The vulnerability of bases in the US became a concern after last year's Operation Spiderweb, in which Ukrainian drones attacked airbases and destroyed parked aircraft deep inside Russia. Experts worry that if Ukraine could smuggle drones into Russia aboard trucks and launch a surprise attack, terrorists and other adversaries could do the same in the US.

The nefarious Trumpf junta recently disbursed $250m through FEMA to different states and agencies to protect FIFA 2026 games from drones. Moreover, DHS recently launched a new office to counter the threat of drones.
