Russian army command vehicles literally are still using punch tape of the 70's with AT / SX / DX computer and software by Borland Pascal MS DOS.
Russians, please explain.

have fun hacking it
And british nuclear subs still use windows xp.
While the technology is outdated it is stable and that is far more important than new tech
This
If they've ironed out a system that they can stabilize and know issues for it's more important than being on the flashiest new OS. Especially when it has less code or security vulnerabilities they need to check or review year after year.
A CBU is kinda like a DDOS, right?

no, because you can do a cyberattack from washington DC but you actually have to be in inside someone's airspace to drop a bomb

Hacking invulnerability is the most important part of tech in the military.
So does NASA
The ISS still uses Windows 2000
And wasn't there an article a while ago how a bunch of the STRATCOM silos still run on some old godforsaken system with 8" floppies?
So do nucular power-plants, they still use smoke signals. Stability is more important than being on the communications’ cutting edge
NORAD and the Cheyenne mountain complex still used 8 inch floppy disks up until relatively recently. When you have purpose built hardware with very high reliability it's hard to justify changing it even if newer stuff might do the job better. Our aircraft still use variants of the IBM System 360 mainframe for onboard computing.
this, I've heard vets of SIGINT and comms aircraft complaining about just how preposterously old the stuff on board can be
>using memeware with 0day exploits lurkin
overseeing migrations and re-orgs may help you get your stars but it is a cash and manhour furnace. and the end result is the ferrari/lambo dealership in NoVa. fucking software salesmen buying private airplanes with contract bonuses. it's sickening.
It's especially evident with aircraft. Everything onboard must go through a lengthy and expensive flight certification process. The current round of upgrades just being fielded would have been impressive on the commercial market in the late 90s. On top of that wait for certification you've not got to deal with maintenance and reliability issues because the newer stuff tends to just not hold up as well as hardware with 30+ years of time to mature on it.
She lives on in our hearts and bong nukes.
I actually think the Russians might be slightly ahead of the curve on this. Wasn't there so much jamming in the Ukraine theatre at one point that they were using bike messengers again?
The US government also uses a lot of outdated stuff. If it works and is safe, don't fix it.
So basically it's going to run for years without issues.
>MS-DOS
Stable as fuck.
>Fax
Most places still use them,
>Punch cards
Fucking rad
>Incadecent bulb
It looks better and is easier on the eyes. Fuck the EU.
>Handsaw with no handles
Who cares. The real issue, is why is it n there?
>Keboard
This is the only issue. Give the man a real keyboard!
The Chad Floppy Diskette > The virgin Wifi
Given Ukraine's budget that may not mean much more than "knock out a few cellphone towers".
analog is obviously much harder to hack
havent u seen battlestar galactica
What a bunch of fucking non white idiots ahaha
>Russians, please explain.
Hijacking the thread,
What do You guys think about Russian official propaganda store, the Voyentorg?
It's supposded to bring Russian MoD billions roubles in revenue
Quality Army T-shirts
The shop is featured in official MoD media and news, such a cozy and cheap advertising
>still using punch tape
I think its ballistic officer battle station for Satan divison. The flight plan is computed then it goes onto punch tape. Rolls of those tapes stored for each mission destination. When Readiness 1 is declared, they load upto 3 of those into the vehicle guidence system. Then when Battle Readiness is declared, they select three out of six. When Launch command is received, the launch commander officer pushes 1 2 or 3 button, then hits the red button. But my memory is not firm on details.
Punch tape is imprevious to radiation or EMI. The onboard computer is all vavuum tubes, by the way.
The UK MP still uses cassette tapes as recording devices for interrogation.
That shit looks incredibly bydlo. Wow.
