Russians use jamming to impair US communications equipment, navigation systems, and aircraft in Syria

The American military is now alleging that Russians are employing electronic warfare on American equipment in Syria. The problem, they say, is that these jamming attempts by the Russians jam communications and navigation and knock out key electrical components, risking major mistakes and confrontations. It’s the first time that Americans have had to contend with the issue in all of their experience waging bloody wars in the Middle East.
