US Navy Lives In Fear Of A Russian Electronic Warfare Device Called Khibiny

well this proves the Russians got the EMP armaments down, probably their other EMP devices work really well too.

He's right. No military or government, even if it's true, EVER admits demoralization, fear of an enemy, etc.

A good poker face is a crucial part of global politics.

Why don't you put your money where your mouth is, back up your bullshit and show us where the Navy ACTUALLY officially admitted this, rather than just hearsay.

The aircraft carrier is an obsolete, absolute coffin, sitting duck, and when s400 takes them out, it's OVER.

EXACTLY! 100%!

Nice to see someone else has some working brain cells.
No one in the USA military would ever use the term "completely demoralized"

It's just so ridiculous...it reeks of a steaming pile of propaganda pushed by Putin and the Russians.

A letter from one of the team members of the U.S.destroyer

“Donald Cook” after the sensational incident in the Black Sea!
My beloved Mary ! I'm sorry that I have not written to you for a week. I was taking a course of psychological rehabilitation at our base in Romania. I must tell you that a terrible thing has happened. And not just with me, but with the whole of our valiant crew of the destroyer "Donald Cook". Our destroyer armed with the best systems to defeat an enemy, there is no such aircraft, missiles or submarines, which we could not intercept. Our system "Aegis" can even shoot down ballistic missiles. Best sailors only can serve on this ship, who are brave and despise death, like buffalos of Arizona. So, my darling, when our "Donald Cook" entered the Black Sea to raise high the flag of freedom and democracy, our captain called us to the deck and said a speech, ‘Guys, our mission is of particular importance – we have to demonstrate fearlessness of America before unbelted Russian bear. You all know that the Russian took away half of the territory of a democratic Ukraine as Crimea and prepare to chop off its second half. It threatens our national interests, because we can not allow someone to chop off that we can chop off ourselves. The forces of freedom and democracy in Ukraine are still young and we have to show Russians, under which reliable protection these forces find themselves.

The Khibiny jammer is fairly new.

The Khibiny jammer is a high power jammer. KNIRTI Khibiny M Electronic Warfare Self Protection suite including the L175V jammer, an infrared MAWS system of undisclosed type, a threat warning and RF surveillance receiver of an unspecified type, and countermeasures dispensers.

That is, it is an electronic countermeasure system designed to jam phased array tracking systems so that they cannot lock on to targets. Simple physics tells us that it would take a huge amount of EMF (which the Khibiny doesn't do anyway) to knock out an entire ship's electrical systems, and that would take a HUGE amount of energy storage that could never be lifted by this aircraft.

Anyway, it's common knowledge that Khibiny was designed for the SU-35, not the SU-24 cited in this "article".

And "the State Department acknowledged". Really? Where is the link? This would be all over the news if State announced this. But if this event did happen as described, you can bet that nobody, especially State, would be making public acknowledgements.

What a load of crap, but there are still GLP suckers who apparently swallow it.

Game...Set...And match...USA down the drain...Bye bye (pussy cat waveing)...He He...Total bucket of piss for the USA...

Welcome to the 21st century USA...Tomato plants out...

Warship radar output: 6,000,000 watts

Su-24 APU power output: 25,000 watts

Which one is going to win?

sure if they would be in position of defending but there is no way russia can preform any major invasion.

Its unfortunate that the player pieces on one side of the board are play checkers while the other is playing Chess, because Checkmate is near from the checker player.

What is humorously on a light note, is that the game is still going to be drawn out, even though the games are of different rule sets. It makes no difference to a Master what game is being played on the board, even dice.

I think I the one sides Queen move out, and already the other player is falling for a Gambit.

There was a time when the navy werent such pussies

And that was written by an American sailor? Look at the English! What a joke.

Some other choice excerpts from the referenced link:

----

Three times we shouted "hip-hip hooray" and began to prepare to show Russians what awaits them if they raise their hand for the second half of Ukraine.

The next day, when our ship was on its way towards the Crimea, we found in the sky a flying Russian trough, which is called the Su-24.

We were following the Russian with our locator up to his approach to the zone of shooting, in order to cover it then. However, when he entered the damn zone, mysticism began.

Then the Russian became openly scoff at us. He made us twelve mock attacks, went on our locators with his belly, drowned the roar of the engine, and showed us all that at such a crappy trough only the shitty team can serve.

Such a shame we have not experienced ever in my life. Some of our guys were crying like children, others fought head on inactive devices, senior assistant drank a bottle of whiskey, yelling at the ship, ‘These freaking Russian "Khibiny" ( the Russian system of electronic warfare) , and the captain was green with anger.

Better we'll buy a small farm in Arizona, we will grow celery for sale and sing hymns in our church on Sundays. [And we all know that Arizona has the perfect climate for growing loads of celery.]

That was truly comical, written in truly badly translator English in cold war propaganda style. Thanks for posting...gave us a nice chuckle.

American technology,
Gifted to Commie Russians,
By Commie Democrat Traitor Americans.

Apply the output per square inch formula, my friend.

The Ruskies understand both non-nuclear EMP and bio-weaponry far better than us crazy Mericans.

which falls off as the square of the distance.

Well, when your ship goes dark and is buzzed 12 times by an Su-24, it might be a sign that something may have gone wrong.

Bullshit.
We invented it, and like every other weapon on the planet,
the American version is best.
We've been able to produce pulses of over 300,000v per squar meter, the first time we created EMP (by accident)
it created a field strenght of over 50,000 volts per meter.
The Russikis have never had anything they did not steal,
from the Bear bombers to Migs.
It would take millions of volyts per square meter to have any effect on shielded equipment, it would make the ships crew sick if it happened, and would destroy the plane
carrying it.
Which is why an EMP weapon is always carried by drone.
So, I call BULLSHIT.
SQUARED

Non nuclear EMP requires a conventional explosive as the source of chemical energy to convert into electromagnetic energy.

There was no mention of an explosion in any of the reports about this incident.

And if it was an EMP, the systems would not just turn back on afterwords, they would be destroyed.

Oh wait, they wouldn't, because ships as well as most military hardware are hardened agains EMPs.

go bak ta iraq when our military admot their aircraft were shot down by enemy fire even tho apparent they were keep up morale at home they are never gonna tell the truth.

the U.S. Military has been demoralized long before the Russkies showed up.

it was written by a Russian, tongue in cheek, pretty funny if you ask me. Had it been written by a 'murican it would have sounded something like this:

man das bullshit al we was like WHOOP and den all a sudden dayum dat shit was real do! en I was all like DAMN and my homies was like SHEEEEIT I'm ready to GTFO noImsayin?

That's a good point...

:jay:

It's not an EMP

To keep the US from getting too agressive. We think the US is only peaceful however other countries don't have the same high opinion of our motives.

Hand.

:putfinger:

This is what they probably used to destroy the rocket and the virgin space plane in retaliation for the Russian rocket that was mysteriously destroyed about 6 months back.My guess is that there wont be many launches from either side in the future.

Absolute BS Crap
