Apparently, there were hundred+ drone pilots available who were spread across several timezones should the AI not be able to find their way visually. If you see some of the streaming video snippets, it says GPS fix unavailable likely due to jamming of GNSS systems and disabling of civilian GLONASS near bases. As such, Russian domestic cell carriers were reportedly used to stream video and for manual terminal guidance following visual cues, hence the daylight timing of the raid.
- throwoutway 1y agoSource on the 100+ drone pilots an cell carriers? I've been hoping to find an article on how they staged the pilots for manual guidance. I imagined they would have had to tunnelled all that traffic to each operator from the truck, but the cell towers is clever
- mikhailfranco 1y agoOne report said the drone attack was sequential, not swarming. So perhaps only one remote operator per truck, with about 2-3 minutes between each drone launch, depending on how far the previous one had to go to reach its target.
- burnt-resistor 1y agoInteresting. I guess they could have 2-3x less operators than 1:1. If the Russians shutdown the cell phone networks nationwide, that might've stopped most of it except for drones that had INS and/or ability to visually follow "terrain map" under AI guidance.
