The old ways

That is what I see, Iran is picking up the settings of the old ways and it is damaging (I prefer hurting) Saudi Arabia. We are given ‘Saudi Arabia Confirms Iranian Strikes on Key Assets’, ‘Saudi Arabia says oil production capacity cut, pipeline flows hit amid attack on its facilities’ as well as the Middle East Eye that gives us ‘Attack on Saudi Arabian pipeline wiped out 10 percent of kingdom’s oil export capacity’, as I see it Iran is still playing the same old game. Attack someone, cry like a baby and then propose a standstill while they rearm. I am happy I have given Saudi Arabia (the UAE as well) the weapon systems I designed for them to take out the Iranian harbours and train systems of Iran. I found a new setting for the roads, but that is a story for another day. I have been thinking of what to do about the drones. There is not a lot of information on this and I am what some might call a drone noob. But the setting is that a drone requires fly by wire settings and as I got the information that they are not using GPS (to avoid jamming) but that requires a drone to get information send back and forth with the operator. Even at minimal settings, there is a lot of information going back and forth. So then I got to think, what if we are looking at the wrong parts? 

So this is where my (uneducated) mind started to brood. That part of water is the Sea of Dammam (calling it the Persian Gulf is Iranian propaganda). So what if there is a line of drones, floating on the surface, two every three miles and that gives us a setting of strength. The floaters are operated from a point of contact, optionally upgrading their automatic settings on the fly. I reckon that these camera’s are not the greatest devices fitted with anti hacking systems. So, what if the anti drones devices are fitted with the ability to hack and freeze the screen. A drone in flight with a frozen screen becomes useless and without the GPS they will go on until they run out of energy. And that was an exercise I completed in under an hour. So, what will happen when I am no longer a noob on that subject and come to think of it, I had created a more precise drone with my assumption with the Iranian drones I thought they were (I created two stories in the past few months). But the idea of these drone stoppers, might have an interesting ploy to exploit. Beyond the screen freezers, the idea to use some form of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack to set the drone that it faces a Distributed Denial of Navigation (DDoN) attack, making the adjustments that drones faces unable to be completed. And when a floating drone is fitted with DML (Deeper Machine Learning) to give rise to adjusted attacks and float the drones with thousands of flight adjustments. OK, this was on the fly (pun intended) but the effort counts. So, how many adjustments have drone repel systems seen?

And the idea to give some IP towards the enemies of Iran and deprive Iran enough to turn them into useless cash spending individuals. Well, it is a small comfort and when the idea pans out to take down Iranian Drones, I am all for giving this IP to Saudi Arabia and the UAE to stop that Iranian setting. The events that this comes from will in the ‘assumed’ seize fire is another reason to get to Iran to fail for all of this.

So am I wrong to do this?

The short answer is no (yes takes one extra character), the setting comes with the knowledge that what ever is stopped now, will force Iran to evolve its drones, as such Israel (most likely) would need to attack the chip shipments of the Shahed drones. Should someone look into “Recent analysis (2025) of Russian Geran-2 drones indicates increased use of Chinese-made transceivers and chips (e.g., from Beijing Microelectronics Technology Institute) and Indian-made clock buffers.” Should see that these drones come with flaws. This makes my idea of nets of floating drones a solution with larger options. You see, two ‘solutions’ used to create a third one, leaves the system with flaws. Look at it like from another side as some sources “the physical, structural, or data-related “memory wall” or defects within the chip’s architecture, or the current global, supply-chain-driven shortage of memory chips (DRAM/HBM)” So what if the ‘drone downer’ solution uses these locations to embed whatever is available? These settings are used in all kinds of ways, so as these banks or memory come under attack, optional in more than one way and perhaps any other settings available. 

The setting that I am drafting here is pure speculation, but the premise seems to fit. Unless the parts used are specifically designed what is what for, the setting of my speculation would seem to hold and shape a larger failure of Iran (which is what we are aiming for) and I am optionally acquiring an additional skill. I am having a weird Friday as it seems. So when we are looking at the optional evidence we should see options. The media is trying to make things as convoluted as possible, Iran might be doing the same and the victims want this setting to be resolved. And as I stand on the side of Saudi Arabia and the UAE I have the same setting. We are in a new setting and whilst we want to overcomplicate things, we need to see that these devices might have certain ways of operating and as the are designed, using parts meant for other devices. It led me to consider settings, perhaps old settings might seem to apply. In the age of the Commodore 64 and the 8088 PC processor, there were stages where memory could bleed into the system. In the old days it was different, but today, we have self expanding memory blob (a pun and clue) and as these memory points are overloaded, there is every chance that other parts might start to flip out (read: misalign) the parts the drone require to operate above the minimum required levels to do its duty.

I am looking in places that others aren’t facing. Whatever the drone is, it is not using specified materials to make it work optimum, they are required to work with other chips and that leaves the opponents with gaps and that is where seemingly no one is looking. 

So consider these speculations the speculations of a noob with no knowledge of drones, but I believe that is the direction where we need to look so that the efficiency of these drones go down from 20% to a mere 1.5% (which is a huge win for poor poor me) and seeing Iran waste $55 million on drones that inflict $753 of damage, yay me. 

But let there be no misunderstanding. It is all speculation and speculation has the expected premise of being shot out of the water. This would be fair, because all speculation, even mine are prone to actual evidence and when that lacks the idea drowns. But it was a nice exercise into a diversion I know absolutely nothing about. Have a great day and on my next trick I will scuttle the Pentagon textual computer that is linked to Router linked to 311078802 at the PenFed Credit Union. Life can be sweet some times and I do have to stand up for my Canadian brethren (sisters too).
