How does one know so much detailed info about this topic?
- _djo_ 7y agoIn my case, it's the result of a research project I carried out a few years ago. While that went into somewhat deeper detail, the kind of information I've shared here is quite openly available from official and academic sources.
- platz 7y agoAh, makes sense, especially since you did a research project and reviewed the academic literature. FYI (other commenters) I wasn't doubting or implying access to secrecy. Just impressed at the depth of knowledge that appears with high fequency on HN here.
- HelloNurse 7y agoWhy would such information be particularly secret? Only secret keys are secret; knowing how to use them is a basic skill for all military pilots and a lot of other aviation personnel.
- ethbro 7y agoGenerally speaking, most NATO / military standards have some level of classification that prevents dissemination to a random member of the public. That said, for the non-sensitive stuff, there's usually access out there because someone's posted it or it's been discussed in a presentation. Reasons you would want such information controlled: if an adversary were to get in a shooting war with NATO, knowing the entire sequence required to launch fully operational aircraft makes interrupting that sequence much easier. Read background, dissect, probe, attack.
