And speaking of getting away with it, WTF was going on for those four hours a day? Does Barksdale have no drones of their own? No helicopters they can call on to follow one?
It's also remarkable that basically none of the many "swarms of drones" sightings over sensitive installations has ended with any drones being found or anyone being caught. OPSEC is hard, drones fail, pilots crash… yet these have somehow been perfect

NORTHCOM claims to have "defeated" a drone at an unspecified base "In the early hours of Operation EPIC FURY last month, a deployed [fly-away kit] successfully detected and defeated sUAS operating over a strategic U.S. installation" Also "So far, NORTHCOM has only one fly-way kit, but more should be delivered 'in the Spring of 2026''" One. You watched a big chunk of Russia's strategic bomber fleet burn down 9 months ago and you have *one* https://www.twz.com/news-features/u-s-battled-drone-incursions-over-key-bases-at-home-after-launch-of-epic-fury
