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?!

No, you see, they're only shooting giant swastikas at them because it's a gag

Hexbear isn't federated with sopuli.xyz but I checked the crosspost and dear god I regret reading the comments. Even the head mod of the community was defending Bandera 🤮

These people live in their own separate reality, it's absurd. At least give Khrushchev some credit for one of the few cool things he did! Too bad I can't dunk on them since we don't federate with them.

"Bandera was a nazi" is neither true nor false

centrist

it is a secret third thing...

The secret third thing...

Bandera is in a superposition of being both a nazi and not a nazi until you collapse the waveform by looking up what he was doing during the holocaust.

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

Surprisingly common type of guy.

[-] oculi@anarchist.nexus 12 points 2 months ago

I genuinely have no clue what this fucking means. Schrödinger's Nazi???

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Stalin's Soul was bound to the earth due to his excessive usage of Necromancy hence he never really died in 1953. Bandera was killed by a human who was possessed by the Eternal Spirit of Joseph Stalin on his eternal quest to hunt Nazis.

"it's neither true nor false" that means it's true dawg

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

I saw some guy on a reddit post a while ago who kept saying over and over again that Bandera died in a nazi concentration camp. Multiple people linked him to the Bandera wiki page and he just kept going lol

[-] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

Holy shit they unironically spell it "ruzzian" 😂

Euros sure like their nazi collaborators eu-cool

[-] oculi@anarchist.nexus 7 points 2 months ago

Can't wait till we have custom emojis on our instance, euro-cool is too good to not use

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago

Bandera collaborated with the Nazis directly near the end of the war to fight the Soviets (though he was between a rock and a hard place here, I admit).

[-] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Rock and a hard place

I'm upset.

[-] thankyouforyourattentiontothismatter@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Well, of course they are. It's a Finnish server. You need to read the Tuomas Tepora book. Everybody in Finland is an insane Nazi.

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago

"Let's undermine Russia's Banderite accusations by referencing Bandera even more!"

[-] Jabril@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago

It's the comic where the guy keeps getting more and more Nazi but saying he is only doing it because he keeps getting called a Nazi

Does this even do anything in an electronic warfare way? Is this like some weird fascist cargo cult in the process of becoming?

[-] StalinIsMaiWaifu@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Im sorry are they ddosing a missile?

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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?

[-] StalinIsMaiWaifu@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 months ago

To oversimplify, yes.

The missile will still explode, just not necessarily where it's supposed to.

[-] RaspberryTuba@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I’m pretty sure GPS/GLONASS are widely spoofed/jammed along the entire front. Bit of an issue for civilians anywhere nearby, but military tech’s built to operate without it with relatively high precision.

The rest is just “haha, fascism.”

[-] StalinIsMaiWaifu@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 months ago

If you're talking about inertial Navigation it is not even relatively good, it's drift rate was measured in m/s. Granted it's been a hot second so maybe there were improvements but I don't think anyone is putting top grade instruments into a missile.

[-] RaspberryTuba@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It’s not great but it’s pretty good for a large explosive. What gets silly is the original guided dumb bomb kits were just pure satellite navigation and they can be made to go way off by a peer adversary.

A modern inertial system can get within about 100m accuracy over intercontinental ranges though, and proper cruise missiles use terrain matching and whatnot to reduce that to nothing.
