As a former EW SIGINT Non-Communications Interceptor, I can absolutely confirm that things go BOOM as a result of EW. Identifying and geolocating TA and TT radars associated with SAM systems absolutely puts them at the top of the 'destroy this' list. You can't begin to have air superiority until you disable the enemy's SAM systems. IR or laser designated systems are another story, however.

I'm an electrical engineer who had some exposure to ECM gear while an avionics tech in the military. I've also had the pleasure of browsing through a book that went into details on how radar works. Is there any chance of a introductory video (or more?) on how different types of ECM work? Or maybe a link to someone who has already done this? The old technique was to just overwhelm the signals, but even 40 years ago, there were much less obvious jamming techniques that altered the signals instead of drowning them out.

You're asking for mostly classified information. Or at least that specific application of common electronics uses. If you pay attention to what is said, you can learn much. When the spy balloon scenario played out, people were outraged the US military allowed it to continue over the contiguous US. But a military official said they "neutralized its intelligence gathering capabilities" and were "studying it and had determined what its capabilities were". Then prompty shot it down with not just a missile. But an Aim-9X heat seeking missile. People were outraged again at the government waste of not using cheap bullets. But it was a signal to China, that our heat seeking missiles can track and destroy aircraft that produce zero heat. A deep dive into SR-71 tech shows, they did not overwhelm the inbound missiles onboard radar. They mimicked its signal and transmitted back to the threat a different location. This seemed to work, with a track record of >4,000:0. And also eliminates making yourself an enormous EM transmitter that can easily be tracked.

Russia has had COMPLETE AND TOTAL control of the air. Ukrainians had been unable to provide air support for their forces and also failed to kill a single Russian fighter, while Russians used their aircraft with impunity, apart from ground threat. Ground threat is separate from attaining air supremacy and control of the air.

[@Greasy__Bear]

I think and su27 and a su35 have been shot down by SAMs as well as quite a few su25s. Still pretty good if russia is flying over 100 missions a day. (I think I heard over 100 missions per day about six months ago.)

[@Max_Da_G]

@@Greasy__Bear I saw those reports. Russians however never flew Su-27s in Ukrainian skies. Only Su-30SM, Su-34 and Su-35S fighters, Su-25 CAS birds and Mi-24, Mi-28 and Ka-52 choppers on combat missions. Wagner PMC did fly a Su-24 which got shot down. Point I'm trying to make is that SAM threat isn't aerial. It's a ground threat, and MANPADS never go away. Not today with their massive proliferation in militaries. Russia has made sure Ukraine can't provide air support for their troops on the ground because it shoots Ukrainian fighters and strikers down. Meanwhile Russians are conducting any and all aerial missions they consider necessary to conduct, being mindful of ground threat. That's definition of achieving and maintaining air supremacy. Mission rate is indeed very high, but that's a general overall mission rate across all platforms deployed, so choppers, fighters, CAS and even the Mainstays. Russians even used Tu-22M3s for some missions when they fired Kh-32 anti-ship missiles at ground targets. 1100lb High-Explosive warhead is scary enough. Some Kh-22 were fired too which are worse: 2200lb. I REALLY don't envy the Ukrainians.

Counterspace has been around for decades. In the 1980s, I helped maintain a satellite whose primary sensor had a limited arc of use. We kept it up there under orders and every few months someone would contact us and ask about the satellite's condition. Nothing changed for a year, to the apparent disappointment of the contacts. Then, suddenly, the main sensor started functioning over the entire arc of scanning. Immediately after, the mystery folks contacted us and we thanked them for fixing our spacecraft. The method used was only loosely in the electromagnetic spectrum - it was a laser weapon. Less than a decade later, I worked on developing a defense against such a weapon.

[@irongron]

WIth EW and Sat's in LEO not being separate issues. Just jamming GPS would be one simple example that's been a problem here since 2020'ish. My home was near the contact line (60km as the crow flies) in Donbas and I used to pay attention to the OSCE reports, being so close to the "grey zone". One big problem before the 2022 re-invasion was the OSCE’s long-range UAVs were experiencing GPS signal interference on take-off and landing, affecting both of their dual redundant GPS receivers. This was the most well known example of Russian EW before 2022 I suppose and obviously it was "practice" in preparation for the invasion in February. Below is the quote from the first report that mentioned this at the OSCE website. Spot Report 6/2021: SMM long-range UAV unable to take off due to dual GPS signal interference "On the evening of 6 April, an SMM long-range unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was unable to take off from its base in government-controlled Stepanivka (54km north of Donetsk) to conduct regular monitoring of areas on both sides of the contact line, due to dual GPS signal interference assessed as caused by jamming. This is the first time such interference has prevented a take-off since the Mission launched long-range UAV operations in October 2014."

