18 years after @Jrdmnz @jason4short and I created ArduPilot, here it is destroying large parts of the Russian air force. Crazy
That is indeed pretty wild. Great use of some great software!
Need a github repo list of open source projects that help blow things up. Would love to see the screaming matches in the issues
With all these "how they did it" articles, I guess they aren't planning on doing anything like this again?
Or they're just rubbing it in. "Look here, we found these drones from local hacklab and threw them on a truck and it took out sizable portion of Russias planes over the weekend" -kind of way. All of that is pretty simple to figure out anyways, it's a huge PR victory to reveal everything (with the obvious military victory) and there's no easy nor cheap way for Russia to prevent that from happening again at somewhere else. Maybe next time it's not a truck near airfield but a van in Moscow or a tractor trailer at some field nearby training grounds. There's just no way Russia could monitor and defend everything across their country.
That's what happens when the country is too damn big to be controlled by centralised power.
Well, there is one way to prevent it. Russian cops will have to stop every single truck in the country for in-depth searches, constantly. Just grind the economy to a halt. Simple.
I like this take.
I'm guessing they're releasing the information that Russians already figured out. So they're going to do something different
Why would we assume they rolled their own flight controller rather than just using ardupilot in the first place? This whole war has been fought with regular tech
Huh, I wonder why ardupilot.org is on my PiHole block list? Weird.
Exact match for ardupilot.org found in:
Huh, I guess it's on this list for some reason:
