Quote from: The Brain on October 14, 2025, 01:00:24 PMHow much can EM jamming fuck up controls of modern aircraft?

Against a modern manned, tethered, or completely autonomous aircraft, very little.  They are shielded from EM interference.

Against a non-tethered remotely piloted vehicle, the impact would depend on how "frequency agile" (able to shift frequencies when detecting jamming or spoofing) the link is, and how powerful and frequency-agile the jammer is. A jammer with a lot of power and a lot of frequency coverage would be a problem (but it trades power on a frequency for power across frequencies).
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I'd like to recommend r/askhistorians to my fellow history nerds on languish.

Some chaff for sure, but there are some good informative and interesting posts at times.

I just read this fascinating response on the history of race in Brazil, for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/s/mz9quiRA4b

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.
