“They think we make the attack on each receiver and as soon as one receiver attacks, they try to swap in another receiver and get a signal from another satellite. But when the missile enters the range of our system, we cover all types of receivers,” they said. “It’s physically impossible to connect with another satellite, but they think that it’s possible. That’s why they started with four receivers and right now it’s 16. I guess in the future we’ll see 24, but it’s pretty useless.”

They're just wasting so much resources and don't even know what they're doing. "Just keep putting more receivers, they can't jam them all... can they?"

that’s not even the most incompetent part imo

the fact that the missile tries to change direction too quickly and just breaks itself apart from the aerodynamic pressure is crazy… it’s literally hobby robotics 101 to put limits on acceleration etc

It's just the life of each software dev: don't need to account for this situation, because the target would never move by 10000kms within seconds. Plus, the buyer would never bring a failed unit back to ask for a refund, so why bother and spend more on development. Unless it's a liquid fuel rocket, you wouldn't be able to change Trust and speed once fired.
