Pentagon Laser Shoots Down Customs Border Patrol Drone in Texas (opens in new tab)

Godspeed for anyone transiting the airspace where these devices are active.

I mean, wouldn’t an even slightest clever adversary do just that? Launch a bunch of decoys(party balloons, drones, whatever) amidst one they actually want to actually use as an attack vector? Would the pentagon just play an expensive pew pew and potentially miss the real one?

Well the head of the Pentagon is an alcoholic who has no business being in the role, so thats probably contributing to their issues as of late....