[@Veldtian1]

haha burrrn.

[@R4002]

I’m not surprised unfortunately, given the heavy saturation of jamming platforms the Russians now have on/near the front line, with a focus on GPS and the UHF/SHF radio links used to both control the UAV/drone from the ground station and for the drone the transmit video and other information back to the control station.

We all know that the US saturated Ukraine with both Javelins and Stingers, which played a large part in keeping Russia from gaining air supremacy as well as stopping Russia from a tank Blitzkrieg. The SAMS were no big deal, they could be jammed, Stingers and Javelins can't.

What's for sure about Russian EW right now is that all over the battlefield, GPS signals don't work, or work but very eerily. Hence why the US gave JDAMs to Ukraine, but a version without the GPS module, since it's rendered useless

[@DamirMaatar]

@EssentukiTlt Glonass is what the Russians are using. The US can't use Glonass for military purpose. It may be able to scramble the signals but i didn't read snything about that happening on the battlefield

[@ImBigFloppa]

The GPS jamming is only effective out to about 10km or so, and even then, the INS modules in all GMLRS and JDAMs is more than capable of guiding the round close enough to the target to take it out - See constant attacks on Crimea using GPS guided Storm Shadows with INS backup that hit their targets with near perfect accuracy. JDAMs of every variant, whether they are the normal ones or the extended range or laser guided variants, already have GPS chips installed. Taking them out of the ones we send would not only probably cost more since that is additional man hours, it probably isn’t even possible since the GPS chip and accompanying electronics are likely already soldered into place and required for the JDAM to even work

I wonder, is it possible to make a small microwave emitter, say the cavity magnetron from a microwave oven, appear like a military radar to a HARM? Though I suspect better minds than mine have already pondered and rejected this idea.

[@hippoace]

there has been reports HARM missiles hitting civilian radio transmitters that were too close to the target

[@R4002]

Modern anti-radiation missile guidance systems look for numerous characteristics specific to a given target. Basic radar technology involves a radar sending out (transmitting) a radio-frequency pulse and then switching to receive mode to listen for the return of that pulse. The following characteristics are unique: The rate of how often each pulse is transmitted (the PRF) The *duration* of each pulse (usually measured in microseconds) The Radio Frequency of the actual transmitted signals. Additional characteristics: This includes does the radar alter its frequency during operation? Does each individual radar pulse change frequency as it’s transmitted? Does the radar use the FM-CW function? Is frequency hopping (*very* rapid changes in frequency, usually in the order of 100 times a second to thousands of times per second) in use? Receivers in anti-radar missiles are programmed with this data for various specific radar systems. A microwave oven, on the other hand, is a continuous noisy transmission on a given piece of spectrum - often the 2.4 GHz band - 2400 MHz - 2500 MHz [2.400 GHz - 2.500 GHz] with the center frequency 2.45 GHz usually, the 2.4 GHz spectrum is very congested and interference is a given. It shared with WiFi, Bluetooth, wireless links for CCTV video, cordless phones, baby monitors, wireless mics, remote control (RC) systems - yes, drone control systems use it as well). This spectrum is used because it is license-free (as long as transmitter power output requirements are followed). Microwave ovens are considered “ISM” [Industrial, Scientific and Medical] devices. In other words, they use radio frequencies, but *not* for communicating with people/things remotely/wirelessly. See 47 CFR 18. The ISM frequency bands are often co-allocated with low power no license required systems like WiFi, Bluetooth, and so on. Microwave ovens usually do a good job of keeping all their RF energy inside the microwave oven itself, but there are many other ISM devices that actually transmit radio-frequency signals out into “the wild” where they cause interference to other systems on the same frequency or frequency spectrum like any other radio signal would. Because of this, most short range radio frequency systems that share spectrum with ISM devices basically are at the mercy of ISM. Yep, WiFi uses the 5 GHz band and 5.8 GHz band (5725 MHz - 5875 MHz) too (mostly because of the absurd amount of interference on 2.4 GHz) and other frequency bands for special applications. Cordless phones are now mostly on 900 MHz (in the USA) and the DECT system (DECT 6.0) which operates around 1.7 GHz. Same reason, too much interference. Long story short, modern radar systems and modern systems designed to defeat modern radar systems are designed with extensive digital signal processing (DSP) capability to filter out non-pertinent signals, interference, intentional jamming and noise (or “clutter” if you’re using the specific to radar term). That, and most radars don’t use the same 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum that microwave ovens do. While it is true that many radar systems use microwave frequencies, “microwave” is just another way of saying “anything above 2 GHz (2000 MHz) or so.” Some radar systems operate on lower frequencies (especially early-warning radar systems, some of which operate down in the VHF spectrum around 175-200 MHz) and over the horizon radar systems operate on frequencies *below* 30 or 40 MHz. Remember that the spectrum allocated to the FM broadcast radio band is 88-108 MHz. Rule of thumb: lower frequency = longer range lower frequency = larger antenna required lower frequency = poorer target resolution higher frequency gives better target resolution and it is much easier to focus the radar beam like a pencil beam when higher frequencies are used.

