They struck a blow against the world’s most dangerous regime.

“We told our new AI anti-drone system to target terrorist aircraft. We weren’t specific enough. We have prompt engineers addressing the issue as we speak.”
X.ai announced they will be upgrading the military to Grok version 1.0 in the next decade in response to this incident
Grok show me the tits of this drone
Sir, you better come look at this.

So…did they shoot down a $20 quadcopter, or like a $200,000,000 Global Hawk? “Drone” is kind of an overloaded term.
I think it is completely safe to assume, until further information is released, that the US government may have shot itself in the MQ-9b Reaper (aka predator b) costing $30,000,000 - $245,000,000 (depending on sensor package) to procure and $12,000 per flight hour to operate.
I’m guessing quadcopter because it would be impossible to hide the wreckage otherwise or confuse it for a cartel drone. Still possible though that it was something more substantial.
US : US 0 : 1Always winning
this story doesn’t include it, but another i saw mentioned how in the aftermath of the military shooting down the political-paramilitary agency drone–triggering a shutdown of nearby airspace and a general panic across different agencies scrambling to figure out what happened–the administration immediately announced they had shot down a cartel drone.
Texas accident
TBF Texas is an accident, like I accidentally shit my pants, accident.
Lol they also just lost another $130m-$630m UAV to Iran over the strait of Hormuz, an MQ-4C Triton (navy global hawk)That was fake news, never happened.
Expect a lot of this clickbait if war happens. Last time Iran claimed to shoot down an F-35 every few hours and said that they had captured female pilots, no evidence provided.
Thanks!
“Drone involved shooting incident”
It’s never an “accident.” Rule 1 of firearms.
It’s called a “negligent discharge.” At least nobody died in this blue-on-blue this time. Or red-on-red, I guess.Soldier-involved drone downing.
