I'd like to introduce you to Radio jammers, shotguns and fishing nets.
So glad you want me to keep going
Jammers are not on the table anymore
Quick crash course in RF and wirless comms as a whole
you can encrypt a channel so others cant UNDERSTAND whats being said but you cant stop them from listening of they know the frequency, this is the whole conceit of encryption, making data unrecognizable to someone looking or listing right at it.
YOU CAN JAM this frequency though without every cracking the encryption, basically a "If I cant understand you no one can use this airway" type beat
So first "modernization" was using burst transmitters (changes frequency quickly enough to avoid detection and jamming) ez solution to that is just jam EVERY usable frequency but then you cant communicate wirelessly.
My last word should give you a clue as to what they figured out.
so I want to use the metaphor of sound to help make this easy for even Kiwis to grasp. imagine russia is group A and Ukraine group B, group A wants to send a message from one part of group A to another part of group A
If group B can undertsnad their language (crack their encryption) they will listen and not interupt, however if they cant understand them group B will start shouting (jamming) so that group A cant hear what the other part of group A is saying.
but while group B is yelling THEY cant hear eachother either. So the solution is to ALWAYS BE YELLING ALL THE TIME AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS and have little wires that your whispering into and the wires have to physically go from your mouth to wherever the intended recipient is INTACT, one cut and it dosent work.
So enter Fiber optic drones, IM SURE you have heard the word and just dident think twice about what it means, "Must just be some dumb tech buzz word"
No its a tiny goshdang cable that physically runs from the drone THE WHOLE WAY, they are dozens of KMS long
so then we get shit like this, true modern real life horror, no those arent spider webs, those are THOUSANDS of tiny fishing line thick electrical wires, you thought left over landmines were bad? I cant even begin to FATHOM how to clean some of this shit up, you need to understand these cables are TENS OF MILES LONG
So yea they cant be hacked, jammed or intirupted full stop, this isent a lack of the technology or know how its fundamental physics, its a race now to figure out how to interrupt electrical currents at range BUT it has to be targeted, an EMP as we know it now is indiscriminate and will fuck up the whole Ionosphere.
