    Also… Fighters are fast, the point is you should fire the missile before you see it.

      The f-35 is built for engagements outside the horizon, like, the target is blocked by the curvature of the earth.

      Light sensitive cameras and rudimentary AI…

          So we use a black hole to bend space time and look into the past where it isn’t. We know where it isn’t in the past.

    For those doing the maths at home:

    An F35 who obligingly flies top-towards-you (not exactly something you can do, but hey, maybe they’re turning) is all of 10m tall.

    An AIM-120C can very comfortably hit a target at 100km.

    At that range, the F-35 takes up 26 arcseconds, or 0.007 degrees. That’s roughly about the size of this period, at a distance of 3 meters away.

    [ . ]

    Good luck spotting that in a sky of roughly the same colour, full of other objects.

      I can see that bright white dot against the dark mode background on my maximum brightness screen with ease! Therefore your argument is invalid!

      Yeah, sure. But that doesn’t matter if you point the AI at it with a really good zoom lens, though. And then you have a ton of them, pointed in an directions, like the compound eye of a fly. F35 spotted.

      You can place cameras anywhere, they don’t need to be right next to what is being targeted. Nearer ranges will allow AI to misidentify at much higher rates than max standoff ranges of an AIM-120C.

      Just for reference: JWST has an optical resolution of 0.07 arcseconds. It’s a mirror 22 feet in diameter though, not something you’d put inside a missile guidance package.

            Well but I am!

            Although, we would still need to get it back here… Okay so first we send two more rockets after it! One to return it on and one with the/a human engineer on board to pack it back up.

            I mean we can hardly have it return while unpacked. That would damage the delicate heat baffles! And we need those to shield it from the rockt engine at the back of our missile so it doesn’t start targeting itself because it no longer knows where it is/isn’t…

        Holy shit. I just realised that the reason they’re building the ELT is so they can mount it on a missile and shoot down an F-35 at some point.

      and then also dealing with the F-35 itself, even if you managed to lock on and target it, it will have anti-warfare capabilities you have to contend with.

    If a fighter jet is within visual range of a camera, it’s already too late. And that’s if there aren’t any clouds.

      He has Tesla’s “Full Self Driving” system, which works with AI and cameras.
      He probably wants to just upload his software to US fighter jets for, say, $20 million per unit.

        It might actually cost way more than that, changing the jet’s balance and attaching things to them requires major modifications, but him selling the the systems for that alone sounds about right.

        Maybe the real plan is to intentionally fuck it up and weaken the US Military. Wouldn’t put it past the Trump admin.

    Assuming this is OC, next time do a little better at cropping and scaling. Ypu move that plane to the far right under yhe arrow and youve got 2/3 of the blank canvas to work with. I don’t expect much effort on meme post especially NDC but I would like to actually be able to read the tweets without zooming in and theres enough white space to scale them up.
