"Don’t panic, but Pentagon now thinks Russia can jam American air-to-air missiles"
"The problem is that many potential adversaries, such as the Chinese and the Russians, have developed
advanced digital radio frequency memory (DRFM) jammers. These jammers, which effectively memorize an incoming radar signal and repeat it back to the sender, seriously hamper the performance of friendly radars."
Worse, these
new jammers essentially blind the small radars found onboard air-to-air missiles like the Raytheon
AIM-120 AMRAAM, which is the primary long-range weapon for all U.S. and most allied fighter planes."
“Right now, the Defense Department—led by the Navy—is working to increase the range of the AIM-9X version of the Sidewinder by 60 percent to give the Pentagon’s fighter fleet
some sort of counter to the jamming problem,”
