Wouldn’t Wozniak be an obvious choice?
lol so they can’t see anything outside the orbit. Just put a camera there.
How would our satellites detect something outside normal orbits?
They could easily send the signals away from us. How would we detect something like that?

If Russia is targeting 5000 a month, what makes you think NK can even manage 500 a month? Which would take 40 years to amass 250k.
And hope to counter 250k UAVs? How about 10m UAVs? That’s how much more economic strength SK has in comparison. And that’s not even considering using a cheaper design as a counter.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Russia Giving North Korea Shahed-136 Attack Drone Production CapabilityEnglish1·25 days agoWhy would you use a missile against a Shahed? Only if you weren’t prepared for that threat and haven’t updated your tactics. The future will be automated drones and use the guns for close range.
As for CIWS, I bet a software update can let it be much more efficient with ammo against slow moving targets. Let’s say 10 per drone, which would mean a Phalanx would be able to take down about 150 per magazine.
You basically need to have an extra layer of air defense to the existing model. Missiles for fast moving threats, drones and guns for the slower threats.
And how many weapons do you think NK can even produce? They have to import all their electronics and hardly have the expertise to improve the technology significantly.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Russia Giving North Korea Shahed-136 Attack Drone Production CapabilityEnglish11·25 days agoHow so? The only reason they’re so deadly in Ukraine is because they don’t have the resources to adequately defend the huge front and they can’t invest sufficiently to produce a scalable defense.
By the time NK is able to field enough drones for anything close to saturation, SK would have stockpiled more than enough defensive options.
Only 150 or so Gepards have been sent to Ukraine. SK can build their own mobile AAA and can likely have thousands by the time NK has hundreds of drones.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Russia Giving North Korea Shahed-136 Attack Drone Production CapabilityEnglish11·25 days agoThat’s because Ukraine is stretched thin economically and militarily. Their economy is 10x smaller than Russia and has limited domestic production capabilities.
SK on the other hand, has significant existing defensive and has an economy over 50x NKs. Their 2% GDP military spending is bigger than NKs entire economy!
The only way the Shaheds can be a threat is if SK commanders fail to recognize them as a problem. I won’t discount naivety or incompetence but I’ll bet every military is paying close attention to what’s happening in Ukraine right now.
SK has a number of domestic drone manufacturers and has a growing defense sector, they are most certainly looking at ways to counter whatever NK has access to.
If the NK soldiers sent to Ukraine thought those drones were scary, think what would happen with an entire country of FPV pilots and the production capacity to match could do.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Russia Giving North Korea Shahed-136 Attack Drone Production CapabilityEnglish13·25 days agoJust connect the gaming cafes up to FPV drones. Whenever a Shahed is heading their way, divert some of the players to gun them down and win a stuffed bear or something.
At least with guns, they’re more evenly matched. South Korea only has some mandatory military service.
But with drones? South Korea has entire generations of gamers training their whole lives for this.

That’s the most inexplicable thing. Maybe if other people had the eyes it’d be ok, maybe there a thing people do. But she’s the only one so it’s extra weird.

When was the last time anyone came out with a new strategic bomber anyways? I guess stealth bombers but China doesn’t even have one.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Russia faces struggle to replace bombers lost in Ukrainian drone strikesEnglish7·29 days agoAt this point they might as well buy them from China.
Although it’s arguable whether it’s worth having strategic bombers anymore. If they only need a platform to launch cruise missiles there are over platforms that can do it.

You don’t normally, until you get old and realize you’ve lost a ton of mobility. It’s something you need to actively notice.
