Kandahar has proven poor opsec since the thing was photographed! I don't
know about the base in Baluchistan.
But even knowing the launch doesn't mean they know when it is on target.
Supposedly the UAS is stealthy, so it would be hard to detect.

Suppose the Iranians had one of their buddies watching the drone base.
When they saw a drone take off, the guy just called a contact by cell and
the Iranians turned on a wide coverage jammer somewhere along the flight
path.
From previous incidents and observations, if the drone came into the
jammed area, it'd lose GPS lock, orbit, and run out of gas and crash. They
could easily select a jammer site that was good for recovery.

Hi,
Of course, but then when you switch on your transmitter you are on your
own. Considering the speed of a drone (700Km/h?) you need a great
coverage, so much RF power out.
Easy: Use a dish antenna on the transmitter.
Very directional with large ampification.
If using a 'moderate' opening angle, just pointing the dish at the drone
by hand will work.
After starting the system locked to the gps time, once the signal is on
the drone,
I don't think it matters anymore. (It might not even matter at the start?)
The drone will follow the timing of the jammer.
As the drone will receive all signals from the single transmitter, the
relative timing will be fixed.
Just using a OCXO will have a good enough short time stability to allow
the system to work, I would think.
As the plan is to land or jam the drone within say 10 minutes, long term
stability is not that important...
Greetings,
Pieter.

To transmit a GPS cluster signal you need a GPS simulator to generate
the cluster so even a single transmitter can do this, the relative
timing and not the different positions of the transmitters is what
the
receiver sees.
When over-powering the real birds you just needs to be close enough
in
timing, and it is the location of the target which is of interest.
If this scenario is true... then they have not done their home-work.
I
would ask a number of critical questions already from my civilian
background.
Cheers,
Magnus
