Drones are legal in the US, they can be made using a 3d printer which are also legal. So what has happened in Russia could very well happen here in the US.
The drones can be loaded up with plastic explosive which can also be made in the US using legally obtained chemicals and these drones can be operated by AI.
Imagine these trucks with the drones near oil refineries in Texas and New Jersey?
Imagine they are near military bases.
If the drone takes off 1 mile away from the target and is travelling at 60 mph then the target has 1 minute warning.
Power plants, sub stations, military bases, and even data centers could be hit.
One of these AI factories (new name for a data center or server farm) might be a hardened target, even underground. But what about the power source? What about the cooling? If you take out the power or the cooling you take out the AI factory.
You can get within a mile of the Pentagon, a mile within the NSA, CIA, FBI, etc. What has happened in Russia could be done a hundred times over in the US.
What about Wall Street and the NYSE, Nasdaq and other exchanges. You can get within two or three blocks of those targets. Yes, they keep back up records at some secure server farm, but it can't be too hard for China, Russia or Iran to figure out where the backups are.
If they bring down the power grid, and there is no way to prevent them from doing that, then the police will be overwhelmed and so a targeted attack on our Banking infrastructure would certainly be open to a kinetic attack.
