The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has warned the National Weather Service of possible attacks from an armed conspiracy group targeting Doppler radar stations, according to a report from CNN. The group, Veterans on Patrol, is going after government radars because it believes they’re being used as “weather weapons.”
CNN learned of the possible attacks through NOAA emails warning NWS staff that Veterans on Patrol was planning to conduct “penetration drills on NEXRAD sites to identify weaknesses,” with the ultimate goal of destroying NEXRAD. Despite its cooler-than-average name, the NWS uses NEXRAD or “Next Generation Weather Radar” for a fairly mundane purpose: detecting precipitation in the atmosphere. NEXRAD plays a vital role in locating thunderstorms and tornados, making it easier to evacuate vulnerable communities before disaster strikes.

Idiots and guns - name a more American combination.
Idiots and voting against their own best interests
That’s currently a worldwide phenomenon.
Not true - Australia did it right.
I wish you were wrong
How is it that 2020 was more normal than 2025
My brother is one of these idiots, I dunno how they got him. He’s not part of the militia group but dipshit thinks a local radio tower that just went up is part of the weather control system…
Have you considered sharing more of your crayons? You can fix him
The crayons are mine. They sustain me.
Aaaand that’s how we got here, then
USMC?
Nah.
I’m sorry for you
This is what happens when you don’t fund science education.
This is what happens when you remove the fairness doctrine and allow the alt-right propaganda “news” machine go unchecked.
Shouldn’t vets know what radar is?
“Vet” covers everyone from Air Force Tower Controllers to Navy Seals to the guy in charge of records in a basement in Alaska and more.
For 4 years active duty and 4 years reserve most people are involved in logistics or records, and few of those have to know anything about radar.
I did not know that.
I presumed it meant you’d been on the front lines, or seen combat.
You’re not far off as it is the second definition of the word. “Vietnam vet” “Gulf war vet” etc.
Radicalizing Antenna Disguised As Radiotower
Duuuuuuuuuh 🤣
These are the same people attacked 5G towers during COVID
I’m not sure they are rational
What will they do when 6G comes out
Loads of veterans are victims with PTSD who might attack a car if it backfires
Without proper mental health treatment, loads of vets may dissociate into mania.
MAGAts are complete idiots.
AND brainwashed!
Tomorrow’s news: Trump appoints radar ‘weather weapon’ blogger to head up NOAA.
This extremest group almost makes Trump look sane.
Wait until they hear about the 6G anal probes.
…I wanna hear about 6G anal probes…
For science, of course.
Due to my job with an unnamed government entity, I am unable to disclose the immense pleasure that is coming your way. O_o
There’s open source ones available
This goes so much deeper
