i’m one of a few groups people who know exactly what the drones are in new jersey

this tweet will go into the void as i have no followers but i’ll share anyways. please retweet for reach (1/11)

what you’re seeing are american made HPGe nuclear detector drones

they can detect the presence of gamma rays miles away. but what is a gamma ray? (2/11)

that’d the stuff we attribute to radiation. electromagnetic waves that penetrate you and cause cancer

HPGe drones are built to inspect nuclear sites… but these ones aren’t…(3/11)

in the late 2000s the DoD needed a response to the threat of dirty bombs from ISIS coming into our ports in NY and NJ (4/11)

they’ve been stocking up on these drones for a while. some were deployed to Ukraine when Russia threatened the use of dirty bombs (5/11)

they look weird because they’re heavy and have giant Cryocoolers mounted and giant horn antennas to communicate on mmwave frequencies that cant be jammed (6/11)

this is where i come in. the technology these drones use have few suppliers, both for mmwave equipment and the high purity germanium. the same suppliers that are the backbone of my industry (7/11)

so what are they doing? collecting information in how public will react (PsyOp) and testing their ability to sweep a port city like NY for dirty bombs (8/11)

jersey was chose because we’re the closest port city to NY, and NY would be too dense for reliable mmwave comms. but why is the DoD silent? (9/11)

again, because in a scenario we have a threat of a dirty bomb and the public doesn’t yet know, the DoD needs to know how the public would react if these were deployed to sweep a city (10/11)

what many don’t realize is Ukraine is the reason we’re here. that was the first time we deployed them in a combat zone, but make no mistake they’re for protecting the homeland as DoD bought 100s of thousands to act as swarms capable of sweeping a city (11/11)

and i’m sorry for all the typos. i’m on the train home without my glasses and it’s very bumpy. i just had to get this off my chest as all day im hearing people genuinely afraid of the drones when they should be in awe of the capabilities we have as a country to keep us safe

and for nerds who know a bit about what i’m talking about. take a look at a close up of the drones. they operate in a grid both to sweep areas but also because comms are done in a mesh network operating at 200ghz+ which is very directional and needs bulky horn antennas mounted

should note: not a military expert. but spent 1/3 of my career as an RF engineer

we’re only hired in: military, telecom, and finance. i’m speculating that is is just a drill, but know exactly what those drones are

my guess is iran situation made the drill a priority

make no mistake, a dirty bomb is, or was until now, the greatest threat to america

a few going off in NYC and central LA would cripple us. the evidence we’d need to respond in kind would be impossible to get in time or at all. all our toys would be worthless with no target

oh, and how do i know they’re not foreign owned? well because i’m confident they’re HPGe drones, but even if you didn’t believe me you can see they have bright lights on them to keep our air traffic safe - something an enemy wouldn’t care about
