Modern warfare has become a far cry from the days of needing a clear line of sight to hit a target. Advanced technology has transformed the battlefield, allowing for precise strikes over vast distances. This shift is driven by the integration of Global Positioning Systems or GPS into weaponry. GPS satellites act as real-time maps in the sky, enabling operators to meticulously track and guide weapons with pinpoint accuracy, even from afar. This eliminates the need for visual confirmation, enhancing both the effectiveness and safety of military operations.

However, the battlefield remains a complex and unpredictable environment. While the US has equipped Ukraine with these sophisticated GPS-guided weapons, Russia has countered with a disruptive tactic: jamming technology. Reports suggest Russia's jamming has significantly hampered the effectiveness of these US weapons, forcing Ukraine to suspend the use of certain types altogether. This makes us wonder; just how good is Russia's jamming tech, and what kind of western weapons have been affected by it? But before we delve deeper, let's take a look at how this jamming technology works.

7. With the rise of air conditioning, the need for awnings diminished, leading to them falling out of fashion.
8. Awnings were seen as a sign of not having air conditioning, leading to their removal from homes.
9. Adding window overhangs alone can reduce cooling energy needs by 20%, but there are trade-offs with other window performance characteristics.
10. The ideal solution is to have windows with high solar heat gain coefficients for winter heating and use awnings to block sunlight in the summer, providing the best of both worlds.
11. The video emphasizes the potential benefits of bringing back window awnings for both energy savings and aesthetic appeal.
12. The differences between installing window awnings and more advanced home design techniques are discussed.
13. The speaker discusses the importance of keeping windows shaded in warm climates like Phoenix, Arizona, where there seems to be a lack of focus on window overhangs.
14. Various solutions to block sunlight, such as exterior roller shutters, blinds, and awnings, are mentioned.
15. The speaker expresses a preference for awnings due to their effectiveness and aesthetic appeal.
16. They also highlight the potential energy-saving benefits of window awnings and suggest encouraging their use in homes.
17. The speaker ends by calling for more research on the cooling effects of window awnings and the importance of considering traditional cooling methods in modern home construction.
