This is the best summary I could come up with:


Mike Nagata, a retired US Army lieutenant general who led special operations in the Middle East, said that the US is “still falling behind” in its electronic warfare capabilities, reported Defense One.

“The gap between where the United States should be and where we are, in my judgment, continues to expand not everywhere, but in far too many places,” Nagata reportedly said at the SOF Week conference in Tampa, Florida.

They said that one reason the Kremlin’s technology is significantly better, is because it ignored international laws designed to stop jamming of civilian telecommunications.

It had also invested in electromagnetic innovation for decades while the US had focused its jamming technology on gathering intelligence in areas such as the Middle, according to the publication.

Last year, Ukraine’s outgoing senior commander, Valery Zaluzhnyi, in an interview with The Economist, said Russia’s electronic warfare capability had given it an important edge.

In May, Defense News that the Pentagon is spending millions on developing new electronic warfare systems and technology to evade GPS jamming.

Despite Hollywood movies continuously showing the fan-mazing-ness of Western weapon tech/military and the same demeaning propaganda of ‘the Russian gas-tank nation’, the truth is that Russia alone have won the weapons race - by a huge margin. Add to that China’s / Iran’s drone capabilities and everyone can see that the Western Capitalist nightmare have lost their new worldwar, completely - even before they were 1/3 in. For anyone interested in how bad and archaic Nato/West military is, look up Andrei Martyanov (YT or smoothiex12.blogspot.com) or similar military experts…

OC Disappointing for the Liberals who thought they were masters of the universe and wanted a global war for continued ideological hegemony/dictatorship, but totally fortunate for every sane person on the planet. Bye bye Liberalism…

Don’t break an arm jerking yourself off. Russia’s MO is to block “illegal” comms. You know, dissenters, political opponents and what have you.

Go figure the authoritarian dipshit needs to spend taxes on R&D to oppress those poor Russians.

Good try making this a “win”.

Should worry more about the oppression in your own shithole country where militarized police is brutalizing students protesting genocide as we speak.
