Jeff, the US drone would have been fitted with IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) transponders to parse out incoming home team aircraft from hostiles, precisely so that the air defences don't have to be 'switched off'.

Their explanation is what we in England would call 'a load of bollocks'.

Another Pentagon driven "false flag" event to stage the "explanation", create "blame", present a "single solution" and proceed to WWIII.

Strange to see all the "mentioned OTHER" targets:

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq said it was responsible for the attack in a statement posted to Telegram on Sunday. It said it targeted three US bases in Syria and Jordan - Shaddadi, Rukban and Tanf - as well as an Israeli oil facility in the Mediterranean.

Lots to process there, and none of it good, but I presume Iran will get "twisted" into some form of involvement.

Expand full comment

There's quite a few people who question the drone narrative, given the extensive use of drones in the current Ukraine-Russia conflict, and the numerous videos of the blast effect area (generally small) compared to what is purported to be the level of damage at the base.

So was it really a drone?

Just askin'

Expand full comment

Who knows? All I do know is that in any kind of FOB you don't switch off automatic air defences if you have them because you're worried it will shoot down your own aircraft.

If someone can hack an F35, I'm sure they can hack air defence systems and drones. Maybe that's it?

I wouldn't trust either the US government or my own if they told me today was Tuesday.

Expand full comment

I served 8 years in the army reserves. In order to serve over seas you would have be activated, which means serving in an active duty capacity. I am pretty sure only the President can activate reservists. I think he can do so for any reason he sees fit but only for 365 days. There should be a lot more readily available information about why they were there especially if they were reservists.

This is from an Army Times article. And if you are not familiar with Ft. Benning [now called Ft. Moore where these 3 reservists were based] you should look it up.

"More than half of the total Army’s civil affairs, legal, psychological operations, chaplain, military history, quartermaster and medical units belong to the Army Reserve. Leaders, including Daniels, often claim to lawmakers that the force’s units provide the active-duty Army with critical capabilities at a fraction of the cost to maintain them full-time."

Maybe it was in Internet video that spurred the drone attack. And, you know, what difference does it make?

Right, not enough devout Muslim-Americans or prayer rooms on base? or maybe an infiltrator posing as ally or even a US Serviceman operation to frag the base? Happened at least a dozen times prior in Saudi, Iraq, Gulf States, Afghanistan.

I’ve heard that a sizable chunk of US military equipment that was originally donated to Ukraine has ended up on the black market, especially in Africa and the Middle East. If this was originally a US/Ukrainian drone, the IFF would read as a β€œfriend,” correct?

You need more than just the hardware; the system needs to be set to a specific (secret) code that changes frequently in order to show up as a "friend".

The drone that blew up followed ours home.

Expand full comment

Do you think that the US military (or any modern western military) has air control and air defence systems that can be thwarted by 'following a drone home'?

Expand full comment

Yes, because that was the early reportage of the incident.

Why can Russia's S-300 and S-400 see all of our stealth planes?

Expand full comment

Well, you're wrong (about that) and they were lying.

As to why Russia AA can 'see' stealth aircraft, who knows? Can they? I don't know.

But that's a different issue altogether from the Army claiming a drone followed its own drone home and that's why they didn't see it or shoot it down.

Expand full comment

You are misattributing everything you say.

AA? They call it S-300 and S-400 and Turkey bought it instead of our Patriot because it can see everything we claim our stealth can hide.

I never said what the Army claimed because I don't follow their propaganda.

Drones don't have the surveillance and counter-measures our fighters do. They can't see behind themselves.

Expand full comment

AA = anti-aircraft. S300 and S-400 = AA.

I'm not sure what I'm 'misattributing' (though don't bother to enlighten me, I don't care).

I asked you: 'Do you think that the US military (or any modern western military) has air control and air defence systems that can be thwarted by 'following a drone home'?'

You said: 'Yes, because that was the early reportage of the incident.'

So someone reported that the drone in question followed another, friendly, drone home, which is why it was able to hit its target, and you believe that.

Presumably someone told that story (the story you say you believe) to the journalist who reported it, and presumably that was the Army (unless the journalist just made it up - which is possible).

Either way, you believe the Army, or a journalist, or both.

That's fine, nothing to do with me. All I did was ask you if you believed the bullshit story about enemy drones cuningly foiling sophisticated air defence systems in this way.

Expand full comment

Russia uses the lower RADAR frequencies for their missile defense systems because it can't be defeated by stealth technology, which relies on higher frequencies that lend them to high priced and exotic solutions to problems that provide profits to the MICIMATT complex manufacturers that create them.

Expand full comment

I'm not quite so confident that the systems are so 100% foolproof that they could shoot down an unidentified aircraft while also not harming a "friendly" in the same airspace. Even if they theoretically have the capability, accidents can happen, so IMO it's highly plausible that the auto-firing system would have been switched off "to be on the safe side". I don't imagine anyone was thinking about the risk of someone sneaking a drone in at the same time (otherwise they would have prepared for it).

(Though it does raise the question of why human radar operators weren't watching or why they didn't notice the second drone when there was only supposed to be one. Even if the "auto-response features" were turned off it would still be possible to fire on it manually.)

Expand full comment

perhaps they could track and deduce that the friendly drone didn't have a baby while it was gone, it was bringing a new friend home for dinner and sleepover; SHOOT them BOTH down if need be for God's sakes!

Expand full comment

That is surely what they OUGHT to have done.

Expand full comment

Nothing is 100% foolproof but it’s also very good and doesn’t need to be manually watched to make sure the computers are doing it right.

Expand full comment

Perhaps it was a US drone we β€œaccidentally” left in Afghanistan? So then the friend transponder was on?

Expand full comment

It's not like they make these drones with one factory setting and then they ship them. The IFF transponders need to be dialled in to locations and supporting equipment using codes which change on a regular basis.

And he appointed judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, in each city. And he said to the judges, β€œConsider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for Yahweh who is with you when you render judgment. So now then let the dread of Yahweh be upon you; be careful what you do, because with Yahweh our God there is no unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe. . . Be strong and act, and Yahweh be with the one who is good.”

From Life Application Study Bible

Ps 82:1

God judges human judges. The integrity of the justice system in a nation provides a clear indication of the health of society. As is the case with all leadership, judges derive their authority ultimately from God and will give an account to God for their verdicts. Believers are commanded to pray for β€œkings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:2). This psalm reminds us to include judges of every kind in our prayers because we directly benefit from their integrity.
