Houthi stuff...

We now have a public map of the route that the Houthi suicide drone took to Tel Aviv.

This is not the exact same route that the IDF took on (for obvious reasons).

It did follow a route used by civilian airliners to hide itself for most of its trip. It only had to make 3 turns, which is indicative of preprogrammed inertial guidance. This also indicates that the entire city was the target, not some poor guy chilling on his apartment roof a block away from the US consulate.

Really?!?
So anyone can build a drone, load it with some AI controls, a GPS, some inertial guidance and a bomb and set it loose on whatever target they choose?
ATC doesn't get suspicious and trigger a military response?
Or, is there just no ATC in that part of the world?

@jurban

Yes.

But no GPS needed, or in this case, wanted.

Machine Vision should be pretty easy to implement given Google Earth data.
I suspect the next assassination attempt will unpack that methodology.
(Interesting times....)
