1. Some Uavs have very low RCS and are hard to detect
2. It could be surprise attacks and the United States did not prepare in advance, did not anticipate that scenario to happen.
In the US situation, the scenario would play out as follows.
1 uav containing explosives successfully attacked the white house like it happened in Russia After that, the US government started to deploy many special systems to prevent uav around the white house and the same situation did not happen again.
I don't know how much you know about radar. Stealth does not really mean they does not show up in Radar, it means it have less signature, thus harder to think what it was, because unlike in the movie, all you see is a blip, it wouldn't tell you if that is a Bomber, a Fighter, a transport, Civ Air or a drone. You, as an radar operator, is the person who need to figure that out.
The thing is, weaponised drone is not something new, I mean even the Ukrainian has been tieing grenade or mortar round on them and drop them in Russian trench since last year, so the "unprepared" is going to be BS. While Radar may not be able to pick up everything or you have a lag time that point you to that's a hostile drone, but then radar is just one of the method to detect them, you can track it by a lot of other means, from sentry to look out. So to say Russian does not expect drone attack and hence this happened is more or less naive.
On the other hand, these drone as we seen on those video is NOT low RCS type,. they are quad copter type and uses propeller, so the Russian Radar system would be able to pick them up, I mean, those drone aren't RQ-4 or RQ-170 or MQ-28 stealth drone. You would have pick up those drone 5 to 10 miles out in any proper radar system.
Well, considering you have something to say to my post, I would say you are the one that got trigger by my post, I mean, that post wasn't even directed at you, if you are not triggered, why reply? So how is it I am triggered for replying to a post you start which pointing at something it have nothing to do with you?Chill matey, hahahha. You are always getting triggered. Lol
Or are you telling me you don't know what triggered mean??
