    the theoretical reason for doing that is that if you have to split jamming power over broader frequency range, then for every n^2 times increase in bandwidth, here number of channels, range decreases n times. however gnss signals are so weak, it probably doesn’t matter, and if you’re adding extra power per channel, then it doesn’t apply

    now if missile detects that gnss is fucked with (signal too strong, wrong direction, physically impossible location), the correct thing to do would be to fallback to inertial navigation while accepting that accuracy decreases until gnss can be received again, if at all, and acted upon. theoretically speaking, it’s a matter of software update, better hardware also can help with that, so idk why would they release this. maybe there’s something that prevents this

      They probably released it because the situation has changed in a way that makes the information irrelevant, probably because it’s in the past, or knowing it could somehow damage the enemy. Any communication from a country at war should be treated as propaganda. Or, they know Russia will treat this as misinformation, so they are free to tell the truth.

        plenty of drone teams release geolocated videos day after they happen, but in this case i’ll guess that real sauce is classified top secret, that thing is outdated info and everyone is five steps ahead

        ahem

        triple the defense budget
