Jamming is also a type of signal. How hard is it to find exactly where it is located?

Is it possible to create a seeking missile that instead of, say, heat follows signal strength? Even when it's mostly noise?

The signal may not have a single source. An attacker could also use multiple antenna to make the signal source appear as originating from some space between them. Could have multiple antenna broadcasting in time slices to maintain a constant signal from a varying source location.

Radio is a lot weirder than you think.

While the proof is cool, was there any ever doubt that this was in Kaliningrad?

It amazes me that Russia acts in a way that will continue to see alliances form against it.

Self-fulfilling prophecies of encirclement

You're not joking. I'm reading thru "Stalin" by Stephen Kotkin, and Stalin was using the term "capitalist encirclement" at least as far back as the 1920s.

I get the impression that Russian state police in its different incarnations (cheka/OGPU/KGB/GRU) never really went away, they just launder the exterior (Russian Empire/USSR/Russian Federation) and keep going.

Hah, can it all be traced back to Kievan Rus ? Or even the Mongols ?

That was basically the thesis of Kennan's "Long Telegram" (https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/coldwar/documents/episode-1/kenna...).

Thanks for the link. Some times you hear ideas, forget you heard them, they come back in your mind and you think they're your own. I don't know if that's the case here, but I know I'd never directly read this text, thank you.

Russia's gravest crime is that it still exists.

It’s this way because they aren’t ever punished for it in any meaningful way. They reap rewards of being bullies without the cost. The NHL does a billion dollars worth of free advertising for Russia by keeping pro-Putin Russians on the payroll.

Whatever alliances form against it seem to inevitably succum to Russian corruption. They get bribed, or blackmailed, in some form or another. Russia are untrustworthy liars. They reneg on agreements. They drove Truman nuts. There’s never a final deal, it’s always subject to capricious renegotiation. Potsdam. The Charter. Budapest. Russia has a 1000 year history of this.
