@mf_newsdigest Interesting...

I guess #Bundeswehr doesn't want to rely on inseucre #UHFSATCOM & backdoored #NATO #Link22 / unencrypted #Link11 comms nor pay a commercial provider (#Iridium) of a hostile nation (#USA) for a proprietary solution (#NettedIridium)…

• I wounder what the exact specs will be and whether they'll use it for emergency comms by @AuswaertigesAmt as well, since Iridium doesn"t have any encryption whatsoever…

@HonkHase Hoffentlich wird die #Bundeswehr für ein #BwSATCOM-3 dann sowas wie #Iridium bzw. #IridiumNext fahren wollen, weil das geht mit überschaubarer Satellitenzahl sehr gut!

• Weil sowas wie #NettedIridium aka. #IridiumPTT for Military sollte easy machbar sein.

Ich rechne allerdings eher damit dass diese ne #TDRS-mäßige Konstellation für #UHFSATCOM & #Xband-#MILSATCOM aufsetzen werden...

• Bleibt zu hoffen dass es ein offen spezifizierter & sicherer Standard ist und kein proprietärer Bullshit alla #TETRA oder #SCIP...

@pavel23 It's not just #Musk, but also #Trump aka. #AgentKrasnov that are into it.

• The fact that Trump isn't impeached if not dragged out of office due to repeat violations of his oath aka. #HighTreason is beyond me...

That being said this ain't magic: Some fine-tuned LNB that is tuned to the Ka-Band uplink frequency or a harmonic of it, a simple 40cm offset dish and a hackRF is all one needs to do some #ElectronicWarfare and #SIGINT.

• I could build this myself and shove it into a Droptank-Pod of a Su-27 Frogfoot given a workshop, time and budget to do so.

#Starlink as a #civilian communications system doesn't have the cool military features of systems like #Iridium (espechally #NettedIridium) or #XTAR...
