The Russian manufacturer of the system said the report was a hoax and the device was not even installed on the Russian plane.

Electric bomb? Do they have an extension cord long enough?

Disabling a single ship in the ocean, and taking out the entire US Navy at one time, is a bald faced lie. We’ve known about static in strat nue-dets for a long time. We plan to do the same if we have to launch.

Here is a good, although lengthy, article about it:

"The major worry then should be what will happen when an enemy takes out the electrical grid. Within 48 hours, there would be millions of dead robots and the nation would be on its back."

While Putin's terminator robots are immune to all electrical interference and to everything else!

Russian Military FUTURE ROBOT soldier Putin is impressed

Well, if the military hasn't hardened its systems against possible EMP attacks, the Russians might be right. They could certainly take down the electric grid for the entire country.

The book "One Second After", by William Forstchen is an interesting and terrifying look into one small are of the US after one such attack, which would not be terribly hard to do for a small group of well funded terrorists.

from link:

Russian Sukhoi Su -24 with the newest jamming complex paralyzed in the Black Sea the most modern American combat management system “Aegis” installed on the destroyer “USS Donald Cook”. Pavel Zolotarev, Deputy Director, Institute of USA and Canada, shares details about this version which is being actively discussed in the Russian media and by bloggers.

US destroyer “Donald Cook” with cruise missiles “Tomahawk” entered the neutral waters of the Black Sea on April 10. The purpose was a demonstration of force and intimidation in connection with the position of Russia in Ukraine and Crimea. The appearance of American warships in these waters is in contradiction of the Montreux Convention about the nature and duration of stay in the Black Sea by the military ships of countries not washed by this sea.

In response, Russia sent an unarmed bomber Su- 24 to fly around the U.S. destroyer. However, experts say that this plane was equipped with the latest Russian electronic warfare complex. According to this version, “Aegis” spotted from afar the approaching aircraft, and sounded alarm. Everything went normally, American radars calculated the speed of the approaching target. And suddenly all the screens went blank. “Aegis” was not working any more, and the rockets could not get target information. Meanwhile, Su-24 flew over the deck of the destroyer, did battle turn and simulated missile attack on the target. Then it turned and repeated the maneuver. And did so 12 times.

Apparently, all efforts to revive the “Aegis” and provide target information for the defence failed. Russia’s reaction to military pressure from the United States was profoundly calm, feels the Russian political scientist Pavel Zolotarev:

The demonstration was original enough. A bomber without any weapons, but having onboard equipment for jamming enemy radar, worked against a destroyer equipped with “Aegis”, the most modern system of air and missile defence. But this system of mobile location, in this case the ship, has a significant drawback. That is, the target tracking capabilities.

“For those of you who have never heard of a magrav, and that includes the scientific community, an Iranian scientist with very unconventional views, is being credited with supplying the technology that did what some day could not be done. “

Yeah, it’s starting to sound a little nutty:

"I’d say that we need a little more information than that......"

Do you mean with a national military force telling you everything it knows, or will something simple with footnotes do?

USS Donald Cook
Wikipedia
History
The jamming claims were ignored by Western mainstream media. They were dismissed in February 2015 as "nothing but a newspaper hoax" by the Khibiny jammer's Russian manufacturer KRET' website, which asserted that Khibiny was not installed on Su-24 but claimed it was "capable of completely neutralising the enemy radar".[14] One analyst described the incident as "about as tame a flyby as you can get."[9]

[...]
14. "Russian EW-technologies are among the most advanced in the world". kret.com. 27 February 2015.
9. Mulrine, Anna (15 April 2014). "Russian aircraft buzz US Navy destroyer: How big a deal?". Christian Science Monitor.


Of course, Wikipedia is a Yankee, imperialist plot inspired by those capitalist Reptilians from Nibiru. Hmmm. You could try asking KRET for the schematic and pictorial diagrams for its gadget. ;-D

Jamming is one thing. Aegis is not “latest tech”

“Wiping out entire US Navy with a single electronic bomb” is another thing entirely.

Veterans Today keeps some ugly company (Iran, Russia, Syria,...) and does not represent American veterans. The editor claims that his website has been hacked by the U.S. Army by order of President Trump.

“The disabling actually happened and was reported on here on FR.”

In both cases it was the USS Cook. Maybe the ship needs to be towed back to Bath Irons Works and claim the Lemon law.
