Huh, history repeating itself. In WWII, the Soviets had a type of land mine that was detonated by playing three specific frequencies over the radio. The Finns figured it out and blasted a polka tune, Säkkijärven polkka, over the radio for four months straight to jam them

Please tell me it's a rickroll

It might as well be; it’s just more culturally specific

From the article, link to the song.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 5 points 22 hours ago

With subtitles, too, so I know what the hell they’re saying! Great song! Thanks

Bandera was a genocidal nazi mass murderer. Very unfortunate choice of song.

Tell me you didn’t read the article, without telling me you didn’t read the article:

Any digital noise or random signal would work to jam the navigation system, but Night Watch wanted to use the song because they think it's funny. "We just send a song...we just make it into binary code, you know, like 010101, and just send it to the Russian navigation system," Night Watch said. "It's just kind of a joke.

[Bandera] is a Ukrainian nationalist and Russia tries to use this person in their propaganda to say all Ukrainians are Nazis. They always try to scare the Russian people that Ukrainians are, culturally, all the same as Bandera."

I'm afraid you are misinformed. Stalin and Hitler were Nazi mass murderers and best buddies. Bandera, while not an angel, was imprisoned by Hitler and murdered by Stalin.

"Bandera was a nazi" was soviet and now ruzzian line, this statement is neither true nor false, but repeating it helps spreading ruzzian propaganda.

Eh? The OUN, under Bandera's leadership, repeatedly and actively sought to alliance Nazi Germany during WWII. They formed militias with the express intent of enacting pogroms against Jewish citizens. Their political agenda was absolutely a fascist one. Bandera collaborated with the Nazis directly near the end of the war to fight the Soviets (though he was between a rock and a hard place here, I admit).
