I'm curious about how much of the current Russian propaganda machine is controlled by Putin.  I imagine he feeds some lines to his internet outlets and it just spreads from there.  Like the "rise of the Ukrainian Neo Nazi party" story being told and retold in the RU, give the befuddled masses the power of the internet and any story of American atrophy becomes self-sustaining.

It's not hard to lock onto the thing that's causing the jamming. Especially white noise. That's like switching on a flashlight in a dark room.

Aegis is an old system, it's been updated but even so it's not like the world isn't aware of its capabilities.  If you can put a transmitter and generator powerful enough to jam a 4 million watt phased array at a distance of 1 mile, on an su-24, well you win all the internets.  Not gonna happen.



Far more likely that they snuck a virus into its last software patch and gave themselves a back door somehow. That would be a one time use weapon, because we would shit our pants and sanitize the entire fleet.




Likelihood that any of this actually happened? Zero.

"This provocative and unprofessional Russian action is inconsistent with their national protocols and previous agreements on the professional interaction between our militaries," said Colonel Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman.

Warren said a Russian Su-24 aircraft, or Fencer, made 12 passes at low altitude near the USS Donald Cook, a destroyer that has been in the Black Sea since April 10. It appeared to be unarmed, he told reporters.

Most DF techniques measure the signal path delay difference between two or more physical observer locations.   Its intended to locate communications transmissions.  Hostile high power jamming creates a lot of problems (not just signal processing but RF and digital HW issues), and I am sorry to disagree but it is hard.

No, we don't do that when we're not at war.

What we do is send  up "escorts".

If they can get to the carrier before we send up our boys, they win.  

The carrier is the big prize, in the middle of a bunch of ships, all of which are connected by an electronic battlespace that extends beyond the physical shipline.
If they can penetrate the shipline before we get our guys up...it's a big deal.

Makes more sense this way.









"POTUS" spotted from afar the approaching situation in Russia, and sounded alarm. Everything went normally, American radars calculated the speed of the approaching target. And suddenly all the minds went blank. "POTUS" was not working any more, and the president could not get target information. Meanwhile, Putin flew over the threats from the US, did a battle turn and simulated missile attack on the target and mooned the cameras. Then it turned and repeated the maneuver. And did so 12 times.

You've obviously got some expeience in this field, but enabling HOJ isn't a hard one to do. Especially at asignificant distance.

I don't think they've got the power necessary to shut down an Aegis system, much less the CW/Doppler tracking radars at short distance to be installed onto anything as small as a fighter.

Their pilot flipped on their jamming pod and odds are the Cook's technicians flipped their radar systems off to preserve SININT. Just because there's a SU27 buzzing the Cook, doesn't mean that tthere's not two other aircraft and a ship listening.

And they *HAD* to flip off the Aegis system or the world would be short one SU27.

That's what you took from that? How about the poor response and reaction time, which IMO is probably due to red tape and command speed bumps in place at the time. This is a problem throughout all services and missions at one point or another and is a serious concern to those who their lives in play. Nobody said anything about taking out an opposing aircraft for flyby's.
