Jesse Kelly and John Solomon on the Reality of Drone Warfare – “Missiles are Expensive. Drones are Cheap” (VIDEO)

Jesse Kelly of “The First” spoke to “Just the News” founder John Solomon on the threat of drone warfare in the United States over the weekend.

The interview covered potential threats, including soft targets like malls and other public places.

“You’ve heard about drones taking place over there. They are coming from Yemen! But it’s happening here. Right here as well,” Kelly said.

“Joining me now, the wonderful John Solomon, founder of ‘Just the News,'” Kelly said.

“We saw the airspace in El Paso was closed. What? What happened?” Kelly asked.

“We have these new drone protection capabilities that find penetrations quicker and faster,” Solomon said.

“They alert us quicker on unidentified flying objects, and then if they meet a certain shape or size, there is an opportunity to blow them out of the sky with non-missiles. Things like lasers and other capabilities,” Solomon continued.

“Something that resembled a drone or a balloon. We immediately close down the airspace,” Solomon said.

“Then the airspace is reopened. That is the sort of rapid response that we want in America, not the sort of torture, excuse making response we saw with the Chinese spy balloon a couple of years ago,” Solomon explained.

“Can you help me understand at least from the people you talked to. How many entities out there are using these things potentially for nefarious purposes? As you mentioned Hamas, everyone is gonna know that. Cartels, we all know that now,” Kelly asked.

“Who else is using this stuff?” Kelly asked.

“The Houthis for sure. For a long time, Houthis in Yemen would only fire missiles,” Solomon said.

“Missiles are expensive. Drones are cheap, and then they began going to these more inexpensive drones to create the same sort of capabilities,” Solomon continued.

“You could pick something up tomorrow at a Best Buy, a Walmart or at Amazon that costs a thousand bucks. That can carry a small payload like maybe, some germs,” Solomon said.

“We know it’s very possible and the bad guys are thinking that way,” Solomon warned of soft targets like Disney World.

“Are private companies being proactive about this, or are they lagging seriously behind?” Kelly asked.

Solomon explained that regarding infrastructure, security has been getting better. He explained also that high profile events like the Olympics and the World Cup have a high priority for security and drone detection.

Solomon explained that the soft targets like shopping malls are a concern because it is more difficult to protect places like that.
