Talk about the radio communication in this movie

1. The male protagonist lost his mind halfway through and did not think that he should use the antenna on the satellite phone he got from the dead black mercenary to repair his own one. I didn't think about it until the end of the movie.

2. The Iraqi snipers first killed the workers, then pretended to be (or left a live port, and then silenced after he sent the distress signal, the same below) the workers sent a distress signal to the mercenaries; then sniped and killed the mercenaries who came to the rescue, and then pretended to be The mercenary sends a distress signal to the U.S. military. Instead of killing the protagonist directly in the middle, he chatted with the protagonist. The purpose is to extract some insignificant life details that the protagonist knows, and then send a distress signal to the U.S. military base to attract the U.S. military to come to rescue, and then conduct further sniping. . This logic seems ingenious, but in fact it is really nonsense. Although radio communication will distort the voice to a certain extent, it is absolutely impossible that even the voices of comrades-in-arms or subordinates who get along with him day and night cannot be heard. Moreover, even if the Iraqi sniper learned some details about each other's life through conversation, it is impossible to pretend to be the other party so easily. The reason is very simple, the officers in the base are not fools, what you say is what you say. People can also ask you some questions for you to answer. It's like there is an episode in our domestic drama "Snow Leopard" in which Japanese officer Takeshita Jun disguised as the Eighth Route Army and was seen through by a squad leader of the Eighth Route Army. Obviously there is no one named Zhang San in your army, but they ask you how Zhang San's father is doing recently? No matter how you answer this kind of question, there is only one result—the scumbag.

3. The protagonist accidentally pressed the call button on the walkie-talkie when his teammate Sergeant Martin finally got the sniper rifle and was aiming at the other party, which exposed the counter-sniper plan of himself and his teammates in advance. The director/writer's handling here is too far-fetched. The protagonist is obviously not moving, right? It's just lying on the ground, how can I accidentally press the call button on the walkie-talkie! I've talked so much before, but I didn't accidentally press it, how could I make such a low-level mistake at the most critical time!

4. When the protagonist started talking to the Iraqi sniper, he used a walkie-talkie signal instead of a satellite phone signal. At that time, he already knew that the antenna on the satellite phone was broken, so it was impossible to receive any valid signals from the satellite phone. The communication range of the walkie-talkie is only 3-5 kilometers, so the person who is talking to you must not be the base commander. Do you need to listen to the accent of the other party to detect such an obvious thing?

5. The last point has nothing to do with radio, but I still want to write, why should the person with the sniper rifle go down to search at the beginning, and let the person with the assault rifle go up to cover, it is completely to avoid weaknesses.
