I concur.
MuhhHamhead declared war against mankind 1400 years ago. Satanallah declared it in the garden.
Until we declare it, it's a one sided wipeout.

For those interested in more than SAA troops dispositions and actually interested in the Russian jamming in Syria, the War Zone has an in depth article on what is really going one. It is very serious and the larger US drones are not immune (it is just a mater of time an power, as the jamming has now compromised some of the same sort of systems the large drones use)
American General Says 'Adversaries' Are Jamming AC-130 Gunships in Syria
Russia, which already appears to be waging a hybrid conflict against the United States in the country, is very likely behind these attacks

The Navy is the only service to have airborne ECM capabilities.

There are a few that didn’t join forces with ISIS and still opposed Assad.

When our comms were jammed a tone that replicated “bagpipes” was only thing we could hear..... not sure what the sounds are these days . Probably rap ....

I only carried and used those monstrous PRC-77 radios (and occasionally, a PRC-25). Heavy to carry during exercises. Glad that I was a grenadier instead of an RTO most of the time.

Still carried enough, though. My load was around 80 lbs. most of the time. That varied, ‘cause we were light engineers (re. demo and other toys).

Indeed, think of the chagrin of the old EF-111 crews knowing that swabbies and Marines have to do their job now.

Remember humping multiple PRC25/77’s up to high peaks to build re-transmission caches back in the day ....... triangulation was a real threat then. These days watching CCT’s, TACP’s and JTAC’s orchestrating awesome firepower with two small HF radios on they’re body armor, CAS and Artillery like wizards ...... impressive advances in comm since the “pricks” .
