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

Need a github repo list of open source projects that help blow things up. Would love to see the screaming matches in the issues

Huh, I wonder why ardupilot.org is on my PiHole block list? Weird.

Exact match for ardupilot.org found in:

https://hosts.ubuntu101.co.za/domains.list

Huh, I guess it's on this list for some reason:

https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist

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
