Desayuno Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Random but why hasn’t the USAF built many underground hangars like our colleagues in the desert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we prioritized money on the below. At least 3 flying at any one time IVO Chinese territory, mostly undetectable across multiple spectrums. Most Chinese reports of UAPs are this or the F-35s associated with it. Bottom line, have to prioritize funds somewhere. FAFO Xi… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to being a physical barrier, the netting is assumed to help protect the aircraft from electro-optical snooping as well. It’s still curious as to why Langley is the base being targeted for these drone swarms, maybe its proximity to the ocean? I think you answered your own question?

M2 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago The WSJ take on the situation, with the added bonus of a humorous story on the "worst spy ever," Fengyun Shi! Mystery Drones Swarmed a U.S. Military Base for 17 Days. The Pentagon Is Stumped. U.S. officials don’t know who is behind the drones that have flown unhindered over sensitive national-security sites—or how to stop them https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/drones-military-pentagon-defense-331871f4 To view the article with pictures, go to the Air Force MWR Libraries website (https://daf.dodmwrlibraries.org/) and log in using your DoD ID number (i.e., EDIPI) and DOB.

HeyEng Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago 4 hours ago, frog said: I think you answered your own question? What I meant is why is Langley targeted at the exclusion of other bases? Is it because Langley is near the water and these drones (which witnesses are saying are as large as cars) are operating off of ships and more inland bases are out of reach or launching and recovering these drones over land are not practical without getting caught? If so I would think you would see many Naval installations targeted as well. And for that matter why stop at installing anti-drone netting at just Langley? I would think that any base that has F-22, F-35, B-2, etc. should have anti-drone protection installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