At the beginning of the invasion, the Russians suffered from extensive “EW fratricide”. Also, they simply do not have enough tactical radios with ECCM capability for the number of troops and units they fielded. Now their (the Russians) approach is for secure comms for “battalion and above” echelon. Below that there is still use of regular old COTS handheld radios (Baofengs, etc.) with some encrypted comms also being used . The issue of sharing encryption keys is still very widespread apparently. I would love to take a look at a spectrum scope (a SDR waterfall display) sitting 30,000 or so feet above the battlefield. The Russians continue to use HF for battlefield comms, there’s something to be said for that. Especially if they’re focusing on jamming higher frequencies, not just the usual VHF/UHF tactical bands (25-30 MHz, 30-88 MHz, 136-174 MHz, 380-520 MHz) and the aircraft bands (108-150 MHz and 225-400 MHz).

Ditto for Iraq/Afghan conflict, where their comms were burner phones on sketchy networks.

[@ciuyr2510]

it is a russian hopium rule so overall i`ll take it as utter nonsense, just because of that fact alone.

@@Triple_J.1 "I think it has to do with relying on NATO being well coordinated and relying on comms to operate effectively. " shows how little you know. I was part fo NATO, fought as a member of NATO forces. The US military THRIVES in chaos. Most of our missions we had no radio contact at all, we had no support nor backup at all. We made crap up on the fly. The US military is excellent BECAUSE we're so good in chaos and when we don't have comms, etc. Jam us all you like, we're still going to kill you (who ever our enemy is at the moment). US uses a bottom up structure, Russia and most other militaries use a top-down system. Without comms and coordination they are paralyzed. In the US we actually fight BETTER when cut off from higher command.

[@christophmahler]

The entire video is based on the false RUSI premises that the Russian Air Force follows a doctrine of air supremacy - which only NATO pursuits without realizing that in practice it is unachievable against any adversary with sufficient ground based air defenses and: _foreign early warning intelligence_ . Kiev's and Washington's stories about 'intercepted operational planning via cellphone' stand in stark contrast to the actual events on the ground during the negotiations in Ankara - with Russian columns, penetrating deep into Ukraine, but untouched by air strikes or counter-attacks. The media campaigns of spinning subsequent Ukrainian losses as Russian losses - to the last digit - has led to the current situation when after two years of propagating constant 'winning' a completely silenced *War of Attrition* , NATO has no other option left to continue it's covert operations against the Russian Federation under the threat of strategic stand-off strikes all across Europe, That is a strategic defeat in the very European theater that was supposed to grant leverage in the Pacific - and can argue that the total failure of NATO to deliver the grandiose victories over the entire Russian Armed Forces, it had announced with every media stunt (Kharkov, South Donetsk, Krinki, Kursk) has turned into a gain of Russian efforts in the electromagnetic spectrum - certainly when considering the shift in international affairs, away from any US diplomatic lead which comes across not just as merely normative and ideological, but as outright delusional.

[@Matt_The_Hugenot]

Re performance of russian EW systems. We have some evidence they can disrupt Ukrainian operations in the effort Ukraine has made to destroy the. The corollary to this is that those efforts have been successful and have been made with the very systems that should be most vulnerable to EW, e.g. GPS guided munitions and remotely operated drones. Additionally Russia's EW effort is unsustainable, they are losing all classes of vehicular systems at faster than replacement rate.
