That movie is not very realistic.

What really surprises me is that the schips equipment never picked up on those unauthorized signals. Hell they can pick up pavarotti in pearl harbour on their sonar. (Red oktober reference) . but they cant pick up multiple unknown signals in the 2.4 and 5 GHz band

Are you telling me that some things do react well to bullets?
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 week ago
It’s a very subjective question. Arguably some people do. That’s why we make bullets and the devices for sending them.

You’re telling me that Sean Connery isn’t Russian? He was so convincing in the role.

One ping only.

If only they didn’t make them speak broken Russian (I suppose they used a dictionary with simplified transcriptions and maybe even a phrasebook). All the effort to do it with the less than satisfactory result could have been avoided. Even SG-1 aliens speak English.
As a Russian speaker, I wonder if there’s a version with only those parts dubbed to Russian.

The person who came up with the scheme is also the most senior NCO on the ship. All the enlisted people in charge of monitoring that activity knew, they just knew not to ask questions.You would be surprised how much pull an E-8 or E-9 has in the military.

Can confirm was an O-5 and if an E-5 or above was talking, I shut up and listened. Those guys get shit done.

Yeah, my dad eventually found himself as an E-9 in the USAF. He spent the latter portion of his career, which was jet engine mechanic, originally, going to different NATO countries and training people on equipment they were buying from the US, consulting them on opening, and operating, engine rooms, and hangars, and implementation of these roles in bases on foreign land, and in FOB situations. He said it was hard not to suffer imposter syndrome when you are routinely in board rooms filled with top brass, from around the world, and they are listening TO YOU. It stressed him out, a lot.

Believe me, being an officer from 20-24 there was a fuckton of imposter syndrome. I’m still shocked that they gave me the job they did.

And this situation shows an inherent weakness of a military culture which demands one pretend a dumbass isn’t a dumbass just because of their badge collection.
