After 10 years in defense tech, watching missile attacks in Ukraine and the Middle East made it clear how little most people really get about air defense. So I'm builiding this simulator which drops you into the operator’s seat. You can test out different scenarios and build an air defense network against various types of threats (stats from real world). Also have Ukraine, Israel-Iran scenarios.

Really cool. Wish I could see more of the system log messages, that's the most interesting part to me.

Tangential: do you have insights into viability of mini automated anti-drone turrets? Something you'd place on a truck or pull out of a trench when needed? We already have drones with shotguns. I guess it's the automatic acquisition and targeting that's the difficult part, but just how difficult is that?
