        Well to locate the target you kinda need a satellite then you have to pre program HARMS to its destination due ukies are launching them from mig-29 and su-27 which are old soviet junk but yhe it whould be promptly get blown up

        the russians just turn the radars off when the HARM is coming in. what they actually need are loitering ARM's that will wait for the radar to come back online before attacking. even if it never hits anything, cruising around in the sky and waiting for a radar forces the operators to keep the radar turned off during that time, giving the other side a period of time where they can attack without any radars lighting them up

            Real talk?

            If its a radar designed to track aircraft it'll probably be able to track missiles as well. The HARM will appear as a target that splits from a preexisting contact (or appears out of nowhere in the case of a low altitude launch), climbs maybe 20-30k ft, and reaches Mach 3 if it's going high altitude and max range. It will be vectored directly towards your radar. Not too difficult to spot.

            If it's an early warning radar or something the radar crew will need to be told to turn it off. Generally any conflict in which HARMs are used ends up in the complete destruction of any IADS or communication nets are brought up specifically to relay this info.

            Otherwise there are other signs you could look for. One would be an aircraft, for no apparent reason, NOT using jamming and flying at a slight angle. This aircraft could be attempting to collect your emissions to triangulate you. (Although I think Growlers and the like can jam while collecting). Another would be a flight out of a package randomly vectoring off towards your radar, or a flight that very obviously isn't doing a sweep/escorting mission coming ahead of a package (so for instance one that ignores enemy aircraft while another is actively hunting them down, but is far ahead of the package anyway).

            Then there's ELINT techniques you can use. Obviously picking up the type of jamming you'd expect from a EW aircraft followed by a few radar contacts doing the above behavior would be 100% reason to turn off your radar. Or picking up a single Super Hornet's radar in an area that only operates those aircraft in packages, or alone (Growlers).

            You can also listen to enemy radio traffic, even if it's encrypted. A sudden, massive increase in traffic along with jamming? A few early warning contacts? Yep, turn off your radar once they're within ~60 miles.

                Because anything newer than the AGM-78 from the late 60s has a memory circuit that remembers the last known location of the emission source you're targeting, and either loiters in the area until you turn your radar back on, or it uses it's terminal radar seeker to find the radar once in the area of last known emission. Like I said: it's not 1960, and this isn't something that's a secret.

                It will, since the 1960, like I have said. Even older ones work if they get you to turn your radar off, though. The point is to disrupt, deny, degrade. If they do any of those three, they have done their job. But, anything newer than 1960s anti-radiation missiles will still find you.

                Turning the radar off works, kinda, if you're up against AGM-88As, Bs or Cs. They didn't have a second sensor to pick up your radar if you stopped emitting, so they'd just memorize the targeting vector they were going for previously and continue to that point.

                There are modes you can set the HARM into that let it elect to choose other targets, basically telling it to go after other types of radar if it's target isn't emitting. So it might go after the early warning radar in a SA-5 SAM site instead of the fire control radar, if the fire control radar has been turned off. You can also tell it to go into a deliberately high trajectory and then fly on a path that gives it maximum time in the air, which is what the other anon is describing as loitering.

                As for why I'm calling him a homosexual for using the term "loitering", there are other munitions that actually do fricking loiter. Israel has made a couple that will fly around and vector back in IIRC (although I'm unsure from memory if they're dedicated ARMs or just missiles that can be shot at radars, still though that's the conventional use of the word "loiter"), and the UK made a type that would deploy a parachute and wait for the emitter to turn back on.

                You're genuinely autistic anon, surely. I'm not going to delve into the deep of the internet in the efforts to try to find someone who has calculated the /EXACT/ accuracy of the HARM's seeker.

                For anyone who isn't this homosexual, a seeker doing passive guidance on a target is going to be accurate /over time/, but isn't necessarily going to be accurate /at any given instance/. The HARM might have an initial error in position of several hundred feet, which it will narrow down in the process of, you know, flying towards the goddamn target. The INS "lost lock" feature is only supposed to be used to keep the HARM flying in the direction of the emitter so that when it lights back up it will be in a good position to guide on it, not to fly into the fricking thing. Jesus christ.

