You speak very confidently but I would like a technical discussion of the points I raised. Even in the link you posted, there is the following: "The U.S. is not getting the message, however, because no one in the U.S. military believes Russia is actually capable of jamming advanced drones and missiles, according to Valeriano."

How do you defeat a drone swarm using frequency agile communications over narrow beams with cheap equipment, such that it's asymmetric in cost?




Well, seems like the jury is still out in many quarters, but there is a secret Cold War going on around electromagnetic jamming tech, and the Russians have the lead:

Of course they'll _say_ they "don't believe" it works. Yet they ceased operations in the region for a few days when Russia turned this gear on. It's propaganda, of course it works. Not as good as the other side claims (that too is propaganda), but well enough to fuck shit up.
