Regular readers know that the threat of suicide drones has expanded beyond the modern battlefields of Ukraine and the Middle East – with potential targets including\u00a0data centers and critical infrastructure<\/a>. Given this potential, it was only a matter of time before an\u00a0FPV-style attack<\/strong>\u00a0was attempted on the homeland.<\/p>\n

Today,\u00a0Fox News’\u00a0<\/em>reports<\/a>\u00a0that federal agents and law enforcement partners foiled an alleged FPV attack plot targeting this past weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

According to the report,\u00a0five people were arrested and 23 others were identified\u00a0<\/strong>as part of a potential network of plotters. The group allegedly planned to\u00a0use explosive-laden drones<\/strong>\u00a0to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation, and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team.<\/p>\n

A “second wave<\/strong>” was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, according to officials. -Fox News<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region \u2013 and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold.<\/em><\/p>\n

Seeking comment from America’s counter-drone detection industry,<\/strong>\u00a0we reached out to\u00a0DZYNE Technologies<\/a>\u00a0CEO Matt McCue, who told us:<\/p>\n

\n

“This is exactly how layered defense is supposed to work. Intelligence and interdiction upstream, counter-drone technology downstream. They are partners, not competitors. The FBI reached this one early, and that’s the ideal outcome. For the threats that don’t surface in advance, that’s where the detection and mitigation layer has to be ready.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

McCue continued:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

“It is a relief that the FBI reached this one early, because the real problem is the back end. Once one of these is in the air over a crowd, the defender’s window is measured in seconds, and every option to stop it carries its own risk to the people underneath. The advantage swings hard to the attacker the moment it launches.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Joe Francescon, former National Security Council Senior Director for Counterterrorism Defense, told us:<\/p>\n

\n

“What makes this category of attacks so concerning is how little it demands of the people behind it<\/strong>. The technology is commercial, off-the-shelf, and everywhere. There is no meaningful legal or financial barrier to obtaining it, and no special access, insider knowledge, or training required to use it. The planning for an attack like this can happen out in the open, which is a very different threat profile from what the U.S. is used to worrying about.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course,\u00a0while we aren’t getting names or photos for some reason<\/strong>, one of the suspects allegedly told investigators the aim was to target “capitalist elites,” “billionaires<\/em><\/strong>,” or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).<\/p>\n

BREAKING: Details via federal arrest affidavit reveal that a California man named Michael Alan Thomas was one of the alleged organizers of the alleged UFC White House terror plot.

And while we don’t know if this was just douchebags larping on Signal chat from mom’s basement\u00a0<\/strong>or radical militants who had secured hardware (because the FBI hasn’t told us), we do know\u00a0that some of the most vocal groups in America bashing “capitalist elites” and “billionaires” have been associated with the rise of socialist and communist movements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These groups were allowed to thrive by their ‘comrades<\/strong>‘ in the Biden and Obama administrations, who instead went after parents opposing woke indoctrination, Catholics, and free speech.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, we’re back to combating\u00a0radical left-wing terror<\/strong>\u00a0– which even\u00a0The Atlantic<\/em>\u00a0had to admit is ‘on the rise.’<\/p>\n

And of course, they deny they’re violent – and yet;<\/p>\n
