There was a drone attack on a Louisiana bomber base that seems to be of unknown origin.

The March 9 attack on Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, near Shreveport, disrupted flights intended to help in the Epic Fury attack on Iran.

Barksdale is no dog of an airbase; it's the nerve center for the Air Force Strike Command. It is a major center for B-52 bombers and is also a major base for American nuclear weapons.

The waves of attacks forced the temporary closure of the base.

This shows Iran or her proxies were in the U.S. and had weapons of war at the ready.

At any rate Barksdale does not have fighters to protect against such a threat and the electronic countermeasures to disrupt communications with the drones failed, suggesting someone knew how they worked and were able to harden the drones, which came in four hour waves and which came with lights on as if daring us to stop them. As the article points out these drones are far superior to any Iran has shown the world, especially the ones used in the Russo-Ukrainian war, so their origin is a mystery. Why, if I didn't know better I would say they are either our own, or Chinese.

These drones were far more sophisticated even than anything we have.

As things stand mysterious drones over American military bases are nothing new; we've seen them over the last couple of years. Anyone remember the New Jersey drone sightings? Our government told us these were simply domestic hobby drones. Our government lied. Witnesses say these drones were huge and amazingly sophisticated.

And don't forget the Chinese spy balloons which went over a bunch of our military bases.

So I suspect we've known they were there and we've probably got a good idea of who is behind them, but we can't prove it.

We'd better hustle it up and create superior military drones and do it damned quick.

Do notice that we've not heard any other stories of drone attacks on U.S. facilities since the start of the war. Now why do you suppose that is? My guess is that we've been able to disrupt Chinese spy networks here in the states (quietly) and probably put other countermeasures in place.

At any rate we are in another cloak and dagger spy v. spy Cold War and this sort of thing is going to continue to happen.

Naturally, the Chinese are being creamed by the Iran war and had everything to lose from it - and still do.
