It comes at different times, and in different forms. But as they have charted the war in southeast Ukraine over the past year, drones flown by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe have run into the same problem: Russian troops on the ground are jamming them into virtual blindness.
It’s just one part of a sophisticated Russian electronic warfare (EW) effort in Ukraine that has proved a sobering experience for the U.S. Army. Faced with how the newly modernized Russian army is operating in Ukraine and Syria — using equipment like the Krasukha-4, which jams radar and aircraft — American military officials are being forced to admit they’re scrambling to catch up.

Good.
Everyone’s a winner if they’re adversary is Fudgepacker Supreme.
There. Fixed it.
Not sure why so many “conservatives” have this love affair for Putin and his country’s actions against us, Mr. “Trumpinator” being an example of this. They point to Obama, but which intelligence organization supported and controlled the Left and its cultural assault against America? Who does their assault against marriage or the like actually serve and benefit? Just because the Berlin wall fell, doesn’t mean that suddenly all of these agents of subversion suddenly got cut off by Russia’s intelligence services. Obama is Putin’s best ally!
As for all this mess about Russia supposedly being “Christian.” All propaganda aimed at the right wing in Europe and the US. They use the opposite propaganda when courting Communist groups. Russia is supposedly a “Russian Orthodox Country” where 90 percent of everybody identifies as ROC, but only 7 percent even attend church just once a month. AIDS, drug use, and massive corruption are as high as ever and getting higher. You can’t even get a driver’s license in most places in Russia without paying a bribe. And you fools think that the Kremlin is stuffed with a bunch of “conservatives”?
Think people, is Russia, which is still our mortal enemy, really a country you should be cheering for?
Yes, the Russians have always been a fountain of new technology. LOL.
What does your weird rant have to do with signal jam communications? This is not a pro or anti Russian post - it’s a military technology post. You have to tell us why you think this makes people have a love affair with Putin. You even bring up religion into this post. WTF?
The Russians have had a couple of decades , IN COOPERATION with the Chinese, to develop countermeasures to some of the tech we use.
This isn’t a 1970’s Soviet force we are talking about.
The tech edge has been slipping for twenty years.
“What does your weird rant have to do with signal jam communications? This is not a pro or anti Russian post - it’s a military technology post.”
He’s just trolling, as usual.
The Russians are the only nation that came close to landing a man on the moon. They are more than capable of inventing signal jamming technology - in fact - it probably is easy for them.
Why is it that every time you respond to me or anyone challenging you on your Pro-Putin fest get responses like "weird" rant? It should be perfectly obvious why I'm bringing it up in one of your threads.
I think he/she lives in dread anyone will ever say anything good about Russia - even if it is a statement like - I like Russian vodka - she/he will post a long rant about how Russians are all drunks and they were ruled by Stalin. Drink Polish vodka instead, etc. It is so transparent.
How does aids and Russia’s religion play into tech talk? Thus your rant is weird.
Says the guy who spent a a good chunk of a year denying Russian military involvement in Ukraine.
Complacency and incompetence will tend to do that.
Coincidentally that's statistically true. Russia has a significant drinking problem with low life expectancy.
Calls for a “No Jamb Zone” in 3...2...1.
(Isn’t it about time we picked up our marbles and went home.)
LINK PLEASE...
You don’t have to lie, but it seems to be what you do.
I’m sure counter-measures are developed or are being developed, such as a missile that homes in on the jamming system.
