Crazy conspiracy thought - retaliatory Iranian drone strike on our Permian Basin oil infrastructure via partnership with Mexican cartels? Fits the timeline but way, way speculative

I think we are testing some reversed engineered "tic-tac" type of vehicle and do not want anyone to see it.

Why do that near a city when there are better options further west?

Thanks for the heads-up. To be fair, I don't watch the show so I wasn't stealing the idea

Not crazy , somewhat logical that an asymmetrical attack might happen if we continue on this path

You can only push certain foreign countries so far before they retaliate

There are a handful of reasons we tolerate the BS from Iran. Our massive soft infrastructure is one of them

fort Bliss is a Large Missile range and has white sands next to it.

We are probably testing anti -drone defense system or sensors, Or a stealth missile and need background noise (aircraft) at a minimum.

Hearing New Orleans for 5 days as well. Maybe start prepping and make a grocery run?

All this is from the deck to 18k ft, with a fairly large radius. 10 day clampdown, no outbound flights either.

So, what is happening at ground level? Any checkpoints? Ground vehicular restrictions?
"Green" is the new RED.

This seems odd. Why are they not impacted?

My guess is testing or using an anti drone system against Cartel drones.

As another tidbit, they issued a similar TFR just west of El Paso for the same length of time.




There's nothing out there.. very strange.

NOLA Notam is the same one they issue every year for Mardi Gras. Seems unrelated.

Don't understand why the major commercial airlines haven't posted cancellations yet. Goes to show how incompetent their system and processes are. AA showing all flights as "delayed". Guess it is a 10 day delay!

Ten days is a long time to perform anti-Cartel drone operations which is one of the scenarios being pushed on X.

The rumors of credible threats of either Iran or Cartels smuggling manpads to the border seem more plausible to me.

Maybe? I dunno, but I will certainly celebrate if the cartels ground infrastructure is struck shortly.

I can book a non stop to ELP with no issue. Guess they missed the memo and would gladly take your money.

They're probably guessing this won't actually last 10 days. Very easy to refund money.
