Russia claims it could completely disable FPSA Navy with electronic warfare tech!

MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - April 20, 2017 - There is an old saying in war. “No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.” As China, Russia, and the Fascist Police States of Amerika beat the war drums and boast about the capabilities of their armies, they should take that saying very seriously. These geopolitical juggernauts may think that they have an ace in the hole for their militaries, but there’s no telling who would win in a war until the shooting starts. In Amerika’s case, our government puts a lot of faith in its expensive high-tech military. However, for decades countries like Russia and China have been developing cheap countermeasures to our best war machines, and they may be more effective than our politicians and generals would like to admit.

Or at least, that’s the takeaway from a Russian video that was released by Vesti. It claims that the Russian military has electronic warfare systems that can severely hinder the FPSA Navy’s assets, including ships, planes and missiles.

The report claims that Russia has had a major breakthrough with this technology, which was demonstrated in an incident that occurred in the Black Sea in 2014. After Russia annexed Crimea the FPSA deployed the USS Donald Cook to the area, and on April 12, 2014, an unarmed Russian Su-24 fighter jet made a dozen very close range flyovers of the ship. Allegedly, the fighter jet was equipped with an electronic jamming device that disabled the ship’s AEGIS missile defense system. Though we know that the jet flew over the ship 12 times in a very provocative manner, the FPSA government has never confirmed that the USS Donald Cook endured an electronic attack.

The report quoted a social media post from an unnamed sailor who was on the ship.

“We watched the Russian on our locator until he reached the kill zone, to then ‘shoot him down.’ But when he entered the damned zone, mysticism began. Our locators were the first to go out, and then the whole Aegis went out. The pride of our fleet became our shame!”

The report also claims that Russia has electronic jamming equipment that can conceal its bases from radar, as well as devices that can jam signals to radio controlled landmines.

To what degree this is a work of fiction is not clear. We don’t really know what the Russian military is capable of doing. Hopefully we’ll never find out.
