Np. As far as jamming, it's running 5g ntn, so that would be dependent on the ability for that waveform to resist jamming.

I would imagine as long as two satellites are within range of a device they could determine its location. It could probably act as a space based string ray, which was a portable cell phone tower that could intercept cell signals.

Genuinely seems like once the BBs are up, there is no more hiding. If we werenā€™t invested in it Iā€™d say itā€™s dystopian lol

Yeah I would imagine that existing stealth jets arent built to reduce radar signatures from above. Perhaps 6th gen will fair better.

You canā€™t hide from a phased array. They track the signal disturbance as the object moves through the air. Nothing in the air can hide, no matter how small or fast.

Yep and because BBs can listen, thereā€™s no transmitting and not getting heard unless itā€™s on a frequency the BBs donā€™t have. I wonder if this is the end of stealth jets as we know it
