Has anyone done an EMI scan around those motors? They are strong RF generators, plus they work in pulses which would allow them to inject a disturbance that would de-pulse them...

Russia has published a directory of Ukrainian FPV tactics with diagrams, and suggested countermeasures. The descriptions are basic, but the 19 separate listings are a reminder of how flexible and valuable the FPV system has become. 1/

I know people are going out looking for the drones at these bases in the UK. Quick reminder, without lights on they are very hard to spot, especially from a distance. Counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems primarily rely on passive detection of the radio frequency energy the drones emit (if they emit), but the more advanced suites include radars (often in Ku-band) to spot them even if they are operating without emitting. These active and passive sensors work together to better detect and classify the object. They also allow for critical intelligence to be collected on them. EO/IR systems are also almost always part of the C-UAS suite so that visual ID can be made. They can also help search and detect drones as well. The radar systems have short range and the passive detection systems can also be limited in range, especially if the drone flies low and amongst ground clutter. This makes it hard to track where they are launched and recovered from without physically tracking them in a vehicle. A bad actor well versed in these basic capabilities would design their drone operations plan to exploit common C-UAS suite limitations.

On Holodomor Memorial Day, the terrible famine that started in 1932 is remembered. The Soviets took away bread from the Ukrainian people, and they starved. Now the Russians want to take away everything. 1/

My grandfather only started talking about the Holodomor when he was a very old man. Not a word about it before then. Lots of people who lived through it didn't talk about it at all. The fear they felt as children lasted their whole lives.

Grim reading. Its hard to disagree with view that due to entirely self inflicted and easily avoided reasons, other than CASD and carriers, the RN is now a barely 2nd tier NATO navy in terms of numbers and increasingly quality. The decline feels terminal. naval-technology.com/news/is…

#drone and model aircraft people. Which unit do you typically use for airspeed? Knots is traditional for aviation. Meters per second works with the maths. Perhaps something else?

A Danish Navy vessel boarded the Chinese cargo vessel Yi Ping after it was discovered it had destroyed 2 undersea telecom cables in the Baltic Sea. Denmark exercised the right under Art. X of the Submarine Cables Convention. It's been done only once before, by the USA in 1959

Just discovered PySpecSDR, a Python SDR tool with a scanner function that includes signal classification by analyzing spectral properties (sounds great for WarDragon). Found it after revisiting @rtlsdrblog on Reddit. Check it out: github.com/xqtr/PySpecSDR

The U.S. embassy in Kyiv sends out an alert saying that it has closed due to specific intel of an air attack today. As far as I can recall this has never happened during this invasion, and so it is ringing some alarm bells for me.
