I’m sure they have them, but the wire guided ones I’ve seen (on video!) used in Ukraine are crazy. E: But you’re right, even if they can’t jam the drones, just the detection is probably enough to be safe on a superyacht. I hope the paparazzi never let them rest
So this is gonna be a bit rambly but I do have a point to make.
My great-grandfather worked on V1s and V2s for the US Navy during WW2 mostly on the gyroscopic guidance system but also was witnessed to general testing. Anyways he wrote a never published paper on theoretical strategic and tactical uses on their usage, he gave wee little 11 year old me a solid summary of them.
Basically he wanted to create a deep deployment method for US Army Rangers wherein they could airdrop in a simplified V1 based design deep into enemy lines which could then be set up for sabotage methods. He wanted to create a high powered long range but single use transmitter that could be used to set them off for fire and forget sabotage.
Anyways I’m curious if anyone will dig up or think of said ideas, since they basically predate modern tech and would more or less be impossible to counter without firing off an AA system. Hell with modern tech you could probably outright improve apon his idea.
You don’t honestly think the ultra wealthy are personally planning the details and implementing the systems and weapons for their security detail, right?
They hire companies staffed by experts and former military whose purpose is to do all of the work for them.
Yeah, I deleted my comment immediately after I published it. How did you see that nearly an hour after the fact?
Regardless, doing so is extremely expensive (I would think). The ultra wealthy right now benefit from a legal system that protects them well enough, they can spend the majority of their fortune on fucking with the less fortunate. Let their paranoia dampen their capacity.
The ultra wealthy are dependent upon economic income streams to maintain any one of their systems. We are a society depend on the economy only until the economy stops serving us—by which point we depend upon ourselves and the economy flounders. I fail to see a scenario in which we are freed enough from our dependence to make tangible threat to the ultra wealthy, while still they maintain enough financial resilience to maintain their arsenal.
They’re doomed if a militia forms against them, because that’s only going to happen via their weakened capacity in the first place. Don’t you think?
Love it, but unfortunately that is not an original thought anymore:
Counter-Drone Systems For Yachts Are Growing In Popularity
Still delicious. Let them quake in their boots.

Good. Force these fucks to build an arsenal they either don’t know how to maintain or will fail trying.
