Came here to say this. Those inclined to read this thread might perhaps find more interesting the UK's early problems with the EULA for the (US) DSMAC navigation database used in Stormshadow cruise missiles donated to Ukrainian forces in the Russian invasion of Ukraine: without US permission for long range strikes into Russia, the missiles could only use GPS to navigate, and GPS can be "jammed".

"One solution to EW jamming of drone control frequencies is to broaden the control channel, as seen in this 250 MHz wide channel of a Russian fixed-wing UAV.

Control 'packets' are duplicated throughout the channel, and some will tend to get through weak spots in a jamming barrier."

Continued thread

you ever just... feel super gd gross despite doing (nigh) everything right?

Like, except exercise, I did the food, hydration, meds, even salt and blood sugar, more water -- I fucked up the timing on some of these so I just get to Feel Like Dogshit for a few hours, in repentance.

But generally, as best I could / can be expected, and just need to be propelled through it by the velocity of time.

"Leonardo UK has publicly rolled out its BriteStorm electronic warfare system that allows air forces to penetrate hostile airspace by creating phantom squadrons of fighter planes and missiles to jam and spoof radar defenses.

Imagine a military command and control center in the near future. It could be during an exercise or an actual crisis. The operators of the Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) detect an incoming group of hostile aircraft. As the countermeasures go to full alert, the sensors of the IADS try to learn more about the intruders, their numbers, and possible threats.

Suddenly, the readouts go crazy. Some sectors go blank. Others are blinded by jamming signals. Worse, through the confusing blur of radar signals comes solid information. The invading force is made up of several large squadrons of fighters and bombers flying behind a wall of cruise missiles zeroing in on their targets, launching weapons as they approach.

Anti-aircraft missiles launch to meet the threat while others remain unfired due to confusion. As they intercept the approaching force, some missiles go off course while others fly right through their targets as if they were never there. As the defenders look at emptied or disabled launchers, the attackers press home with minimal casualties."

🆘🆘🆘 Urgent collection for #EW and cars for our defenders of the artillery batteries of the 241 brigade and 148 artillery brigade, which are currently in a hot spot in the #Zaporozhye direction!

You all understand that cars are consumables at the front. But there is no way without it, because it is the delivery of water, food, evacuation... The car is the life of the DEFENDERS, and the REB is the protection of the car!🇺🇦
