A new technology designed to destroy drones is called THOR – Tactical High-power Operational Responder – created by the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL). It can destroy just one, or an entire fleet of drones at once. An animated video of its capabilities was released on June 8, 2021. The system output is powerful radio wave bursts, which offer a greater engagement range than bullets or nets, and its effects are silent and instantaneous.

Drones have become a significant problem for the US Military. No, not the hobbyist type of drones, but the ones used by enemies who target US military facilities. Unmanned drones armed with explosives can take out buildings, runways, aircraft, vehicles, and people in the blink of an eye. THOR is a “counter swarm electromagnetic” weapon created for the defense of air bases. The dangers of drones – Screenshot via AFRL THOR engages the swarm silently at the speed of light, dropping them out of the sky. Screenshot via AFRL As technology advances for the bad guys, so it is also advancing to defeat them. THOR, a first of its kind system, stows completely in a 20 foot transport container, which can easily be transported in a C-130. The system can be set up within 3 hours and has a user interface that has been designed to require minimal user training. The overall cost to develop the technology was approximately $15 million dollars…
The system uses high power microwaves to cause a counter electronic effect. A target is identified, the silent weapon discharges in a nanosecond and the impact is instantaneous. It only takes two people to set up the weapon, and it’s easily transported. The weapon discharges at the speed of light and it’s cheap compared to other technologies. Protecting military bases with this technology will be more effective for a engaging a fleet of explosive-laden drones than the current range of anti-drone capabilities.
The US Army is also considering investing in THOR, along with […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
