What Hacker News says

4 sources
I remember seeing this on HN when it was first submitted. I honestly think that project is either a scam, an elaborate hoax, a cover for a Chinese company selling radar systems or a three-letter-agency honeypot. The files [1], [2], [3] on Github (once featured on README and on some articles) depict what I presume is a Chinese built radar which you can see here [4], [5]. I also suspect this might be a honeypot since Instagram - of all places - is full of accounts offering these radars [6], [7]. Some of the contributors on that projects are heavily leaning into AI. Git project history is suspicious. Discussions on the issues seem very artificial. I remember having bunch of notes on this project, but can't find it now. Just looking at it from outside, nothing about it seems real. [1] https://github.com/NawfalMotii79/PLFM_RADAR/blob/main/docs
