Poor little dead b*stard. Just proves what a society of douchebags they have there. The only real Fascists speak Russian and follow Der Putin.

When you buy the boat, you get the leaks, too. If you're not willing to die for your country, don't
They've gone beyond the evil of simply following orders from Moscow, from what I've read. The atrocities they've visited upon civilians came from somewhere more local.

Not necessarily. If Putin's orders were to depopulate Ukraine so the land could be backfilled by loyal Russians, then it very easily could result in the sorts of atrocities we've seen against civilians.
One has to wonder, mind you, about the sort of society that creates soldiers willing to commit such crimes...unless, of course, it's like the Stalin years where you followed orders or were shot. Lead poisoning can be a mighty big incentive.

Very true, and I stand corrected. It could be a case of inferred "orders" rather than explicit directives. The whole "Won't someone remove this stone from my shoe?" dog-whistling.
Governance in Russia has meant autocracy for many hundreds of years. You can't really underestimate the influence that has had not only on Russian society, but individual outlooks as well.
Of course, the USSR had guys like Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov, and modern Russia has lots of dissidents as well, so a definitive statement isn't going to be accurate. But I have to think that history of autocracy has to have left its stamp.

Sadly, it's what happens when you only read, or are fed, one perspective on an issue. That's why I'm so worried about things right now....people, somehow, have forgotten how to disagree in a civil manner. Any view that differs is "wrong" and the person who holds it is also "wrong" and therefore not worthy of consideration. It's not a giant leap from there to "enemies of the state."

Remember, Mother Russia is liberating the world of Nazis.
Just like the Nazis were liberating the world from Jews and Slavs.
When a government convinces it's public into dehumazing a race or group, then it becomes an acceptable practice.

Which phrase has already been uttered by a President. Any time one hears that phrase, killings -- large and/or small -- will happen.
That's as far as I'm willing to discuss the matter publicly here. Respect for the rules, you get it.
Satellites can be jammed but it's chicken and egg in a way. F-35s and the like are made for blowing up such equipment. There are satellites which can use digital laser bursts toErrr...SATCOM still use radio frequency signals and, yes, they can be jammed (and, in fact, are jammed). Russia has SATCOM jammers like the Krasukha:

The other challenge with satellites is ensuring you're within the footprint of coverage. Operate outside them and your kill-switch won't work.
It doesn't matter what type of key coding you use, any aircraft system is capable of malfunction, which is why you have back-up systems. Digitally wiping systems of software always leaves traces, and it takes time to execute. Physical destruction is faster but it involves explosives (or other mechanical means) and they can go off unexpectedly.
Given the amount of computing power available (e.g. bitcoin mining), I have little faith that key-based security is invulnerable to hacking. The only way to stop external users accessing a system is to not connect critical components to the outside world. A kill switch would require such an external connection...and it would be a big prize for any hostile hacker.
send codes and don't use a radio signal.
As for large code breaking it takes a lot of computing power to do and with each aircraft having it's own code it would be extremely difficult even to crack one. After that you
would have to know what code to send as well.
NASA blocks literally thousands of attempts per day to enter it's systems, mostly made by one country with thousands of programmers working on the attempts.
I'm sure the US military has very good systems inlace and is always working on better ones. At least I hope they are otherwise it could be like the Enigma system
was for the Germans in WWII.
I agree it is an ongoing problem but should it enhance the capabilities of an aircraft to hit it's targets then it is a risk that has to be taken.
As a person of Russian ancestry I have one more feeling which is the dominant indeed... Shame. For the nation that has chosen the path of hatred and aggression.

Russia took delivery on a handful of advanced Su-34M fighter bombers late last month, and one has already been shot down over Ukraine. It wasn't Ukrainian

No I disagree, it was simply part of the great plan that is still going exactly as envisioned.

Exactly, they're trying to kill Ukrainians with falling debris!

As tough as times are for him, it's nice to see Lavrov still able to smile.
