Drones have changed the security equation for America’s critical infrastructure. A drone attack is shockingly easy to execute. And guess what: private sector and even the government don’t have legal authorization to deal with the threat, let alone the right tools. This is a legal issue that Congress has... show more

Let me guess you're applying for lobbyist jobs, since your political career is over.

I thought DARPA had the tech to make drones drop from the sky like rain drops or incinerate them in place with a microwave or something.

Coming up on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we no longer fear hijackings. But we are woefully underprepared for the next threat - drones. A commercial drone can fly toward a refinery, stadium, or military base—and the people responsible for protecting it may not even have the legal authority to stop it. That’s insane. That’s why I’m co-leading the House companion to Senator Tom Cotton’s bill, the Critical Infrastructure Airspace Defense Act, which gives critical infrastructure operators the legal authority to defend their facilities against unauthorized drones. Common sense.

⚠️ Russia could strike NATO using Ukrainian-made drones Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas made the warning, saying Vilnius has information that Russia is considering attacks on critical infrastructure in the Baltic region. “We have information that Russia is considering unconventional kinetic attacks against critical infrastructure in the Baltic region. It is quite possible that Russia could use Ukrainian-made drones for this purpose,” he said. According to Lithuania’s information, Moscow has not yet made a final decision on such an operation. However, the country has already stepped up security at several critical infrastructure sites.

The Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning that the national terror threat level is at its “highest ever” due to a critical lapse in FISA. “Iranian hackers” have also claimed responsibility for breaching the FBI drone surveillance program and parts of California’s water infrastructure. The government now wants you to sacrifice personal freedom for security.

⚔️🇩🇪🇪🇺 Europe is moving to build a coordinated Baltic security shield against drones, sabotage and attacks on critical infrastructure, with nine countries agreeing to create a new joint task force focused on hybrid threats. At an August 28 meeting in Flensburg chaired by German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, ministers from Denmark, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Finland, Sweden and Estonia agreed to establish a deputy-minister-level task force to strengthen protection of critical infrastructure and improve counter-drone defense across the Baltic region. The move follows the August 4 drone attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport and repeated damage incidents involving underwater cables in the Baltic Sea since 2022. The participating states also plan to push for defense-related funding to receive priority in the EU’s 2028–2034 budget. The absence of formal attribution reflects political caution, but the strategic direction is obvious: Europe is preparing for a security environment in which drones, sabotage and attacks on underwater infrastructure become routine tools of pressure below the threshold of open war. If the initiative expands, it could become the foundation of a broader European counter-drone and critical-infrastructure defense network designed to close some of NATO’s most exposed vulnerabilities in the Baltic region.

Ukraine has the world’s largest and most advanced drone warfare capability. We are offering this capability to our partners through the Drone Deal initiative. I’m grateful to everyone who has already joined this initiative and to those who are joining it. Drone Deal initiative it’s not only about buying drones, but also about co-production – fast-track access to the means of protection of critical infrastructure, air-defense and security cooperation. From a speech at the NATO Defense Industry Forum. (4/5)

Putin allows the state to seize critical infrastructure from owners who fail to protect it from drones What is happening in the Kremlin looks like quiet panic. They are clearly preparing for new, even more successful Ukrainian strikes and apparently do not have much confidence in their ability to defend against them. Putin has signed a decree allowing critical infrastructure facilities to be placed under temporary state management if their owners fail to ensure their security. The decree covers nuclear energy, industry, communications, the fuel and energy sector, and essential services — meaning the state could effectively take control of almost anything. One of the reasons explicitly cited is the ineffectiveness of measures to repel drone attacks. But if a facility that has already been taken over by the state gets hit, who will be blamed then? At least before, there was a convenient private owner to pin everything on.

🚨 TEXAS SOUNDS THE ALARM ON DRONES Lawmakers just held a hearing on the growing drone threat. Expert testimony: A sophisticated drone can be built with parts bought online for as little as $600. It can fly for miles and is hard to detect. That same technology could be used to attack critical infrastructure right here at home. One expert put it bluntly: “In security terms, today is August 12th, 2001. We see the next 9/11 coming.” As of July, only 61 officers nationwide are federally certified to take these drones down. Texas needs to move fast.
