SpaceX Successfully Shut Down a Russiαn Electromagnetic Warfare Attαck In Ukrαine.

The Pentagon has been left in awe after SpaceX successfully shut down a Russiαn electromagnetic warfare αttαck in Ukrαine.

Last month, the company acted rapidly to stifle a Russiαn effort to disconnect Ukrainians from the internet by jamming the Starlink broadband service.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk promptly steered thousands of Starlink terminals to Ukrαine after an official sent him a tweet asking for help.

The Pentagon was left impressed, admitting they could could take a page out of Musk’s and SpaceX’s book for future issues.

During a C4ISRNET Conference this week, the United States admitted they could learn a lot from how the private sector handled such a situation.

Dave Tremper, director of electronic warfare for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, said: “The next day [after the Russiαn jamming effort], Starlink had slung a line of code and fixed it.

“And suddenly that [αttαck] was not effective anymore. From EW (electromagnetic warfare) technologist’s perspective, that is fantastic … and how they did that was eye-watering to me.”

He went on to explain how the government has significant processes that make it impossible to act so swiftly, such as analysis of what happened, decisions on how to fix it, and then getting a contract in place to fix the problem.

He continued: “We need to be able to have that agility.

“We need to be able to change our electromagnetic posture to be able to change, very dynamically, what we’re trying to do without losing capability along the way.”

Tremper went on to say the United States expected a ‘much stronger’ electromagnetic warfare showing from Russiα.

Musk has been a thorn in the side of Russiα since the invasion of Ukrαine began.

Russiα announced in March that they would be halting supplies of rocket missiles to the United States, implying the country wouldn’t be able to travel to space without the Russiαn engines.

Russiαn politician, Dmitry Rogozin said: “In a situation like this we can’t supply the United States with our world’s best rocket engines. Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks, I don’t know what.”

Musk seemingly took exception to the comment and said he accepted the challenge.

Less than 24 hours after Russiα’s comments, SpaceX tweeted a video of their Falcon 9 launching 47 Starlink satellites to orbit.

Musk mocked Rogozin’s comments, tweeting in reply: “American Broomstick.”

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

By Editor
Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24.
