An automated system keeps running, even when something it has no way of detecting is happening!? How unexpected!

Now, if people still have to pay the tickets even after contesting them, that’s fucked up. But the fact that traffic cameras don’t suspend activity in the event of an airstrike doesn’t really strike me as news-worthy.

It strikes me as a little bit funny. I’m glad to have heard about it.

Your first paragraph reminded me of a short story: There Will Come Soft Rains.

Russia should pay for it

That interesting bit about the M-38 highway being within Ukrainian FPV drone range.

And unsaid but that must include the rail line that runs alongside the highway.

Although that is likely from special ops teams for them to get that far.

With good directional antennas, the correct frequencies and analog signals and maybe last-mile AI/image recognition, 30-50 miles should be easy. You could even use a high altitude drone as a signal repeater for even more range with minimal latency.

For perspective: I could communicate with ham radio repeaters using a 5W transmitter and a basic whip antenna at about 150 miles, at 220/440mhz, because the repeater was in a high enough spot, on a distant mountain. Granted, that was only voice but it’s still a good representation of what kind of range you can get.

Digital signals at higher frequencies wouldn’t have much of a chance.

Edit: We are entering a period of high solar activity as well. While atmospheric bounce is usually reserved for other bands (usually 10m, or ~29mhz) it can absolutely be a thing with higher frequencies now.
