Hey kids! Do you know what time it is? IT'S INSURGENCY TIME!

What the he'll am I looking at here?

Here's hoping that relatively cheap drone technology will cause enough problems for traditional aircraft that insurgencies become viable again!

The last few decades have been mostly big kids pummeling on little kids who can't fight back.

They can make all sort of things, but they can't put their greasy hands in some SAM's, which would be 1000x times more useful for any insurgent movement.

i dunno how drones would threaten big aircraft

there should be a hope for better aa - sams that aren't vulnerable to wild weasel crap etc

I'd imagine just colliding with one mid-air at the kinds of speeds they fly at is enough to do more than just scratch the paint.

>>34711939
why not use a passive radar system?

>>34712013
Because home-on-jam is awful for airborne sources.

>>34711952
i.e. you mean a surface air missile...

>>34712013
sams with an active radar in the missile itself like some aams...

>>34712022
no, i meant why not use environmental radio sources to track aircraft? it would be a great propaganda piece if a super hornet was shot down using transmissions from VOA. what are they going to do, bomb their own radio stations?

>>34712025
i'm not sure you would even need an active radar. just guide the missile to the general area of the target with passive reflections and then switch to infrared tracking.

i don't think passive radar homing exists. it's either semi active, the most common one when sams use a vulnerable external radar, or active, when missiles use their own radar (but some radar still probably should detect the plane for them to be launched when they can lock)

passive homing is either infrared or tv

let me greentext what i'm proposing, i think lockheed already made a thing like it but i'm not sure

>get antenna
>point it at nearest radio station/tv station/any other powerful transmitter
>capture signals from environmental transmitter and save them
>get other antennas
>point them all around at different parts of the sky
>listen near frequency of original transmitter
>wait for blips, just like you would with a normal radar setup
>do a bit of math to remove the residual signals from the transmitter so you just have the signals from the reflected target
>do this in multiple locations
>now you have the rough location of the enemy plane and maybe it's rough direction (through TDOA, doppler, i don't know)
>shoot a passive infrared missile out of Aunty Kebab's Turban And Quran Shop

and when you inevitably get bombed, just set up in a new location. or just change the location of the missile launchers.

i am not sure if it's possible
