The future of military tech is supposedly hypersonic missiles, stealth drones and suicide drones. I'm going with large-scale air force experiments with a new line of drones, possibly with a 'psy-op' angle. While the Democrats sabotage everything possible for the upcoming Orange-Man-Bad presidency (such as selling off portions of the border wall), they want to distract people with 'mysterious' unidentified aerial phenomena.
There be aliens/Iranian motherships launching drone squadrons/Chinese stealth balloons afoot.
(I haven't really spent much thought on this. In case you haven't noticed. ;) )
Govt op to help push more laws and regulations against civilian drones among other ways to steal freedoms from citizens.
The war in Ukraine had shown how effective (and cheap) drone warfare can be against a modern military force. So no shit the government wants to do whatever they can to prevent the citizens of our nation to be able to use those tactics against the state.
Citizens? How about all the non-citizens that were allowed to get in without getting who can use those tactics as enemies agents? Remember rumours of Chinese soldiers coming in via Mexico?
They already caught one chink. How many thousands more to go?
