Night Watch told 404 Media that it used this Lima to take down 19 Kinzhals in the past two weeks. First, it replaces the missile’s satellite navigation signals with the Ukrainian song “Our Father Is Bandera.”
Any digital noise or random signal would work to jam the navigation system, but Night Watch wanted to use the song because they think it’s funny. “We just send a song…we just make it into binary code, you know, like 010101, and just send it to the Russian navigation system,” Night Watch said. “It’s just kind of a joke. [Bandera] is a Ukrainian nationalist and Russia tries to use this person in their propaganda to say all Ukrainians are Nazis. They always try to scare the Russian people that Ukrainians are, culturally, all the same as Bandera.”
You see, we're not actually Nazis, it's just a funny joke! What's so bad about a silly song?!
It can, the missiles receive positional data for navigation, broadcasting raw streams of data at the missile makes it harder for the missile to figure out where it's going.
Im sorry are they ddosing a missile?
that's what it sounds like, they said they're taking the song----> binary, shooting the binary at the missiles somehow
what's funny imo is describing how this works kind of tells us ye olde peasantry that missiles with similar guidance systems are vulnerable to this sort of thing. Hamas, you listening homie?
To oversimplify, yes.
The missile will still explode, just not necessarily where it's supposed to.
