In the two test launches shown in the video, the "missile" doesn't fly straight nor does it demonstrate ability to be "guided" by the launcher towards any particular target.

It's also incredibly slow. There are children's rocket kits that fly significantly faster than this.

On the defensive side, see perhaps this phased array radar system with a 20km range: * https://github.com/NawfalMotii79/PLFM_RADAR

What a time to be alive.

In fact, I think I now have all I need to start a war with my neighbours.

And what this misses is with his other repo https://github.com/novatic14/Distributed-Camera-Node-Trackin... This provides a distributed camera network to provide realtime updatable telemetry for target acquisition. Only thing missing is he should have used LoRa as the backend comms. Meshtastic devices provide encryption and full comms with mesh for cheap. Thankfully ive already downloaded everything. I suggest you al…

Can I really put up repos on GitHub that purport to do things with no demonstrable proof and have them get taken down for wrong think?
