There is probably a lot of high tech jamming and EW equipment used by the secret service
They saw a shooter climbing on a roof and were like: hah, that’s interesting. And now you’re telling me the use some high tech equipment to prevent assassination by drones. Riiiight.
Ai copilot? Wouldn’t do much against an emp, I suppose.
Get it going on a ballistic trajectory out of range of the target and then it doesn’t matter if it gets jammed.
This sounds like artillery with extra steps.
There is no report when you launch a drone, unlike when you fire a mortar. Also, flying a drone is a lot safer and more consistent than trying to fire and aim a homemade mortar.
You’re right that it is a stationary target, probably doable by image recognition, even with GPS jamming. Still, bit more sophistication required than just strapping a grenade to a dji.
But you could use an optical guided drone. Oh wait it’s a TOW. We’re using TOWs again.
