    Ukraine's Massive Drone Attack Was Powered by Open Source Software

    In broad daylight on Sunday, explosions rocked air bases in Belaya, Olenya, and Ivanovo in Russia, which are hundreds of miles from Ukraine. The Security Services of Ukraine’s (SBU) Operation Spider Web was a coordinated assault on Russian targets it claimed was more than a year in the making, which was carried out using a nearly 20-year-old piece of open source drone autopilot software called ArduPilot.

    • - well there's your example. the proprietary system it uses as a counter to ardupilot. is based on Nix and open source machine learning and mesh networking...kingsteven
    • not to mention, the Ukrainians are running ArduPilot on Arduinos with mesh networking running on Raspberry PI (librarys, platforms, hardware mostly open)kingsteven
