While this article is likely BS, we know the Russians, and the Chinese, have been working on countermeasures for US tech for years now.
GPS spoofers we already know about. Sat attack systems and Drone communications scramblers have been publicly talked about, while EMP bursters have been rumored for over a decade now.
Who knows what else is in the pipeline, especially with Chinese cooperation.
We can’t expect our opponents are going to sit idly by while we go stagnant.
You make a good point. This is what a Strategy of Technology is all about. Unfortunately, all we seem to have today is a strategy of blather, Muslim appeasement and outreach, and military capability decline. We must fund those vote-buying programs first.
