This is the same US military that released thermal immages of a duck or goose said it was a UFO and then went on talking about how it was an exstistental threat to the United States that a water foul would fly so close to an aircraft carrier, so I am not sure what we expected

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if these drones were flown by the CIA or another US agency trying to provoke some sort of reaction like this so they can use it as a pretext for more power for the military and more funding for themselves to stop those dastardly Chinese/Russians/Iranians whoever the cartoon villain of the week is.
