13·11 days agothat town is just a bit north to border with chechenya, going in straight line from there to teheran overflies only russian, azeri and iranian airspace. the only nato member nearby is turkey, and you have to go out of the way to hit it. azeri-iranian relations are suboptimal, but even then they can go over caspian if they want to avoid it
map would explain it much better

11·2 months agothe 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

10·2 months agoMate do i have just the right thing for you, but it requires some soldering. It’s also probably cheapest solution working over longer range than you need
First you need two directional antennas. Use this https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/cup.html the 13cm design specifically. Design of the dipole element is on another page https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/sbfa.html They’re using hard to get semirigid coax but you can really just use common RG178 with braid tinned to make it stiff. This way you don’t have to leave D section they way they did, you can just solder core to the shield at the end while preserving total length (or ~1-2 mm less, because wifi is slightly higher frequency; 53-52 mm total). That dummy cable thing can be just any stiff piece of wire. Good way to get this would be getting a pack of u.fl-SMA pigtails, which you can also use for connection.

You also don’t need special aluminum housing like they do, cookie tin of the right size would be sufficient, or any other container of similar nature. If you can’t weatherproof it, putting it inside on windowsill is also fine
Then, plug TL-WN722N into it, or some other single-antenna thing, and you’re set. This one connects over USB and has removable RPSMA antenna, so you can connect it easily with correct cable (SMA plug - RPSMA plug)

to your new directional antenna. This thing works well over 200m distance, provided clear line of sight, and probably more than that
