OS-SCIUkraine's Operation Spiderweb launched over 100 FPV drones targeting Russian airbases, using open-source ArduPilot software. Co-founder Chris Anderson was surprised to hear their creation played a role in the attack. Open source continues to shape modern technology and warfare. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Russia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DroneAttack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DroneAttack</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ArduPilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArduPilot</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OperationSpiderweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OperationSpiderweb</a>" Link: <a href="https://news.itsfoss.com/open-source-drone-attack/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.itsfoss.com/open-source-drone-attack/</a>

FPV, RC & AviationDie Ukrainische "Operation Spinnennetz" (Операція «#Павутина») ist schon ein Fraktal spannender Ideen… je tiefer man rein blickt, desto mehr dieser "eigentlich total offensichtlich! Warum macht das nicht jeder so?!"-Ideen sieht man.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Spider%27s_Web" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Spider%27s_Web</a>Gerade gelesen dass die Drohnen mit <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.g33ky.de/tag/ardupilot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArduPilot</a> laufen und anhand fixer Zielkoordinaten gesteuert wurden. (Von jeweils einem Piloten via russischem Mobilfunknetz aktualisiert - live-Videofeed ging zurück, aber die können dann natürlich auch Satelitenbilder oder andere Aufklärungsdaten nutzen)Einfach Lastwagen mit "üblichen" Dingen auf der Ladefläche (hier hölzerne Wohncontainer) irgendwo parken, vorher Dutzende SIM-Karten in die Drohnen und dann den Fahrer aus dem Land bringen, bevor man am nächsten Tag remote über's Mobilfunknetz des Feindes gesteuert auf'm Stützpunkt Dinge sprengt.So bis zu 3,3kg Sprengstoff direkt an der Außenseite eines Flugzeugs können wohl schon leichten Schaden anrichten? :-D
