Good experience. Our guys have been operating in a benign ECM environment for quite a while.

Getting some real world experience having that free comm operating denied is valuable.

Let us try to get this understood correctly.....the CIA backed ISIS is being attacked by the US backed Kurds and good guy Syrian Rebels but they can’t do their jobs because of the ‘bad guy’ Russians?

Is that the latest false narrative being peddled....?

[Flaming Conservative]

I don’t know if I’ve said it here, but I do not believe all these military ship and aircraft accidents are pilot fault. I’ve thought, all along, that they were hacked, and the government is not letting us know.
....and no, my tin foil hat does not need reconfiguring.

...helping to take back 90 percent of territory formerly held by ISIS...

Mission Accomplished. Now bring the troops home.

This is the story, and it is a very big deal - rest is one paragraph:

“The head of the U.S. military’s Special Operations Command said Wednesday that Air Force gunships, needed to provide close air support for American commandos and U.S.-backed rebel fighters in Syria, were being “jammed” by “adversaries.”

“Calling the electronic warfare environment in Syria “the most aggressive” on earth, Army Gen. Tony Thomas told an intelligence conference in Tampa that adversaries “are testing us every day, knocking our communications down, disabling our AC-130s, etc.”

“Thomas’ remarks, which were first reported by the website The Drive, come on the heels of reports that Russian forces are jamming U.S. surveillance drones flying over the war-torn nation.

“An Air Force AC-130 gunship was among the U.S. military aircraft used to kill dozens of Russian mercenaries in Syria in early February. The Pentagon said the mercenaries attacked an outpost manned by American commandos and U.S.-backed fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), comprising Syrian Kurdish and Arab fighters.”

American commandos and U.S.-backed fighters

Where is the declaration of war?

Isn't it past time to stop the Global Luciferian War on Earth?

Dear General Thomas,

Please stop talking to the public about jamming issues. All you are doing is informing our adversaries that their tactics are effective. The public can do nothing about it. You, your service, the DoD and the defense industry CAN.

Instead, use the intelligence collected by your EW birds to generate new tactics to counter the jamming.

Since these are ground based, a HARM or AARGM would do nicely too.

In any event, stop talking.

EMP the jamming emitters. Then JDAM their power sources.

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

I’m skeptical.
