Jamming works AWESOME when no one is shooting back. In the event of a real war big shooty things will be flying back and forth killing people and breaking stuff. I’ve been out of it for a while; I am willing to bet that we have something in our bag of tricks to deal with this in the event of a real war. How much of an “emergency” is it when the emmitting source goes up in a great big fireball?

The Chinese and Russian know what happened to Iraqi radar operators and EW folks when they turned their gear on. I am sure they are working to find a way around it, just as we are coming up with ways to ruin the bad guy’s days in more imaginative and deadly ways.

This is way too technical. Can you break it down a little for us laymen?

It depends. Emitting source can be modified microwave oven. Already tried and it works.

$75 decoy vs. $750,000 missile.
