Well Nortex, the article about Russian 'disarming' of western smart weapons opens the door for me to go back and follow up on an a statement I made that Russia is considered a 'pier' adversary (meaning peer) . At which I was roundly laughed at and mocked by the usual crowd. Even one saying, "You are the only one who calls Russia a peer" or something like that.
They then went off on me using pier instead of peer and it actually side tracked the real discussion with pseudo ad hominen attacks.
The reality is Russia is called a 'peer' adversary. I did not google that or pull that out of my back side, That is what I have been told.
And just for the ones who say I am lying here is a link to an article where that specifically talks about 'peer adversaries' and specifically in
electronic warfare:
https://www.airandspaceforces.com/looking-to-the-future-of-electromagnetic-attack-systems/In high-end conflict with peer adversaries, the U.S. Air Force faces sophisticated integrated air defense systems and advanced command and control networks. Defeating those systems will require advanced electromagnetic attack systems that can deny, degrade, and disrupt opposing forces."Peer-nation adversaries have more sophisticated anti-access area denial capabilitiesA2/ADwith kill chains or kill webs that are no longer stagnant," said Stephanie Fehling, director of electronic attack solutions at BAE Systems. "They're increasingly more complex and resilient. They're using a much broader range of the electromagnetic spectrum for their combat operations, and they're also quickly adapting commercial technologies for use in their operations."This is from our Air and Space forces by the way, I think that is pretty good source that confirms
'peer' adversaries. LOL
However, we must then define 'peer'. There are number of different aspects of warfare, and in most of them we have no 'peer', But we are not dominant all areas, and one of the areas (a very important area) we are not dominant is is cyber warfare and electronic warfare. This is agreed upon across the board. Even my Navy Seabee officer knows this.
The Russians military are superior to us in cyber warfare and possibly, electronic warfare. The Chinese (at least the cooperate sector) may be superior to us in cyber as well! They have hacked so much, as have the Russians.
My personal source told me that a cell phone emits infrared rays that the Russian's have the tracking capability to pin point with great accuracy from 400 meters out. That distance increases by a mile if the person actually uses it.
Our forces in Afghan were told not carry or use cell phones because of this However, the Russian have not given this tech to Iran so we pretty much ignored it there, without consequences. Well, Ukraine there are consequences. The Russian have superior capability in electronic warfare. and thus they are peer, And Ukraine is finding that out.
But are forever war stooges think that Russian are stupid Neanderthals. This is insane and dangerous thinking, I can only hope that they are NCO in the military that are either grunts or drive trucks or something, Keep them far away from any command and control situation.
"only one thing is important!"
