i think we can in the coming years
everything is getting automated
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?
that's why planes use flares
yes so we are back at 2018
and why missiles use as many backup systems as they can squeeze in
"if IR feed isn't clear, rely on UV", "if UV feed isn't clear, try sensing plane's magnetic fields", "if NO feed is clear, estimate range to target, if range is less than 50m, detonate anyways and hope for the best otherwise deploy parachutes"
GPS, too. not for an anti-air missile obviously but for ground targets
even better idea let childeren from chinese factories fly those rockets not susceptible to flares dont cost alot and are still guided
million dollar idea here
Japanese did that
yeah and the germans
manned torpedoes
but they didnt use chinese factory childeren
V1 or the V2 some of the ancestors of the ICBMS nowadays
ye, Japanese patriots are more reliable
the japanese also had manned missiles
wut no
kamikaze pilots
definitely not V1 or V2 at least
no im talking about the germans using v1/2
yeah those weren't manned
i confused them with something else
