US spy drone tricked into Iran landing

The system was developed by Dariush Rezaei (Phd) who was assonated last year.

No, he is just fine and even has got profile on Facebook - Dariush Rezaei | Facebook

I must admit that you are a drone expert AtW. Without fail you drone on and on and on…

Yes I know a drone when I see one.

GPS antenna are not directional for obvious reasons. There is a component in the GPS to tell the unit which way is up. Every so often an almanac is downloaded telling the unit the positions of the satellites. Many satellites are on the horizon. Spoofed signals can easily be broadcast from TV transmitters high up in mountains

The system was developed by Dariush Rezaei (Phd) who was assonated last year. It was first used in 2007 on a British Navel boat tricking it into Iranian waters.

Are you for real?

The Iranian incident occurred over a dispute about where the Iraqi / Iranian maritime border actually is. If you knew the facts you would know that Iran produced the RIB GPS coordinates as part of their defence. You wouldn't really want to do that if you'd spoofed it to think it was really in Iraqi waters. Not to mention you'd have to think of a way of hitting the Lynx (which was observing the dhow they were to board), the RIBs and HMS Cornwall all at the same time. Plus there's the little fact that the RN do not rely on GPS for locational positioning, it is there as a fallback. Having served and spent many a night plotting our position whilst on watch, I think I know more than you on the subject.

Oh and Rezaei was a Nuclear physicist, not a Geospatial one. He was bumped because of his work with the bomb.

Yes.

The Iranian Army has got the force within them and can change geo-coords at will.

Tremble before the mighty army infidels!!!

Thought someone would come back with that one. Go and Google again; you may just get the right information.



BTW Don't think that all information is on the Internet. Although you detest Iran, do not under estimate your enemies

Go and Google again; you may just get the right information.

And why not - the Islamic Republic of Iran would make sure correct information is published online about it's scientists working on a forbidden WMDs.

You know it makes sense.

Here is a photo for Paddy to have good night sleep:

I am going to watch a bit of WWE and then rest for a bit - SKA needs some Y2K fixing before Monday

Y2K fixing? Bit late for that isn't it - We're 12 years into Y2K already
