Foreign farmland purchases near US military bases raise new concerns over drone threats

After Ukraine launched a sudden attack on drones on Russian facilities, it caught new attention to the weaknesses in the United States, regardless of the side in which the United States stood in the Kiev attack.

In recent years, the entities associated with the Communist Party of China have targeted commercial lands around the United States, including in the vicinity of sensitive facilities such as the Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota.

The purchase of agricultural land, which has an area of ​​300 acres for the Fuffeng Group in 2021, for the first time, raised the group antennas to congress to such transactions under the radar-even the governor of Florida Ron, Ron Deantis, which quickly banned it in his home as a result, among other efforts across the country.

On Tuesday, North Dakota Senators agreed that the United States should remain vigilant for any malicious activity, whether it is a relatively new drone attacks to possible spying through real estate transactions.

Experts say the sudden attack of Ukraine indicates that it may require a “major drone” strike to change the US defense policy.

Republican senator Kevin Kramer told Fox News Digital:

“Our situation must always be awake, and it is never assumed that foreign actors are benign or enjoy the best intentions,” he said. “Whether it is direct espionage, or indirectly influencing, or sending drones to detonate aircraft, the enemy’s ability increases when we allow them to easily reach our national interests.”

Cramer’s Flickrtail State, John Hoeven, joined an attempt to prevent such lands, and worked with federal partners to update the process in which foreign investment analysis is to be approved.

Hoffen, who is participating in his sponsorship of South South Dakota, told Senator Mike Guls, who prohibits China, Russia, and North Korea entities from buying agricultural or sensitive federal lands.

“At the same time, we are working to update the CFIUS process [which governs federal approval of foreign investments] To ensure the right reviews also, “Hofin said.

“We are also developing the technology we need to protect our local military bases from possible drone threats.”

The Rollen Bill also enjoys the support of the two parties, including Senator Catherine Cortez -Setto, De Neve, whose term also hosts sensitive government sites such as the Nellis Air Force Base and the 51st region.

“It is logical that we do not allow our foreign opponents to buy agricultural lands near these sites,” Masto said in a statement.
