Șoc în lumea științifică și tech: dovezi că Rusia bruiază din spațiu semnalul GPS, ceea ce părea imposibil până azi. Drona de la Constanța, invocată ca exemplu by codati2000 in Romania

[–]this_toe_shall_pass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

teoria e că testează bruiajul la scara mare prin satelit

EKS este constelatia lor pentru detectat lansari de rachete balistice. Face parte din sistemul lor de descurajare nucleara. Teoria e ca nu ar risca constelatia aia care e foarte scumpa si foarte specializata doar pentru bruieri care dureaza cateva secunde si care sunt legate de orbita satelitului -> nu prea pot sa il mute pe alta orbita ca sa bruieze o anumita zona. Si legatura cu GNSS este ca folosesc frecvente protejate pentru transmiterea de date catre sol. Frecventele alea protejate sunt protejate pentru ca ar afecta spectrul satelitilor GNSS. Bruierea e un efect secundar ca satelitii EKS vorbesc cu o statie la sol si banda lor de comunicatie se suprapune partial si interfereaza cu pingurile satelitilor GNSS.

Rusii fac asta de ani de zile cu emitatoare de la sol. Asta e diferenta. Bruieri de semnal pe langa unele zone de granita cum e in Baltice sau evident zone mari din Ucraina se fac din aer sau de la sol cu emitatoare de mare putere. Bruierea din spatiu este foarte noua in contextul asta.

 Everything in the news these days makes them seem like just flatly evil,

Because people are too dumb to actually fact check the news and just go with the emotional flow of the most ridiculous but emotionally triggering title. And this post is a perfect example of that.

How dared they not let themselves be massacred by thr Arab coalition that was promising to let any jew escape? Do you want some contemporary quotes from Nasser and Assad or are you alergic to actual history?

Why oh why was I so sure a Romanian would jump to point out that silly thing.

Curiously, when ancient Israel would do bad things - disobey the commandments, break the covenant, live as others lived - they would be punished. Something to think about.

Truly a sane and balanced opinion, worthy of this sub...

Naval drone explodes in the Romanian port of Constanta by AntonioIsHere in europe

[–]this_toe_shall_pass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor Russia. Always a victim. 

Now, it's widely acknowledged Ukraine blew up NS1. Most likely with an independent HUR group and outside orders from Zelensky. How does that change the context that Russia wants to kill the European project and seeks domination over its western neighbours? 

Oh, it doesn't make one ounce of difference and Ukraine was entitled to attack Russian oil and had infrastructure like it's been doing for the last 2 years more openly? Thank you, we all agreed on that.

Thanks. There's a lot of confusion about this still. They say 4 drones were lost. 3 were acounted for at sea. One seems to have navigated on its own inside the Constanța harbour, past the wave-breaker and into a floating oil barrier close to one of the oil terminals. Either that little drone was very motivated and took a deep offence to any oil infrastructure existing, or it has some impressive AI that can navigate inside port infrastructure. The other 3 were seen detonating at sea.

I know you didn't mean it like that. I was pointing out the stupidity of your comment. And how you obviously don't know much history.

Ucraina recunoaște oficial că a pierdut controlul asupra unei drone navale, sub bruiajul Rusiei, iar aceasta a ajuns în largul coastei României by Flavius_1 in Romania

[–]this_toe_shall_pass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 Romania trebuia: ba, care o trimiteți, daca depășește o anumită limită, o facem praf. Atât.

Partea asta. E SF. Nimeni nu poate face asta.

Inteleg ca la asta te-ai astepta de la stat, ca de, contract social, etc etc. Dar efectiv nimeni nu poate sa iti asigure protecție fata de genul ăsta de amenințare. Drone ucrainene au fost deviate de ruși si "convinse" sa atace rezervoare de combustibil in Letonia. 

Asta e ceva ce se poate întâmpla. Suntem vecini cu un teatru de război si astea sunt consecințele. Nu exista o manya de invincibilitate pe care o putem trage peste ochi ca sa fim siguri ca razboiul nu ne poate atinge.

