As everyone flips out about deploying new, advanced weapons to defend air bases from small drone attacks, maybe get the basics down first.
Small drones aren't needed to cripple Britain's air force at home:
A security review has been launched across UK military bases after pro-Palestinian activists broke into RAF Brize Norton and sprayed two military planes with red paint.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer condemned the action as "disgraceful", saying it was an "act of vandalism".
How easily vandalism with red paint could have been sabotage with explosives, eh? So maybe first put armed and alert guards on duty. Defending fences and barriers. And of course hardened aircraft shelters will protect planes from paint or explosives.
Then get those fancy small drone counter-measures, by all means.
UPDATE: Members of Congress are skipping right to the fancy stuff.
