Gloria Vance · World News AnchorGood evening. The Wall Street Journal reports a suspected Iranian drone plot is raising security questions at U.K. bases.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe WSJ says drone warfare forces a hard question: how do you protect big, expensive assets like bombers, even thousands of miles from the front lines?
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, easy. Put a really big tarp on the bomber. Nobody attacks what they can't see. That's just hide and seek.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorKenji, I once watched an embassy try that with a tarp. It was a very expensive tent, and I was asked to leave.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, but a billion-dollar bomber versus a drone that costs less than my gaming chair? That math is rough, bro.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe WSJ makes no price claims, so we will not. The plot is alleged, and the facts are still emerging.
