The system can jam communications systems, disable guided missiles and aircraft, and neutralize Low-Earth Orbit spy satellites and radars (AWACS) at ranges of 150-300km, which cover northern and central Israel. The Krasukha-4 can also damage opposing EW ... Israel’s military and air force know about the Krasukha-4 but have never met it in action. However, it is well known to the Americans.

It’s getting to the point where civilians need EW equipment to close prying eyes.

Yes. Largest RF source is easily targeted.

Nobody does ECM better than the US.

This one system can destroy any Isreali chance.
I see it as a clear and present act of war against Isreal.

Perhaps, but the bullets have to pass through the latest version of the Russian S-400 command systems to reach the jammer. Which means that what ever bullet you use cannot be guided as all those systems are jammed

You are correct, one does not need air assets for SEAD, artillery or an artillery raid could be effective.

From where would this putative artillery or an artillery raid be launched from? Tartus is a long way from Israel, Lebanon or Turkey ...
