That’s interesting. I seem to remember reading somewhere on a thread that it’s not possible to do that. I wonder if we can do the same to Russia’s planes?
“Right now in Syria we are operating in the most aggressive EW environment on the planet from our adversaries,” Thomas told a crowd of some 2,000 “intelligence professionals” at the GEOINT Symposium on Tuesday, according to Breaking Defense.
“They are testing us everyday, knocking our communications down, disabling our EC-130s, etcetera,” he added.
While Thomas did not say which country is responsible for the attacks, Russian jamming and electronic warfare capabilities in Syria have long been noticed. Earlier this month, reports surfaced that Russian jamming was affecting small US surveillance drones.

The Navy is stepping up its offensive and defensive electronic warfare, or EW, technologies through testing, new programs, research and training as service leaders recognize the pace of global technological change and the likelihood that they will need to operate in more contested electromagnetic environments.

Yes we do have capabilities . I havent read anything about taking out a plane, but jamming comms etc is a problem and can disrupt operations. They mention other disabling, but no specifics. Keeping in mind, this is what is released publicly, I’m sure there is a lot the public does not know. I’m no expert on this, I saw an interview with a commander in Syria mentioning the problem.. I’m sure others here know more about this.
