I almost ate the onion on this one.
The only reason I didn’t is because the MQ-9 is old tech.
Ice is using much smaller drones that blend in better.
That’s bad satire. It can’t be on the knife-edge between a joke and a lie. The headline is a punchline and a punch has to hit.
This was the closest I’ve ever gotten. I was already on my way to reply when I noticed.
Me too. Far too close.
It’s not a stretch. CBP operates them.
I took a fat fuckin bite out of that onion, nice
How very “Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply.” of them.
They definitely wouldn’t say please, and I’m none too sure about the “put down your weapon part” at this point. I think we’re more at the stage of:
I know this is the onion, but hell 1984 was fiction too at one time. This hits too close to home.
Tbh they could be using these right now to spy on the domestic population and we would likely never know. These things fly at like 50,000 feet since theyre unmanned. You sure as shit arent gonna see that from the ground. Plus its small, at least compared to commercial aircraft, so you probably wouldnt even see it from an aircraft flying at normal cruising altitude either. Compared to a CRJ700 (regional jet sized plane that is tiny compared to a 737), the reaper drone is 3x shorter, half as tall, and has a way skinner body. The only thing similar in size is the wingspan
It makes sense considering they wouldnt be good at bombing people if they were easy to see
I was relieved when I saw this was the onion. Fuck.
ukraine will help us shoot them down. ice would have it if they weren’t so cheap
Remember this?
Yeah.
OCP stocks go BRRRRR…
