Does Russia sell there mobile missiles to American Civilians?? This is not good.
This video is a follow up to a discussion that I posted yesterday about the new Russian portable Club K Missile System that is now for sale to any that possess the cash and capital to buy it.

They would be wise to not fly them around down here in the south, at low altitudes anyways.
I know too many 'good ol' boy' Red Necks that will see them as "Good target practice!"

Indeed...I know of a few rural fire departments in South Carolina who always carried shotguns in their fire trucks...so they didn't have to wait too long for the power company to come shut off the power to a house on fire. They'd just shoot the lines down with the shotgun.
Yes...I am completely serious.
A nice white UAV making a low pass over parts of the South could well be misconstrued as anything from a white tailed deer....to Bigfoot. But if it's in range...they often don't try too hard to get a positive ID before firing!!
they are there to protect and serve not intrude upon your privacy.

Hopefully the US government can be responsible ....
It's not enough for the US military to be able to monitor you from afar. The US Army wants its drones to know you through and through, reports Danger Room, and it is imbuing them with the ability to recognise you in a crowd and even to know what you are thinking and feeling.
Like a best friend that at any moment might vaporise you with a hellfire missile.

Most US citizens are aware that US Customs and Border Protection owns and operates a handful of aerial drones along the nation's northern and southern borders (eight Predators to be exact), but when Congress authorised the use of drones along the borders in 2005 it was thought that they would be used strictly to curb illegal immigration and to detect smuggling routes.
But a provision allowing for "interior law enforcement support" is being given fairly liberal interpretation by both the Customs and Border Protection crews that operate the drones and local law enforcement that sometimes wants to borrow CBP's aerial assets

Enter ARGUS, developed for U.S. Army Special Forces by none other than DARPA. ARGUS is a 1.8-gigapixel imaging array constructed from 92 individual 5-megapixel sensors.
In a given moment, ARGUS can monitor up to 93 square kms, and because different imagers can be pointed in different directions and focused on different objectives, the system can offer at least 65 separate video windows at once, each independently scaleable.
$10,000 for his 2010 re-election campaign from Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin is one of at least 50 companies making drones of various sizes and types and it produces
Senators Brown or Hoeven in 2010; Senator Conrad received $22,600 in 2010 from Carlyle Group, which owns ARINC, a company with drone business.)
Congressman McKeon received the following contributions among those for his 2010 campaign:
Lockheed Martin - $52,000
Northrop Grumman - $50,500
Boeing - $28,900
His combined contributions from "defense aerospace" and "defense electronics" were $232,900.
Time magazine reported in 2008 that Barack Obama's campaign "pocketed $870,165 from defense contractor sources, 34% more than the $647,313 in contributions McCain's campaign received from the same sector."
Killing a civilian has very little danger in regards of physical retaliation.
