“found a way” and definitely not aided by the fascist company owner, who has definitely never ever taken money from the aggressors that “found a way” to jam his Satellites
Jamming is easy though.
Just get a big transmitter, and transmit on the same frequency. If you overpower the signal on the reciever end enough that they can't make out a signal anymore, you've succesfully jammed it. You can fight that in a few ways, with a directional antenna, better signal processing to drown out the noise, better signal redudancy to make the processing easier, etc etc. In the end, it's just basics physics.
Of course, the downside of having a really big long range transmitter (like a jammer or rada) is that it's super easy to shoot a missile at it.
You think a relative technological breakthrough is less likely than the guy who is providing Ukraine with Starlink for free is at the same time telling the Russian how to jam it? So he would make sooner or later public a vulnerability in his own technology (which he sells)? Doesn't male any sense. It's easy and satisfying to think that all evil people plan together evil things all the time, but more often than not the answer is simpler than a cospiracy theory based on feelings.
Musk had to have his arm twisted to provide Starlink to Ukraine, and actually tried to shut down their use in the past. Further, jamming satellites is not a mysterious breakthrough vulnerability, its tech thats older than most of the people here.
Seems kind of bigoted to think the Russians are incapable of advanced tech warfare imo
Do you equate a nation's military with its majority ethnicity?
Do you like chocolate milk on your cereal?
I've never tried, our local dairy industry tends not to adulterate its products, and chocolate milk tends to be made instead with cheap shelf-stable UHT rubbish.
Are you avoiding my question?
Just asking you an equally as irrelevant and silly question!
That's a yes then. Would you like if I explained the relevance of the question, perhaps with a comparative example that doesn't trigger your automated defense of your, uh, anti-imperialist freedom fighters? Do you think he would be calling the Irish incapable of advanced technology if he noticed that our airforce consists of like 2 Pilatus PC-9s?
Do you put your pants on first or your shirt?
That very much depends why I took them off, with a complicating factor of temperature. Shower - pants. Bedroom activities - shirt. Warm - shirt. Cold - pants. The relationship between these isn't linear either.
Have you always been a coward about defending your convictions or was it a learned behaviour because of repeated rejections?
Do you often not take the hint that someone isn't interested in having a conversation with you?
I don't owe you anything, especially answers to your stupid ass questions, lmao.
Yes, but only if they've made a clown of themselves by doing something hilarious like calling someone bigoted for having a low opinion of the superpower that can't conquer a few hundred kilometres of its own "border". That's when it's most fun.
You don't owe me anything, correct. You can just stop at any time. Quite symbolic really - rushing in with an offensive because of some imagined slight on the Russian people, crumbling at the first sign of resistance, deflecting for much longer than was necessary and then declaring you didn't really care about it anyway. Remind you of anything?
Sorry that happened to you, or congratulations!
I ain't readin that 👍
If you were on your hexbear account, what image macro would you use to express the emotions that lead you to this point?
I don't know what hexbear is, let alone have an account. I'll be honest with you I don't even know what an image macro is. I spend most of my time outside when I'm not shit posting here.
Russian commanders in shock that you can target something that doesn't have one or more human lives inside of it.
I mean, I applaud them jamming Starlink, because it'll piss off Musk, but I'm barracking for Ukraine in the long run.
Sounds like a real easy system to counter. Since these jammers broadcast on a frequency you just need a sensor that detects that frequency for a missile to home in on and a few dummy drones to trigger the use of the jammers.
Is directional radio harder than I thought? Short-range drones should already be filtering out signals from probable targets. I doubt Russia is deploying these countermeasures from above.
I can fix this. It will take some effort and I'm good at.
