be very difficult. Though they used an extremely weak radar (60mW) and a very high frequency one (40GHz) so they did very much set themselves up for success. The fact that they lowered detection range from 100m with a baseball to like 20m is still impressive for an (undergrad?) university project.

Edit: sorry for the paywalled article. I read it earlier this year and didn't realize the reader view was disabled now. Trying to see if I can find a way around it for this post.

Update: Here ya go!

Yeah stealth aircraft are more vulnerable to lower frequency radars, it's how the F-117 was shot down over Serbia. However that does usually reduce the rage of your radar, which is the opposite of what you want with regards to early warning radars.

I think honestly to get a proper shot of detecting the radio signals of the drones and potentially jamming them at source, or even launching missiles at the source, you'd need some kind of electronic warfare aircraft. That is an asset that Ukraine does not have and will not be getting anytime soon. I can't see the US giving Ukraine some old EA-6Bs with updated EW capabilities or anything like that. Jamming the drones by placing jammers near or around potential targets is not going to cut it long term. You need some form of signals intelligence. Ukraine's military realise this, even in the article you posted.

We also need more access to electronic intelligence from our allies, including data from assets that collect signals intelligence, and expanded production lines for our anti-drone EW systems within Ukraine and abroad,” he wrote in The Economist.
