Russia Widens EW War, ‘Disabling’ EC-130s In Syria

GEOINT: The Compass Call is supposed to be one of America’s foremost electronic warfare weapons, but the EC-130s flying near Syria are being attacked and disabled “in the most aggressive EW environment on the planet,” the head of Special Operations Command said here today.

“Right now in Syria we are operating in the most aggressive EW environment on the planet from our adversaries. They are testing us everyday, knocking our communications down, disabling our EC-130s, etcetera,” Gen. Raymond Thomas told an audience of some 2,000 intelligence professionals.

While, for obvious reasons, we don’t know many details about the nature of the attacks on the EC-130s, we do know the Russians have done what one EW expert called a “good job” in several recent conflicts using EW. And the Russians are in force in Syria and provide most of the gear used by the Syrian military.
“The Russians have redone and reengineered their entire EW fleet in the last 20 years,” notes Lori Moe Buckhout, a retired Army colonel who specializes in EW. After the Russians attacked Georgia, they concluded they needed to upgrade their EW capabilities, she says. “The Russians put in millions on upgrades after Georgia. They’ve ended up with killer capabilities, jamming in a multitude of frequencies for hundreds of kilometers.”

She also notes that the Russians may not have gone head to head against the EC-130s EW attack capabilities. They may have taken the much easier route of interfering with the Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) or their communications gear, making it more difficult to fly the aircraft since crews would have had to rely on maps, line of sight and other techniques.
“The problem the EC-130s have is that, while they are jamming, the crews aren’t doing much else,” making them more vulnerable to attacks, she says. “They could have gone after the PNT or the comms.” The Russians “know all of our vulnerabilities.”

There are other problems US forces must cope with, says Loren Thompson, a well known defense consultant: “We’ve spent so much time fighting enemies in Southwest Asia who were technically unsophisticated that we are not up to speed on tactical electronic warfare.” Buckhout said Thompson has a point.

nemesis4u:
Yes as I said before Mig29k operates with somewhat reduced loadout. Due to STOBAR limitations.

However

Mig29k thrust to weight ratio .97
J15 thrust to weight ratio .83

So whose loadout will be better when operating from STOBAR carriers ?

where is the technical article that states J15 jet thrust to weight ratio .83 !?

nemesis4u:
Not possible.

I read somewhere but not sure .

nemesis4u:
Not possible.

where is the technical article to support and prove your claims !?

Russia is probing/snooping for vurnerabilities which is different from disabling a system. It is a standard tactic done by all, otherwise how will u build up the threat library for ur EW systems. ( u sweat in peacetime , u gain in war )

Probing requires actual intrusion attempts inorder to map the nodes and access points etc etc.

US also does the same and is now simply using the Russian attempt at the same thing to create a impression that it's systems r vurnerable ( not that they r not vurnerable ) so that it can ask for more funds for new systems and R & D

Classic case of, no problem when I set ur ass on fire , but raising hell when mine got set on fire

I thought the Donald cook/Su-24 spoofing incident would have set alarm bells. but in some quarters it is believed that it's some sort of fabrication.


If the Ruskies Sukhoi actually blinded the destroyer then US is in serious problem.

the general was talking about AC-130 gunships not EC-130,he was misquoted.

nemesis how market?

it seems like your country has a new strategic partner.
thereby dishing the old one.

or should I call it decamping

like seriously.

MISQUOTE

lionel4power:
ohh... I was referring to the B version which is VTOL. If the C's are to be used on the carriers then where would the F-35 B fits in?

35B is for Marines (they can operate them off their LPD's) and the British (who for some reason put a ramp on their carrier)

I think the entire british order is for 35B's

jakeporeshenko:
8 Mig-25s have been shot down Where did they see service

The F-4 numbers are quite shocking too I’m guessing Vietnam

Iran-Iraq, GW1, GW2, Syria
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-25#Operational_history

This is interesting:

India (Mig-25):

The MiG-25 was kept a guarded secret in India, designated Garuda named after the large mythical bird of God Vishnu from Hindu scriptures.[60] It was used extensively in the Kargil War and Operation Parakram, conducting aerial reconnaissance sorties over Pakistan

In May 1997, an Indian Air Force Mikoyan MiG-25RB reconnaissance aircraft created a furor when the pilot flew faster than Mach 2 over Pakistani territory following a reconnaissance mission into Pakistan airspace.[62] The MiG-25 broke the sound barrier while flying at an altitude of around 65,000 feet (20,000 m), otherwise the mission would have remained covert, at least to the general public. The Pakistani Government contended that the breaking of the sound barrier was a deliberate attempt to make the point that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) had no aircraft in its inventory that could come close to the MiG-25's cruising altitude (up to 74,000 feet (23,000 m)).[62] India denied the incident but Pakistan's Foreign Minister, Gohar Ayub Khan, believed that the Foxbat photographed strategic installations near the capital, Islamabad.[62][63]

Lack of spare parts and India's acquisition of unmanned aerial vehicles and satellite imagery eventually led to its retirement in 2006.[N 3][60][61]

An aerial observation of the solar eclipse of October 24, 1995 over India was conducted by a MiG-25,[64] which took images of the eclipse at an altitude of 25 km.

Seriously guys ?

Please mask the use of words like ind... Pak....

Don't come complaining to me when u all get roasted in the future.

Titanium sponge production facility , it is old news actually.

Titanium sponge is the raw material used to make titanium based alloys.

Less than 10 countries in the world have facilities to produce the same , becz titanium is a very difficult metal to process, handle, machine , weld etc .

Funny thing Ind... had the technology for a long time , but people in power who received kickbacks from import of titanium sponge kept the technology from being realised for a long time untill there was a large hue and cry against it.

See the greatest harm done to a country is mostly by its own people.

Rare earth based permanent magnets . Technology developed by BARC

many don't know when it comes to core technology research and development BARC is 100 times better than DRDO.

patches689:

I think the entire british order is for 35B's

okay... it'll replace the Harrier jump jets... the USMC wouldn't be foolish enough to use it against a dedicated carrier based fix wing.

The brits have been fascinated with jump jets since they used them successfully in the Falklands.

Many people thinks Donald cook incident is a hoax . For jamming and deception radar should continually radiate high power signals and I don't think An Airborne radar can generate that much power to jam a ship born radar . May be they can spoof the naval radar.

in this our nairaland ? Tah they should come, might even be a good thing, we’ll unite against a common enemy

deception is not dependent on radiated power output perse, it largely depends on the potency of the techniques being employed.

Rest what u said is correct.

Su 57 started testing of its new Engine Product 30. That zig Zag nozzles beefed up its IR stealth characteristics

Well one can summerize it as " digging ones own grave that too willingly "

Internet is all about anonymity , deception etc so good luck finding a common enemy

All u will find is chaos and mayhem
