Neither President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, nor British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, nor one of their senior military or political advisers, saw the Japanese attacks at the end of 1941. The forces of the imperial Japan reached total surprise in the Pacific.
The information errors in the US prior to Pearl Harbor were catastrophic. For example, the general underestimation of Great Britain was the threat of the imperial Japan. The British Fortpost in the Pacific Ocean in Singapore was supposed to be, if not impregnable than as close as possible.
Almost all Americans know the disaster of December 7, 1941. The Battle of Singapore lasted seven days. The British forces surrendered Singapore on February 15, 1942. No one had thought to strengthen the ‘back door’ of the peninsula, assuming that the Malaysian jungle was impenetrable. It wasn’t.
Drone raids on American bases are being examined intensively because devices prove deadliness abroad
Surprise at this level wins fights, but of course does not guarantee a success in a war, as the defeat of Imperial Japan by the allies demonstrates in 1945. Yet this scale of intelligence failure has always been proven catastrophically, such as 9/11 and 10/7.
Ukraine aroused the world for the far-reaching implications of new warfare technology when it launched a surprise drone attack on 1 June of this year aimed at several Russian air bases deep in Russian territory, including locations in Siberia. More than 100 small, commercially available drones were smuggled and launched in Russia from trucks near the air bases, many bombers stand out and harm or destroy strategic bombers in the Russian fleet. Ukrainian drones attacked airports in five regions that extend over five time zones: Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan and Amur.
Less than two weeks later, Israel activated his Mossad Intelligence Agency activated in Iran for a long period of his Mossad Intelligence Agency. When they gathered in Iran, the unmanned aircraft (UAVs or drones) from Iran in combination with Israel’s opening lids from Israel were launched on Iranian regime goals on 13 June. Sources that are familiar with the operation that the foundation for the defense of democracies had told that Israel used, trucks, trucks and containers to Clandestinelie to send the parts in Iran.
Welcome to the new surprise attack – one that comes in the form of small projectiles that have been fired from a country, not from outside. Russia and Iran are of course closed societies that are authoritarian that are to the totalitarian.

The United States, on the other hand, are an open society that already had a wide open southern border in 19 January 2025 before the inauguration of President Trump. Drones should not even be smuggled across that limit that is hidden as much as “drones” marked in boxes.
What the domestic terrorism forces of the United States, as well as the army of the United States, do to prevent such attacks within the United States, is not known. What is known in bits and bits is alarming. The New York Post, for example, reported in June 2024 that agricultural land in Chinese is located next to 19 American military bases, including Fort Liberty in North Carolina and Fort Cavazos in Texas.

An illegal, Chinese Biolab was discovered at the end of 2022 in Reedley, California. Within the dozens of freezers and explosion coolers of the laboratory were able to reach negative 80 degrees Fahrenheit, biological means such as HIV, COVID, Chlamydia, Rudella, Malaria and about sixteen other infective agents, all identified by the CDC. The owner of the lab was subsequently accused of spreading forged and misunderstood COVID-19 test kits and with the making of false statements to authorities about his identity and involvement in the bioolabs.
Sometimes agricultural land is taken over for agriculture, drones are only recreational drones and laboratories are just testing of facilities. However, it would be nice to know that the FBI is on top of the threat and the previously unlikely treat if not just the stuff of thrillers and streaming services, but the future of warfare.
