i'd also note that antennas, amplifiers and so on have bandwidth that is some % of carrier frequency, depending on design, so just going up in frequency makes bandwidth bigger. getting higher % of bandwidth requires more sophisticated, more expensive, heavier designs. LoRa is much slower, caused by narrowed bandwidth but also because it's more noise-resistant
that key to heaven was probably something between mistranslation and bs, but there's so many more awful shit!
electric swamp - iraq used swamps as a natural barrier, laying mines, placing mortars and HMGs around, and also putting high voltage wires in water. when iranian raid was detected, they'd just fire a bit until iranians fell to water, then turned power on
BWR fights - phoenix missiles on iranian tomcats. iraqis had no idea what's going on to the point that they suspected sabotage (mirages just fell apart in air for no reason)
war profiteering - lots of countries sold covertly weapons to iraq or to both sides, but swiss were probably worst: they sold gas masks to iran and chemical weapons precursors to iraq
ww1 era warfare complete with said chemical weapons, and also genocide of Kurds for some reason
and all for nothing (result: status quo ante bellum)
all metals that bind to sulfur well are to some degree poisonous. these are lead, mercury, thallium, some platinides (in salt form), arsenic, and also copper, but less than others. some metals have other mechanisms of toxicity, like nickel, hexavalent chromium, cadmium, beryllium or barium. some of these accumulate in brain or bones, and some don't. some are more toxic when inhaled like zinc or chromium

you also get points for historical accuracy, as it was used as far back as ancient rome
also, how low tech is low tech? Litvinenko was dying for three weeks after polonium poisoning, and radium will have similar effects, first extracted 1898
sorry for being unclear, i forgor a word. what i meant that certain antenna designs would have specific fractional bandwidth, so that just scaling that design to higher frequency makes usable bandwidth wider in kHz terms. in order to get higher fractional bandwidth more complex or bulkier designs would be required, like thicker conductors, added parasitics, something LPDA-shaped, or maybe elaborate matching circuit, all of which cost money. i guess that while resonant amplifiers are a thing, probably bigger limitation would be bandwidth of mixer
