The Woes Of The Great Russian Army Continue Part Two
The five-day conflict between the Russian army and Georgia last month exposed serious Russian weaknesses in the field of radio-electronic warfare.It turns out that Russian electronic countermeasures systems are unable to jam and suppress enemy surface-to-air missiles and reconnaissance systems, radars and UHV communications and troop-control networks. This is rather disturbing, especially as the Georgian army lacked modern systems. As a result, the 58th Army sustained unnecessary casualties and also lost more combat equipment than it should have. ,,, Posted by: 3dc 2008-09-16 |
