Count down to Iran invasion

[01BTC10]

They spoofed GPS signal with false coordinate because it wasn't encrypted.

What kind of level of sophistication would you have to have to do that?

Ever see The World is not Enough?  Yeah, something like that, but you don't need that much tech. Just an accurate clock, and a powerful radio transmitter. Some kids from UT did it not too long ago.

You think it was a publicity stunt. ?

[Rob E]

A multi million drone brought down by students. . And tech support didn't have a clue that could be possible?

[Rob E]

Nah that's a publicity stunt trying to get kids interested in technologies to do with home defense. It's an interesting advertisement.

[sounds]

Tech support knew it was possible. Military and defense contractors know just how little they need to do to get Uncle Sam to send the next $1,000,000,000 their way.

Why do more than the minimum? If the US Armed Services needed a secured drone, they'd have insisted on it the first time! The incentives in the Military Industrial Complex are all backwards.

[Rob E]

good point .. Wat sorta creep that this is turned in to some kind of field outing. " Come on kids lets go and see who can bring down the drone" What did you make jimmy?  " I made a 4 megabite interface residual compressed 3d holographic duall processing atomic splitting controle processor"

Oo h hh h DHS is really going to be interested in that. .

Jimmy ; What does a drone do?  Ooh they kill people. . lol . . And they " Survey" America. . Give jimmy a hand class. .

From what I understand after reading some expert theories it went something like this.... The drone live feeds are unencrypted meaning anyone with a regular home commercial satellite antenna, a laptop, and some free software available on the net can snoop on the location of the device. As far as I could tell this did not allow them direct control of the device, but allowed them enough access to change the preset GPS coordinate of the device's home base. As the drone is programmed to return to home if the signal is lost, after this first step they simply scrambled the drone's external control signal and forced it to return to their own base landing safely intact.

I dont think we will go to war with Iran, they may already have nuclear weapons, US will never take those risks.

I doubt the US isn't informed about the status of the program. I also assume they Iran doesn't have nuclear weaponry. I also assume they don't have intercontinental rockets able to make a delivery to New York.
Additionally I assume that all the nuke-talk is just a front, like with Saddams weapons of mass destruction.

Correct my assumptions in case they're wrong.

Sure, just like those WMD's Iraq had hidden away, 100% certain and no doubt about it.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Let's just say what the US knows and what the US says they know are 2 different things.

no it's bullshit if there was a covert op. to sabotage these places Iran would respond.

That the defense min. would say that it would be "good news" really shows they are not messing about.  They would retaliate no fuckin doubt. And they would retaliate because it would be self defense, self preservation. So attacking Iran AhAh - not a good idea.

Anyway, your prediction one year ago had not happened.

Does the list of assassinated Iranian scientists count as an attack? What about the magical exploding nuclear facilities? Exploding generals? When does this officially become an attack?

At least President should come out and announce some operation,otherwise, this kind of hostility has always been ON, it is never been OFF, count this as invasion is exaggerating.

(Just my opinion)

Is Iran invasion still "just around the corner"?

How does it feel to live in fear? That's what it's like to be a slave.
