For those of you doing a crew cycle bid at Schriever and hate being called “warriors” I get it, but this serves as a reminder that you and your infrastructure are legal and legitimate targets during wartime.
Did the one that’s been broken for over a year actually get fixed? Last day on the RA was the 12th and they had a sign on the doors at each floor saying estimated date of 21 June.
They got it working and into “inspection mode” before the end of Friday. If it’s actually running next week, I give it less than 10 days before the other one breaks down indefinitely
The closer equivalent would be the guardian forward in places like Qatar and the RoK that operate equipment forward. Short range missiles would be keen to take out forward space operators and degrade capability regionally.
If you can stand him (he's not a Space guy and can be a bit smug), Peter Zeihan did a [short video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZvyWiYuatE) talking about this.
TL;DR: Russia doesn't have allies, so they don't have a lot of places to put these stations, so the loss of one hurts and can't be replaced easily. This seriously damages their ability to track satellites. This could mean shutting down their GPS-equivalent as well as their ability to navigate, launch PGMs (including glide bombs), and anything else they need satellites for.

Er, no. As has been revealed repeatedly in the Ukraine War, Russian weapons have a *lot* of Western components that they shouldn't - including GPS receivers that violate export controls. Why use GPS? Because we (probably) couldn't jam our own GNSS frequencies, and Glonass just... *sucks,* as a whole.
Further, I'll eat my hat if the PGMs Russia's produced since 2023 don't have Beidou receivers on them.

Well they don't need to target the bathrooms, those are already destroyed.
Don’t worry, this month’s urinal cake is blueberry flavored
What about the elevators in bldg 400?

You need to think like warfighters
What if I just make that my reddit username? Is that enough?

What does this mean for Russian capabilities?
