Gregory's Server@kkarhan @shekinahcancook @georgetakei This is a geostationary satellite. It can not provide the same low latency as Starlink. Which is essential for remote controlling drones.

 @amayer @shekinahcancook @georgetakei I wish I could go into details but based off some former friends experiences, I'd like my door intact, my neck lead-free and my pronouns not non-consensually changed to was/were... That being said: Read some #SpecSheets on #GlobalSecurityOrg or even #Wikipedia and then realize that #Starlink was neither designed nor approved for that useage and #SpaceX explicitly bans in it their ToS - unlike #XTAR & #Iridium... Funny, if Ukraine can use it, then so can western Russia, I'd guess. Just because he's not advertising it doesn't mean it's not there. And he doesn't seem to be turning it off for them. @shekinahcancook @amayer @georgetakei Well, X-Band based MILSATCOM is basically exclusive to MIL/INTEL customers and I'm shure #Ukraine will be allowed to become a customer... @shekinahcancook @amayer @georgetakei I'd call Zelenskyy or at least his military & intelligence "criminally stupid" if they didn't already use it... As you mentioned, it requires funding and cooperation from the other side. We don't know which, if not both, are lacking. @shekinahcancook @amayer @georgetakei C @shekinahcancook @amayer @georgetakei Shure, but I don't get paid for doing that myself... Also I'd rather not provide the enemy with tactical info that could be used to jeopardize the success... If you thought of it, then they did too. But no reason to make it easy for them.  @kkarhan @shekinahcancook @georgetakei So what you are saying is you haven’t seen any of the released footage of the surface drones? Get on YouTube and check. Yes, they are used just like in a video game. They even avoid incoming machine gun fire. I’ll excuse myself from this discussion now. Have a nice day. |
@amayer @shekinahcancook @georgetakei Which is bs because that's how all the Drones get remote-controlled by the USAF...
Or do you really believe drones are that low latency like in CoD to use?
They only have an Iridium Burst backup channel to recieve commands like "fly to coordinates x y @ height z, report back and await orders...
