    Over 1000km's is a substantive journey for the drone, and with the history of having hit this building previously speaks of a drone of an important mission trajectory for sure.
    As for us here speculating, I've read below some very intelligent observations regarding this flight path that lend credence to the general flight of it.
    Bottom line of course is we'll have to wait for further information and/or confirmations of it's target from the Ukrainian is Armed Forces.
    We'll await your update regarding this drone strike Suchomimus knowing you'll be digging it up for us in your incredible follow ups.

    The building hit is by far the tallest building in the vicinity. It is at least 30 storeys and over 100m tall. When the drones hit the building they were flying straight an level, not trying to dive onto a target. The drones were under control and did not appear to by flying erratically, which would be likely if they were being jammed.
    I think that the route of the drones was planned to attack another target (possibly to the West) and that the planners did not take into account the clearance required to miss this tower.

    If it was some kind of interference, it may have been GPS spoofing vs jamming.
    With spoofing, the gps would report the same, wrong, thing for both drones, jamming blocks the signal totally, hence the random impacts.
    Just a theory.

      @@dzzope It is technically easy to negate. However, you would have to recertify for a Galileo receiver in a commercial aircraft, which gets very expensive and bureaucratic. It is also not 100% clear if the FAA would allow aircraft that relied on a foreign GNSS for operation. Bear in mind that we have inertial navigation systems that would allow you to fly over the Atlantic and be only a few km out when you get to the other side. It's not an issue when air traffic control picks you up on the airport radar and corrects you. However, this is military grade technology and is not allowed in commercial aircraft.

    It seems to be one of the tallest and most impressive buildings in Kazan, so why wouldn’t it be used by the military? I can’t find any information on the internet about apartments in this building. My guess is that it is used by the military. Two drones hitting the same spot caused by Russian spoofing is very unlikely.
    It could be a coordination centre or purchasing department for the military, or a penthouse for a high ranked officer. Ukraine knows way more than we do.

Russia rockets military targets and energy infrastructure, and Zelensky atacks civilians either by drones or assasination....
      Also Zelensky is puting his own soldiers and their familys in jail for being sceptical about war or if they talk about it on private mesaging apps. Hes luting in law to ban orthodox religion. 98% of sodiers capitulate because they dont want to fight when zelensky forces them.

      @crxgames Inertial navigation is low accuracy compared to GNSS, and accuracy deteriorates the longer it is relied upon. Should only really be used during periods of LOS from the GNSS constellation, when signal is restored the INS is reset from the new 'known' location. If the drone is being spoofed and doesn't 'know' I would presume that it resolves conflict between the two guidance systems by assuming the sat nav is correct. I could be wrong - I can say with confidence this is how it works for satellites, maybe different for military drones .

    0:26 Russian EW and jamming isn't really that good. Himars and Excalibur were made at a time when the US was fighting jihadists with absolutely zero advanced military capabilities, and the US and Europe had massively underinvested in electronic warfare and jamming for decades. Russia was simply average at it for the time, but were better than the US in the same way that a man having $1 is technically richer than a man with no dollar- they were just caught up to the current times while we were so behind on the times and underdeveloped in EW. once that situation ended in the late 2010s and we woke up, we easily caught up and have currently surpassed russia in EW and jamming.

    This strikes me more as GPS "Spoofing" rather than jamming. Jamming simply blocks the GPS signal from being received by the drone. Spoofing overwhelms the GPS signal with a FAKE GPS signal and can be used to give false coordinates to the drone, plane, missile, etc. I find it interesting that (3:40 in the video) the police and a fire truck are already prepositioned on the ground in the video. How did the Fire department and Police know to have the street blocked and the fire equipment on standby there? Seems a bit fishy, I think the Russians directed the drone into the building for the Media to claim Ukraine is attacking civilian targets.

  • @matthewspencer972

    I was going to say that perhaps Ukraine didn't know how high this building is, because it's so much taller than everything else in the town. But, actually, the Google Earth photo shows a shadow that makes that rather obvious. Two questions:
    Who owns the building? Maybe it's an investment by one of Putin's cronies?
    Who occupies that particular apartment? Because both drones struck the far side of the building compared to where they probably came from, and that suggests they were trying to hit a specific side of the building: an accidental hit would have been the other side, surely?

    Russia hasn't used only jamming for ECM - they've used (according to earlier reports) spoofing too: sending 'good' signals with modified data to cause navigation to veer. I don't know if spoofing is well-developed enough for them to send a "let's fly the drone into the big building to stop it" signal. The same error that would cause an attack route to follow a path through a new building (not knowing it's there) is presumably possibly for spoofing, but also spoofing might be "shift everything 10m east per km" which could result in cunning enemy building-dodging navigation ending up inside those same buildings? Reliably-computed spoofing would cause the same veer?

    Could be multiple, these drones are made cheap so if the GPS is jammed it’s likely they went of path.

    What also could be possible that during route planning they didn’t check for obstacles the drone could hit mid flight.

      @ probablymistaje in the GOS the spoofing such as not knowing the flightpath of the weapon. I suspect however that the attack was deliberate and then there was a target in that part of the building.

    jammers are very short range, also, they way GPS spoofing works you need to know the drones destination to drive it to the ground.

      @tudogeo7061 2 години тому

      @gior987 I'm not sure you spoof into something. I'm not a specialist but afaik GPS spoofing works by a ground station posing as a satellite, sending fake timing signals that throw off the receiver's ability to compute its position. Without the spoofing station knowing the drone's position, heading, speed, etc it'd be nigh impossible to guide it somewhere specific. And when you consider there were two drones that'd be even harder.

    Seems that the explosives do not detonate, just the fuel explodes and the pressure breaks other windows? So they must have software that would activate the detonators separately?

      And likely not activated yet as intended military target was past that building. Possibly exceptionally tall building the programmers missed while planning the route.

    Could be that the flight profile didn't account for this specific obstacle, and the drone just hit the tower as it was in the way. Good news if this is it, as it means Russia didn't manage to jam it.

    If I remember correctly, Russian EW systems are a joint collaboration by China and Russia. China provides electronics and Russians build it with their timely know-how. Easier to bypass sanctions if the end product is not an overt lethal system.

    Um... a look at the surrounding area tells me a thing or two about this building. It's military. There's no significant parking nearby except that lot that looks like it serves the buildings next door. A place of work such as that would have rows of parking for employees and rows for customers, because it's in a retail-fun area There's no other buildings similar to it, no stores or shops: This does not occur. It's not residential, no balconies, no obvious windows to open. My guess is it's a covert signal tower. Camouflage of military installations is something Russia has to work on. Ukraine needs to send bigger drones.

      on streetview you can see the windows are sometimes open, there is some underground parking and there are food delivery people visible, there is conveniently a drone photosphere nearby where we can see the roof and no radio towers are visible (this photo was before the war however, may have changed)
      based on the location and the construction company (the company has done several government buildings in this city) i would guess it may be some sort of apartment complex for the politicians/elites of this city (or just wealthy people), as the location is conveniently placed near all the local administrative buildings and the cars visible in the above ground parking lot would be considered above average in Russia

    It is definitely theoretically possible to use locally generated GPS signals to mimic the real GPS constellation but deliver locations that are inaccurate in a specific way. It is even theoretically possible to drive a plane using GPS through a small specific place in real time. It is not easy. And, unless this is a Chinese product, I am not sure Russia would have the right hardware to achieve this effect. This is spoofing as opposed to jamming.

    If the Russian jammers could send different drones off course into hitting the same target, surely they would send them into somewhere like a haystack and not a valuable skyscraper.
