US General: Russians Are Jamming Our Gunships, Knocking Down Our Comms in Syria
The US has experienced "aggressive" electronic warfare from its "adversaries" in Syria, a top US general said. While media pointed finger at Russia, it denied involvement, saying it has better things to do than harass US aircraft.
The claim was made Tuesday by the head of the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Army General Tony Thomas. The "daily" interference in Syria disrupts US military communications and hampers aircraft missions, the general told the US Geospatial Intelligence Foundation's 2018 GEOINT Symposium.
