 The Standard: Dozens of Russian drones are being “lost” over Ukraine which is spoofing some of them to fly back towards Russia or Belarus, according to military experts. Ukraine’s air defence downed 21 drones out of 43 launched by Russia in an overnight attack on Monday targeting six regions across the country, the Ukrainian air force said. Drone debris damaged residential houses in the eastern Kharkiv region and in the Odesa region in the south, regional officials said. Kyiv ’s air force said that 22 other drones were “lost”. Military analysts said Ukraine was increasingly using electronic warfare to redirect or spoof “kamikaze” Russian drones, some supplied by Iran. This involves interfering with, and confusing, their navigation systems so they start targeting a different location. The tactic is believed to enable Ukraine to instruct the drones to instead head towards sites in Russia or Belarus. But the electronic warfare can also affect other devices, including civilians’ m...

 Fox News: As drone sightings over New Jersey continue to raise questions, a new tool could bring answers about the source of these flying vehicles — if the government could get it off the ground. Earlier this year, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began requiring all unmanned aircraft systems to be equipped with Remote ID technology, which makes every equipped drone uniquely identifiable to authorities, like a license plate on a car. The FAA announced that it would provide a database that could be accessed by local law enforcement, but nearly one year later, local authorities still can't get into it themselves. ... According to a report published in June by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the FAA has not yet provided a way for law enforcement agencies to use Remote ID technology to respond to a potential threat or investigate suspicious drone activity. A representative from New Jersey’s Belleville Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that its offi...

 Daily Mail: An interactive map has revealed a disturbing pattern in drone sightings across the US. An unexplained drone invasion has targeted America's military bases worldwide since October, beginning with a swarm over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia . The pattern became evident when similar activity was reported over New Jersey's Picatinny Arsenal on November 18. Less than one week later, US bases in England and Germany began grappling with incursions by 'small unmanned aerial systems.' Back in America sightings were gaining traction. 'Multiple' instances of drones appeared over New Jersey's Navy weapons station, and Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base closed its airspace due to similar activity on December 13. The list of affected bases continues to grow, with one in Texas joining the ranks after drones were spotted on December 18. In White Settlement —home to the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth and Lockheed Martin—residents a...

Newsmax:  Sen. Thune to Newsmax: Biden Needs a 'Better Answer' on Drones ...  "I think the American people are understandably frustrated and understandably distrustful of the information that they're getting from the administration. But, you know, this is an issue that is very much on the minds of Americans, particularly in areas around the country where we're seeing a lot of the drone traffic. And I think the administration has to come up with a better answer," Thune said during an appearance on "The Record With Greta Van Susteren." ...

De Blasio also discussed the ongoing immigrant situation in New York City, after having introduced man...

 Newsmax: House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul, R-Texas, asserted Tuesday that at least some of the unidentified aircraft that have been roaming the skies over the East Coast are Chinese "spy drones." McCaul made the comments to reporters prior to receiving a classified briefing about the drone activity, the New York Post reported. "I was with the NASA administrator, Bill Nelson, he said that these drones have been reported over military sites, military bases. I would not think those are friendly. I would think those are adversarial," McCaul said, according to the Post. "We need to identify who is behind these drones," he said. "My judgment based on my experience is that those that are over our military sites are adversarial and most likely are coming from the People's Republic of China." McCaul as well as other members of the House Intelligence Committee were briefed Tuesday by the FBI, CIA, and Pentagon. Biden administration...

 Blaze: President-elect Donald Trump commented Monday on the controversy over mysterious drones sighted over New Jersey and other locations. Trump said that he believes the government knows what the drones actually are and claimed the public is not being told the truth. He was taking questions from reporters from Palm Beach, Florida, when he made the comments. “The government knows what is happening," said Trump. "Our military knows where they took off from. If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went. And for some reason, they don't want to comment. And I think they'd be better off saying what it is," he added. "Our military knows and our president knows," Trump continued. "And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense. I can't imagine it's the enemy, because if it was the enemy, they'd blast it out.” He noted that the drones were sighted over Bedminster, where he...

 Steve Deace: Let’s talk about what’s going on in the airspace over New Jersey. Because on this night before Christmas, what to my wondering eyes did appear but possibly Iranian-guided, Chinese-financed drones that are leaving far more than visions of sugarplums dancing in my head. Right off the bat, I think we’ve got an epistemological problem here. Raise your hand if you would simply take at face value any explanation the current United States government would give you about this. I don't know what they could possibly tell us that would create calm amid the cold civil war they started and perpetuated with scamdemics and transgendering our kids. Our current worldview clash governs everything, even when literal UFOs hover in the sky. Considering the sketchy and manipulative filter through which we must view reality today, I believe we have four options to explain what in the Donder and Blitzen is going on here. 1. It’s the option presented by New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew , a membe...

KIRBY: “We know people are afraid. We know people have concerns. We have those same concerns.” Kirby said not even drones that are stalking Coast Guard ships off the coast of the U.S. will be taken down.
