Remains of the day for civvy GPS...

.


...All of the new a/c in the last 5 years haven't been fitted with ADF's anyway.
Looking that it wont be long before them old NDB's are needed agin.


Some weeks back terrorists sent a cheap little GPS guided drone (UAV/UAS) into Israel via the sea. The worlds most heavily defended airspace didn't see the drone until it were over land. Took two F16's and two expensive missiles plus a bit of scrambling of the GPS signal to destroy the terrorist drone...

All that trouble just because of one little Hezbollah drone. More to come.....
