The missile knows where it is.

[-] zerosignal@lemmy.world 51 points 3 months ago

Because the missile knows where it isn't

Ah, the elephant sculpting method of navigation.

Who wouldn't love https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor_fusion ? It's like you get a magical new sensor that's better than the junk you actually have in your hardware.

Man, I gotta rewatch Peep Show, I loved it every time that insane character showed up.

Can't remember his name, yep, been too long, time for a rewatch.

Tell you what, that crack is really moreish!

That episode, with Mark's friend who plays core englaise in the BNP band is one of my favorite episodes of television.

For any other super hans fans, if you've not seen Withnail and I the drug dealer character in that was a major influence on hans.

I have seen countless posts from this community and I still can't tell what its for

[-] shottymcb@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago

Shitposting related to military matters as far as I can tell.

[-] psmgx@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

AFAIK, long shot OSINT.

kinda like how if you talk enough shit, someone will eventually post a restricted document. keeps happening in the Warthunder forums, for example...

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

It's literally just military shitposting.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

On Reddit there are three:

  • credibledefence - military nerds analysing military history and present conflicts in a serious way with stringent rules
  • lesscredibledefence - fewer rules, casual discussion of mostly current affairs specific to ongoing conflicts
  • noncredibledefence - military memes

Probably just using all the various GPS systems. Unless the Russians are jamming their own system as well.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 22 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Given that the Russians took down all of Ukraine's telecoms only to realize that that meant that they couldn't communicate either, and had to therefore use insecure systems does make me think that perhaps they haven't thought it through.

[-] capnthommo@c.im 7 points 3 months ago

@echodot @IrateAnteater I suspect, despite occasional advances, that on the whole they have thought little of it through. And now their, or rather putines, pride won't let them just say "sorry. We fecked up, just let us back out"

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

This comment exemplifies 90% of all historical human action.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 5 points 3 months ago

I think, they do

I also heard hilarious stories of taxi rides costing more than they should because of GPS spoofing around Moscow city centre teleporting cars far off

[-] Liz@midwest.social 6 points 3 months ago

How does one jam GPS anyway?

[-] psmgx@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

civilian GPS operates at a few fixed frequencies like 1575.42 MHz, 1227.60 MHz, and L5 at 1176.45 MHz (plus 2-3 more; military GPS is a different story). The structure of the GPS data is also fairly well known; all of this is easy to find on the goog.

So you hop on the same frequency start spamming bad GPS data. wrong time stamps, wrong satellite info, etc. with a little effort you can convince a long range missile they're off by 2 miles and should veer left hard.

or you just put a shit ton of noise on the same frequencies and make it so it's forced to use inertial navigation (which isn't very accurate).

[-] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Making lots of fake GPS signals, or just pushing lots of power on a GPS frequency.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
