This was an interesting photo of Diego Garcia, from about a month ago.

Getting them to Diego Garcia would be a bigger trick than sending containers across Russia.

Diego Garcia is on no one’s commercial route, if you’re suggesting a container ship would just be passing by. That would raise alerts very quickly.

Maybe a narco sub kind of set up. Still, seems very unlikely.

It took me an embarrassing amount of googling to figure out y'all weren't talking about the Maryland guy who was deported.

I thought it was the dude show that was a spinoff from Dora The Explorer.

and it also means we have to be on the lookout of hidden drones on maritime shipping that just happens to go near Guam, Hawaii, Alaska, Diego Garcia, Marshall Islands, etc

Ukr just showed a very simple road map to take out millions of dollars of planes for pennies on the dollar.

If only there were some form of sea transport for large amounts of containers

Musk and Peter Thiel and Trump were pitching that Big Beautiful Golden Dome Bullshit to protect all of America.

Meanwhile, a few dozen specialized cargo containers sailed into harbors up and down the East, West, and Gulf Coasts could open up and send out a ton of drones that could easily fuck up a lot of our naval assets, our power grid(s), quite a few military aircraft, etc.

With all this drone stuff, I would think it wise to develope something like the SR-71 but for bombs. And stealthier, and with enough range to get halfway around the world. Keep them in the continental United States out in the desert where they are isolated. Then again, that would require something massive just to have the fuel, and it wouldn't do anything an ICBM wouldn't.

Anti-drone tech is getting better and better every day, but it's always going to be chasing.  Directed microwave and laser are probably the best shots against this type of attack and I'm sure we're rolling that out at high risk facilities.  Our B-2's are only based at, what like 2 bases?  B-52's only a handful and the B-21 Raider is just coming online.  Most of the China wargame stuff I've seen says that if China got serious, the majority of our USAF losses would be planes sitting on the ground in Guam, Kaneda, etc.  We are not built for a long attritional war like Ukraine is in, we don't have the raw materials or resupply industrial base like we had in WWII.  Right now we are as vulnerable as we have been in decades.

Golden Dome isn't a bad idea, we should have it AND anti-drone tech as well.  But if China rolls up to the port of SF or NY and pops open a container of 10,000 suicide drones to fly into highrises, nobody has a defense for that.  And that would be a warcrime and very different than hitting a military target.