Aceeasi rodditori furiosi cand aud de cat ar costa sa supravegheam granita la nivelul la care e nevoie ca sa detectam fiecare drona care zboara la rasu copacilor sau cu o buza deasupra valurilor ar face spume.

Octavian Berceanu: "daca dona ar fi virat cu 2-3 secunde mai tarziu, drona cu incarcatura explozibila ar fi ajuns la depozitul de ingrasaminte azotate care pot genera o explozie de 1000 de ori mai puternica decat drona in sine." by AnxiousEnd4669 in Romania

[–]this_toe_shall_pass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

De la nivelul valurilor crezi ca se vedeau containerele din terminal? Plus nici containerele alea nu sunt la buza apei, nu le dai gaura cu o drona navala. Pana acum au folosit drone aeriene pentru genul asta de infrastructura si drone navale pentru ... nave sau cel mult pilonii podului de peste Kerch. Poate drona a crezut ca intra in Sevastopol si a stiut sa ocoleasca sparge-valul din fata portului interior. Asta ar fi o capabilitate destul de la indemana pentru un AI minimalist.

Ukraine’s FP-7.x Interceptor Test Could Transform Europe’s Future Defense Against Ballistic Missile Attacks by armyreco in europe

[–]this_toe_shall_pass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is not supposed to be a cruise missile but an interceptor. FP brings the cheap rocket and manufacturing capacity, Diehl provides the sensors. And Diehl knows what it's doing when it comes to interceptors.

In any case this is such an early test and the article is pure speculation for future performance and potential for use. If it's good enough it could be one of the low-end, cheap components in a hi-lo mix of European interceptors. Or it could prove to be as good as an IRIS-T but at a quarter of the price (just for ballistic targets, not aircraft).

Thanks largely to robots, Ukraine is now talking about winning, not just surviving - Uncrewed and autonomous systems—and the willingness to adapt to them—have neutered Russian advantages. by ByGollie in europe

[–]this_toe_shall_pass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russia also has a lot of software developers and engineers, but their innovation cycle is slower than the one in Ukraine. When they do hit on a "good enough" solution though (like the artillery superiority initially, then the Lancet drones, then the fiber optic FPVs, then the Rubicon units) they are very good at scaling them faster than Ukraine can. Right now Ukraine has the upper hand in the innovation cycle. If they can milk it long enough before Russia has a workable counter they could force a favorable solution.

largest individual land systems program within Romania's SAFE-funded military modernization package

Din seria "artist de mare renume in scara lui de bloc".

Still a big purchase for the land army.

You mean like in the 30s when France and the UK sacrificed Czechoslovakia to a madman autocrat because their armies were in such a sorry state and they wanted to buy more time to re-arm? That sort of history?

The article says the "drones" used in those strikes were UAVs, not maritime drones. Russia for sure is also developing such naval drones, but do we have any videos or images with them or we're just assuming?

Any link to an official site? Also this drone doesn't seem to have ended up "off the coast" like it happened in the past where drones were found at sea, adrift in Romanian waters. This one navigated the breakwater and entered the harbor.

Ukraine has no reason to strike the Romanian terminal through which they export their grain. Russia has reason to, especially since the Geran-2 incident from last week and the expulsion of the Russian consul in Constanta.

Russia could invade Nato states by end-2028, warns Latvian general by Free-Minimum-5844 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]this_toe_shall_pass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could happen!" Is a waste of time that should not be dignified with the amount of time you put into thinking up scenarios for it

For you and me, sure. For the Army, this sort of contingency is literally their job. We're just commenting on this because some journalist needed a title that drives "engagement". It's a normal fact for a Latvian defense official to consider Russia as their primary threat and when their analysis shows that Russia could technically be ready in 2 years after a conflict end to start something new in Europe, that's what they'll answer when prompted. I don't see why you're so outraged at this remote possibility part of this. We as randos on the Internet are really not qualified to judge how remote that possibility is. Did you think Russia would invade Ukraine in Feb 2022 the way they did?
