Not WiFI, most likely RF, could be encrypted, could just be fairly easy for the company that manufactures both to fingerprint the traffic as from their drones and controllers?
I don’t know about their current models, but one that a realtor was using for house photos nearby a few years ago was a flying WEP access point. (I was nice and didn’t probe further.)
If they have a “return home” feature on loss of communications, the drone would have store the controller’s coordinates, ripe for the plucking if someone can get into the drone. (You could SSH into Parrot drones.)
Interesting, I’d have picked RF just to avoid the limits on broadcast power for Wifi… and lets just avoid the security of WEP, and the absolute crap that most radios of that era were in terms of roaming, interfering traffic, and so forth… possibly enginering around those limitations was still cheaper that creating something new, but dang.
Russia is continuing to bleed creatives, tech heads and smart folks

Guardian is rather premature in saying that sanctions don’t work, IMO.

President Zelenskiy dismisses head of state security service and prosecutor general - report
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has issued an executive order dismissing the head of state security service and proesecutor general, according to the presidential office website.
The orders dismissing domestic security chief Ivan Bakanov, a childhood friend of Zelenskiy, and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova, who leads the effort to prosecute Russian war crimes in Ukraine, were published on the president’s official website.
Another decree has appointed deputy prosecutor general Oleksii Symonenko as acting prosecutor general.
According to Euromaidan, Bakanov was fired under Article 47 of the Disciplinary Statute of Ukraine’s Armed Forces which states, “Non-performance (improper performance) of official duties, which resulted in human casualties or other serious consequences or created a threat of such consequences.”
Zelenskiy says staff of sacked officials have been ‘working against’ Ukraine
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy followed up on decrees in which he removed the State Security Service head and his Prosecutor General.
Reuters reports:
Zelenskiy said that more than 60 of their employees were working against Ukraine in Russian-occupied territory.
He added that 651 criminal proceedings had been registered relating to high treason and collaboration by employees of prosecutor’s offices, pretrial investigation bodies and other law enforcement agencies.
“In particular, more than 60 employees of the prosecutor’s office and the Security Service of Ukraine remained in the occupied territory and are working against our state,” he said.
He said that such crimes raised “very serious questions” for the relevant leaders, and added, “Each of these questions will receive a proper answer.”
So, Israel is a good fit? Huh.
If you’re trying to get out of Russia ASAP, and you’re Jewish and thus can invoke the Right of Return, it’s a good fit.
Not so much so if you’re looking for a country that doesn’t wage war on its neighbors.
Always possible that Israel is simply the quickest, easiest way to get out and from there she can more measuredly prepare for yet another bolthole, I suppose.
