This part is really hard to believe. I briefly worked with radar systems (though nothing classified) These systems are all ancient and janky don't just integrate like lego. You can't just take a radar feed from a drone and feed it into the control system of a cruise missile lol
Even AEGIS systems can't really do that effectively - let alone systems from two different countries (cutting edge military stuff is tech wise in like the 90s at best)
It's not impossible, and it's wartime.. So maybe some Ukrainian engineers hacked something together - but I find this part very unlikely
To me it seems much more likely they got a radar bounce back due to a freak weather phenomena
- hurryer 3y agoIt's a single high value target. You can input the coordinate by hand.
- ethbr1 3y agoThis sounds more reasonable. They may have been coming from the TB2, but they're being input by hand. - Shore radar + TB2 work up track on Moskva (heading, speed) - Missile launched to calculated intercept point - If Neptunes have midcourse correction (?), point updated if Moskva changes course
- zmgsabst 3y agoThere’s literally a quote from an admiral discussing doing just that. I’m inclined to believe that a drone can relay targeting data as an admiral claimed over “freak radar returns” — as indirect fire is a standard event. The missile performs its final homing under its own guidance anyways.
