Russia’s Winning the Electronic War (Russian tech jams comm and drone NATO signals)
foreignpolicy.com ^ | October 21, 2015 | Paul McLeary

It comes at different times, and in different forms. But as they have charted the war in southeast Ukraine over the past year, drones flown by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe have run into the same problem: Russian troops on the ground are jamming them into virtual blindness.

It’s just one part of a sophisticated Russian electronic warfare (EW) effort in Ukraine that has proved a sobering experience for the U.S. Army. Faced with how the newly modernized Russian army is operating in Ukraine and Syria — using equipment like the Krasukha-4, which jams radar and aircraft — American military officials are being forced to admit they’re scrambling to catch up.

I am still waiting for him/her to point out where I posted any pro Putin Russia stuff also. I posted a story of Russians bombing hospitals and ambulances in Syria and she/he saw it as a positive pro Russian posting. LOL!

LINK PLEASE...

Here's some examples from the good old days, which literally took five seconds of googling, of you posting now discredited propaganda from RT, then articles discussing how Europe was supposedly "pushing back" against Ukrainian claims of Russian military action, and posts you made claiming Russian "seperatist" tanks were just captured Ukrainian tanks, and all this in an environment where I had been posting videos and pictures of Russian tanks literally just crossing the Russian border into Ukraine:

You don’t have to lie

You're a shameless liar.

You’re just trolling again.

You are derailing YET ANOTHER thread, that was about Russian tech.

Not sure why you haven’t been zotted long before now, but it’s not my site.

This is actually bad news for them. They've showed their card. Now we can develop a counter to it.

That's why Obama doesn't attack anything. He's saving our military for the right time. /sarc

You seriously want me to do that when you come off in this thread as a hysterical Russian propagandist? You are stupid. I was hoping to draw you into a debate challenging you on your usual crap, but your behavior is that of a troll and not a normal poster.

We KNOW the Soros-paid Maidan trolls (who have a LARGE “internet opinion” operation. There have been many articles over the last two years in the western media about it.”) hate the Russians.

Most of us want to know what is really going on in the world, without the propaganda fog.

they are paid to obsfuscate it.

This is one is a REAL hater.

Which is why you spent huge chunks of the year posting articles from websites claiming that Ukrainians were crucifying babies! And when they're not reporting that, your websites were interviewing Nazis from Germany about how evil Ukraine is or conspiracy theorists who claim that Pope Francis is not the real Pope, but that in fact Rome is controlled by a Pope-Conehead-alien who has taken control of the world's gold supplies.

“This is actually bad news for them. They’ve showed their card. Now we can develop a counter to it”

Syria is giving the Russians (AND the Chinese, by the way) a real chance to real-world test all of that tech and new doctrines they have been developing for the last twenty years.

And the stuff in Syria, SO FAR, isn’t even the latest of the latest. When you start seeing the new ELINT aircraft and such flying over Syria, then THAT will be the latest joint Russia-Chinese stuff.

“The Russians are the only nation that came close to landing a man on the moon.”

Not even close. No Cosmonaut ever left Earth’s orbit (at on purpose, ha, ha!), which our Astronauts began doing in 1968. The Russians finally sent up an unmanned lunar lander which scooped up and returned several ounces of soil. That was it. Even 46 years after we did it, no other country has sent a man to the moon.

The Russians have had a couple of decades , IN COOPERATION with the Chinese, to develop countermeasures to some of the tech we use. This isn’t a 1970’s Soviet force we are talking about. The tech edge has been slipping for twenty years.

And the large numbers of Chinese students in our universities, where they can gain knowledge of our tech, doesn't help us.

We’ve had this argument before, and you lost it then, too.

All you are doing Iis TROLLING, as per usual.

Do you have any comments on the actual ARTICLE, or are you just here to defend anything the Obama administration supports?

Not sure why so many “conservatives” have this love affair for Putin

“Conservatives”, or perhaps something completely different?

Some may not be US citizens, or posting from CONUS?

What I said is accurate. The Soviets failed but they were almost able to do it. If they can send a lander to the moon - still almost impossible for any other country to do - they can have the tech savvy to jam signals.

No we haven't. This is the first time you've actually denied your own posts/arguments about Russian military involvement in Ukraine or the types of sources you use. And since I proved it you sure didn't "win" anything here. You are a shameless liar who behaves like a propagandist, and I still don't understand why the Mods zotted some of your confederates but spared you. Your behavior is obvious and heinous.

“Think people, is Russia, which is still our mortal enemy, really a country you should be cheering for?”

As long as the Rooskies are frustrating Obama’s plans and his aid to Islamicists, and as long they’re smoking muzzie savages, well—yeah!

As I see it, Barack Hussein Obama is a “mortal enemy”. But go ahead and continue your love affair for him and his actions against us if you wish ...
