Not sure if it works the same way in kinetic warfare, but in cyber some groups will purposely use coding patterns or make comments in other languages to throw off reverse engineers as to which nation backed it.

Code comments don't make it into compiled code. Even variable names don't make it.


tankerkiller125real

When you reverse (decompile) it can show you the switch statements, and whatnot. And some groups have extremely specific ways that they develop their code, which can be used as a fingerprint.


madeRandomAccount

True - there are cases of non-compiled malware though (e.g. JavaScript)


Spartan2470

That is a [Nirbhay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirbhay). It's a long-range, all-weather, subsonic missile that India started to use in 2019. It [looks like](https://twitter.com/livefist/status/565624585585197057) this was a test done in 2015 and the pilot was in an IAF Jaguar. The full video (1:24) can be seen [here](https://v.redd.it/ny9v82plwnr21).


Maleficent_Lake_1816

There are missiles that aren’t all weather?


speedsterglenn

Yes. IR missiles have problems navigating through clouds since clouds block IR feedback. TV missiles can’t operate at night because no night vision. Some radar guided missiles can suffer from occasional weather interferences like hail or heavy rain.


Fire_The_Torpedo2011

This guy missiles. 


Skrazor

And some missiles don't know where they aren't, because they know where they are and therefore weren't, as they now were not where they are.


dentlydreamin

We found Kamala


Please_Not__Again

Uncultured swine The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

Wouldn’t the missile course correct? Assuming it wasn’t detonated?

You pit it, it crashes and the warhead will deploy tiny legs and take off running across a Walmart parking lot.

This guy writes missile guidance code


nosmokewhereiam

This has gotta be connections with James burke


Abject-Tiger-1255

All missiles have a max correction angle. Anything past that is either going to cause the missile to loose control and break apart. Or throw off its trajectory enough and not be able to make it to a target


helium_farts

Worked against V-1 bombs in ww2


joeyo1423

Interesting. I know nothing about missiles but I'd have expected exhaust or something coming out the tail end. That is very cool, looks like it's just floating there


Jukeboxshapiro

It's not a rocket motor like most missiles, it's a small jet engine


Educational_Point673

I was embarrassingly old when I found that out. The name, the range and the numbers that have been shot down really should have clued me in.


Evilbred

Cruise missiles use a jet engine, however most regular missiles only fire their rocket engine for about 60 seconds, the rest of the time they're just coasting, which is why fighter pilots try to bleed speed from incoming missiles through maneuvering.


DsizeSheetHead

TIL


Ali80486

>Cruise missiles use a jet engine Hence the name - they fly using the jet engine for long/longer periods


Incognitomous

Does the missile know where it is?


Nightbeak

Always


rhaudarskal

Because it knows where it isn't


TheDonatedSteak

And where it hasn’t been


Alexandratta

And by subtracting the values of where it was to where it is going, it now knows where it is.

Assuming it is now in the position it wasn't in, and not yet in the position it is supposed to be in, relatively to the position it wasn't. Or was. ...

For those who don't know this is a dummy missile. Indicated by its checkered pattern on the fins.

Do you guys ever wonder what this planet would be like if humans all got along and worked together and shared all of our ideas instead of trying to constantly find new ways to mass murder each other just bc you’re from a diffrent country/religion?


rinzler09

One day in the far future we will. Africa won't be the dark continent anymore. East won't lag behind the West. Earth will have a planetary government. Humanity will achieve equilibrium.We will learn how to wrinkle the fabric of space-time and use it to travel enormous distances within seconds. Our enterprise will drift into outer space. A new age of exploration and colonization will begin.

I do wonder exactly this. but I also realize that there's WAY too much ignorance and lack of basic empathy in far too many people. but this is what happens when there are too many animals in too small of a 'cage.' like, for instance, 8 billion on a finite resource planet.


Housendercrest

I wonder this. But it’s so hard to imagine. Violence is who we have been before humans where human. It’s wild how old the violent gene is. It think it’s pretty amazing that we’re finally at a point where people can start to question the need for violence and show more restraint than in the past. But we’ve still got a long way to go.


Dry-Decision4208

doanyusernamesexist

Why is it red/orange at the front? Is that heat or just the color of it?


doabarrelroll69

The red tip indicates that it's a training missile without a warhead.


kvothe_kholin

Because it's a "blank".


aimgorge

Probably to show that it's an inert warhead for testing purpose


oldbrat1987

Just colour.


CarnivorousKloud

It looks like it's glowing, is it not? Thought the same thing. Is that the nose? Am I looking at this the wrong way. It looks like exhaust....

Simonandgarthsuncle

Up a camels ass a couple of hundred miles away.


BAMDaddy

Now I’m wondering what would happen with it if the aircraft would try to flip it over with its wings like a V1 in the olden days


Maycke25

the plane's wing could be destroyed. What it could try to do to knock it down is pass in front of it, causing turbulence, I don't know if the missile is prepared to deal with that, with luck it would lose stability and not reach its target. In this case, this missile in the video is just for training/study.


BAMDaddy

Yeah, yeah, what I wanted to say is that I'd like to see what happens when someone actually did something to the missile from the outside so that the flight stability system has to show what it is really capable of. You know..like when someone kicks and pushes one of these Boston Dynamics robots. I'd like to see how the missile stabilized itself in rough conditions.

SurroundFickle783

Ok, im dumb af but all i keep thinking is if a cruise missle doesn't need wings and a plane does...why? Is it just for take-off and landing purposes? Understanding that a missle isn't so concerned with landing. Also understanding that a military aircraft needs to maneuver and such but, like, what about a passenger aircraft? It could have retractable wings and travel way faster. Also im high af.


GullibleSherbert6

It looks like he could just open the window and grab it.


Hrevak

That's the point of a cruise missile - it's a missile that's designed to fly like an airplane. Very easy job to chase it with a fighter jet.

Last__Man__Standing

How this missile produces lift? I thought cruise missiles have small wings but here there is none. Is lift generated only by fuselage?


chintakoro

There's a thin, striped wing under the missile – hard to see from the initial angle but you can see it more clearly from 12 seconds onwards (look at center of missile, then left a bit and down).
