is the f-22 a fighter plane?
Dogfighting isn't the only way to kill enemy aircraft?
thats a good point
most fighter planes arent made for dogfighting nowadays
as we have beyond visual targeting
etc
an EMP definitely can't go beyond visual targeting
but it can disrupt an incoming missile
or use flares for that
and the best part is if you are protecting your base form that hypothetical missile you can have all the electricity you need as weight isnt a problem
wut
its easier to have an electronic anti missile system on your base then on a tank right?
it kind of doesn't matter if you fry an incoming missile that's a mile or two away if it's some fuckhuge missile you deploy against a BASE of some kind, it'll still keep going mostly straight and then it doesn't really matter if it's a few dozen yards off target
you can mess up the targeting system
not with an EMP
maybe make the electronics overheat
you can fry vital components bricking it's electronics, but you can't magically hack it
i think we can in the coming years
you can already hack pacemakers or cars
reeee that's not how hacking works
well then how does it work
yes because those are connected to the open internet and have pisspoor security
it is literally impossible for the best hacker in the world to hack my laptop now
because I have it off to the side, not connected to the internet
there is no access point
but then what is guiding your missile
no way for a hacker to get in, short of physically entering my home and plugging something in
Onboard computing and targeting technology, I would presume.
a simple algorithm (AI) and raw sensors
valid point
With how much a missile costs, a couple thousand dollars in sensors and electronics isn't really a factor.
thats right missiles do cost an actual fuck ton
for example an IR camera, a computer, and a program that says "point missile towards brightest glowing bit"
amraams go for what 300000 dollars imagine buying it of "the black market"
idk what you would do with an amraam
shoot it with bullets?
but wouldnt that make it very susceptible to being misled
that's why planes use flares
