This is really interesting, and the article comments are total crap. TCAS alerts are based on peer to peer digital transponder signals. It seems like it would take some deliberate effort to spoof them
At least you don't need to worry about hills in New Orleans.
Emitting plutonium?
Yep. That would be pretty high energy.
With all of those, money is moving from the rich person to pilots, crew, maintenance staff, laborers, builders.
Gulfstream is an excellent example of this in action. Gulfstream jets can double the price over comparable products from brands like Bombardier or Cessna. And all of the crew, maintenance, training, and other operating costs can easily double as well. And, IMHO at least, there's nothing about the Gulfstream aircraft that justifies this extravagant expense. As far as I can tell, the Gulfstream name is a machine that transfers money from unsuspecting and vain rich people straight to Gulfstream and a few aerospace workers.

For those who may be from the Frozen Nawth, Mardi Gras parades, particularly in New Orleans, are all about the free giveaways.
It's also nice to wear sandals with good arch support around the house or wherever. Don't just go barefoot.
NATO allies are expected to standardize their military equipment and processes to some extent, so they can interoperate with each other. This is why there's NATO standard ammunition, and why the US military does a lot of stuff in metric.
One non-dirty-tricks reason to do this would be to give Ukraine ample time to get all that administrative stuff in order.
