Makes more sense why the Russian AD/EW assests are getting pulverised in Crimea by the 'Prymary' team of the GUR,and why Bashkortosan is yet again of fire this evening as Major Robert Brovdis(commander of the unmanned systemsforces)'birds' make the long journey to impact once again.
Read Footfall by Larry Niven (and maybe Pournell)? Aliens attack Terra, we need to get in space. (Niven was a good old «Terra uber allés author so the Terrans succeeded). So yes space is the new frontier. And cutting the networks there is obviously important. This war is very digital. In a paper I didn’t really get published I and co-authors defined digitalization as a combination of data, network and algorithms (and some more stuff, not the point here). The point is that in a digital war cutting the networks cut the digitalization. It is as simple as that. Exactly as you wrote. Should be easy to understand but I am unsure who does. But thank you for this.
One thing about using ASAT weapons is that it invites immediate/near immediate retaliation. I'd think that Russia would be cautious about starting that during a major conflict. I'm certain that several countries are quietly holding back ASAT weapons or know how to quickly adapt current weapons.
Very interesting. Among a lot of news this one was an oldie but very important: «Every new military technology arrives with a hidden invoice. You may not pay up front; you pay when your adversary decides to even the score.» Technical debt indeed. But on the other hand, without that debt you wouldn’t have had the new technology. So do indeed look carefully at the gains and at least prepare to pay the debts.
2,025–2,110 MHz is nothing compared to the bandwidth allocation they have. It is so small that it does almost nothing. It is meant to inject random data into that section of the bandwidth just distort data and make it unusable.
The bandwidth it very large, it goes up to 2000-3000 MHz with 4 MHz separation. This low on the spectrum, 2025-2110 is usually the spectrum checks and testing side, it is meant to line up the details of the transmission, signal power, and equipment health.
Alright, Wes, you win. This post is another of a long line of in-depth, cogent columns offered in a serious, yet light-hearted style. I've subscribed.
Much appreciated sir!
Took you long enough… :-) Seen your comments around you know.
Quality piece.
Great insight and thanks for doing the 'legwork'

Joined a few dots.
Thanks again

Footfall was a great read. 😁

This is really working wonders in Pokrovsk and Kupiansk.
Very agile responses from Ukrainian command.

This is just a signal jamming frequency.
