    Interestingly civilian drones get disabled around these NJ ones. Apparently they can’t fly and have issues.

      Not all.

      Non-DJI drones do not have geofencing

      But then they do have radio jammming…

      Unless its a self-contained AI piloted drone, which Ukraine still haven’t figured out, so I don’t think so.

      Which lead to one conclusion:

      This seems like US Military testing new killing drones, but they don’t want to admit testing new autonomous killing machines.

        It’s been a long time for testing and no one seems in the loop. Why lie about it.

        Also the military has testing sites - why over populated civilian areas? Why not say they’re running a military exercise and loop in law enforcement at the very least?

        Why also the sightings of similar “drones” in the UK?

        Why do they “go dark” when chased?

        If it was US military why did they prevent a medical helicopter from taking off? That seems highly unnecessary and cruel.

        It’s super interesting that there are reports that a bunch of drones were following a coast guard ship.

          Because it’s probably near where they’re developing them and they need a real-world test case. They don’t tell anyone because generally it doesn’t cause harm and it’s classified.

          Why also the sightings of similar “drones” in the UK?

          Because they have similar projects.

          Why do they “go dark” when chased?

          Because they don’t want to be chased.

          If it was US military why did they prevent a medical helicopter from taking off? That seems highly unnecessary and cruel.

          I’m guessing they weren’t aware (I haven’t read the article yet). Edit: this article does not mention this happening.

          Also a useful test case.
