That is plainly wrong in almost every country. Objects, sites and facilities in plain sight, even for the general public, can be forbidden to photograph/publish. Your common civilian airports often fall under protected object status. MIlitary airport definitely falls under protected object...

The video indicates that explosives can be on an external hardpoint. See 0:12 and 7:30

The production cost of Shahed is most likely below 10k, but I know that people talk about 20-30k as well. Producing these is obviously not difficult for TEI, as even an amateur could design something similar (excluding the explosives). Youtube is even full of more advanced amateur-designed...

GPS spoofing was already mentioned in my reply as a weakness of Shahed. To interfere with INS, you need EMP, which is a completely different beast compared to EW. To my understanding, nobody is using EMP in any ongoing conflicts. The inherent disadvantage of INS is the drift of around 1-5%. So...

1. AAA guns are limited due to their cost and short range and are easy targets for aircraft, as evident by Karabag/Iran/.... Dedicated small 1k$ drones that can be carried and launched by a single soldier are better options, similar to what Ukraine is doing. 2. Shahed does not have...

We need nukes. The French are placing them in several EU countries. Others, such as Poland and Germany, are talking about developing their own. Others are are most likely considering them but not making it public. Then we have Israel. Turkey MUST get nukes asap.

the launch support would only last for about 2 seconds, so the required energy is about 30 kWh with your number. This seems doable when your typical EV have about 100 kWh and can deliver 1MW (e.g. some BYD models). For extra umph, you can add some capacitor banks and parallel connect 10 EV...

Depends on the receiving antenna. It can jam if it is omnidirectional antenna like you have on your phone. It will not jam if it directional antenna like your satellite dish antenna.

Thanks but that exactly the same definition as I gave. I never said anything of number of nodes jumps to reach an endpoint. For the discussion at hand, it is typically just one node jump, namely the sattelite between drone and ground control. It could obviously be more nodes, for example more...

* Broadcasting does a lot of things other than just send the signal point-to-point. It could go through multiple sats to go to the other side of earth. This is not relevant. * power electronics duty is to supply the needed power. The power levels can be anything from mW to kW. This is not...

Can kardeşim, latency is defined as the time it takes to send and receive a signal one time, not multiple times. If you do multiple round-trips (like drone>sat>controls>human>control>sat>drone as you describe) then you also have to include human reaction time, which could easily be in the 2...

Luckily, communication does not work with power electroctronics for the actaul communication, they work with radio electronics. Also, the transmitted radio wave is by definition at ligthspeed and it is the same for every single creature in the universe (Einstein's theory of relativity). So...

You are off by a factor of 10X. A +2 second latency would put the sattelite on the moon at about 1-lightsecond distance (it varies between 360-405 kkm). For a geostationary satellite at 36,000 km, the signal delay is about 240 milliseconds round-trip. You can add a few 10's of milliseconds due...

People do not want to pay 50k€ for a small car, even in Europe. They want a cheap, basic car without too much finesse. Therefore, autonomous functions should only be included in the more expensive models, not a model for <30k. They would sell like hot cakes if they could sell a small car for...

Every is dependent on Chinese batteries. They have invested heavily in the technology and are the largest producer with the most advanced technology.