                He'll now complain that I'm not giving any sources or whatever but it's the truth, the sort of sensor the HARM has is physically not capable of tracking a target down to the accuracy required to kill it with the HARM's warhead.

                >This led to the development of more advanced ARMs such as the AGM-78 Standard ARM, AGM-122 Sidearm, and AGM-88 HARM missiles, which have inertial guidance systems (INS) built-in. This allows them to remember the radar's direction if it is turned off and continue to fly towards it. ARMs are less likely to hit the radar if the radar is turned off shortly after the missile is launched, as the longer the radar is off (and assuming it never turns back on), the more error is introduced into the missile's course. The ALARM even has an added loiter mode, with a built-in parachute, enabling it to descend slowly until the radar activates, whereupon the rocket motor will re-ignite. Even a temporary shut down of the enemy's missile guidance radar can be of a great advantage to friendly aircraft during battle.

                I always wondered how that works. It´s not like you can just use a camera sensor or something similar for radio waves. You would need to have some kind of antenna, two actually, with a certain distance to each other, or even simple "more to the left / more to the right" infos may not be gained. Radio waves are way more wave-like then something like thermal signals.

                Radio direction finding, anon. With one ELINT station you can pick up the rough bearing of a transmission, with several you can triangulate it. There are (or were, I don't know if they're still alive now) Russian units dedicated to listening for cell phone traffic, radio traffic, etc and giving estimated locations to artillery units.

                Thanks, I see now what you mean. Your claim that russians have this isn´t even outrages. That sounds like tech from the late 80s. Don´t know why other anons are even trying to dispute that.

                That triangulation through distance measurement is what I meant with my other question. Let´s say you know your enemy is in front of you. Know you need only a two antennas to get his location. The Problem is: the closer those antennas are to each other, the smaller the difference in distance to the target. If the distance is just the diameter of a rocket, it may be difficult to even say in which direction is hot or cold. Adding more antennas won´t solve that problem, since they are all so close. How do these seekers of a harm rocket work then? Do they only find with extremely high frequency emitters, whose signals behave almost like light (e.g. phased array radars)? Can they even search for emitters in the "lower" frequency ranges?

                EW suites on a single fighter can triangulate an emission source. No need for ten thousand antennae.

                Yeah, like i said, you only need two. They actually use a few more on a fighter jet. The widest distance between two antennas will be the wing spread. Since the diameter of a missile is small fraction of that, the error of the distance and angle measurement will be a multiple of that (by physical law). Missiles often use cheaper sensors too.
                That is the reason for my question. How do those seeker systems actually work? How do they achieve any satisfying precision? You can´t have them miss by a few hundred yards.

                I know how sensor fusion works. Since I understand where you're coming from I'm not going to hit you with the Serb HARM argument.

                To elaborate on this anon's point: you need to also account for the enemy having persistent ELINT platforms in the air, and the ability to share information quickly. Within perhaps a few tens of seconds to minutes of you emitting, the enemy can get a location of your radar that's accurate to within a few thousand ft. At worst. This may not be enough to kill your radar with a bomb or something but it will be enough to queue endless numbers of HARMs onto your position (a common technique is launching them at suspected enemy positions every few minutes, so that there's always a HARM in the air ready for when you turn your radar back on). If they really refine your position, or worse get another type of sensor onto it (VHF/UHF antenna are really large on radar, who the frick knew???) you'll have SDBs for fricking days.

                The worst part is that the US doesn't even need planes to do it. The Americans have satellites in orbit that do ELINT via triangulation. They've had this for decades.

                There's a couple of ways to combat this. The best way is obviously to disable these platforms from the beginning. Doable with planes, very difficult with satellites. The second is to jam them, endlessly. This has the issue of degrading your own systems. The third is to continuously move your radars around. This works (the Serbians did it with SA-6s and associated equipment), but the enemy still wins in a way because you now have to spend a lot of effort (and downtime!) to move your planes around. The fourth is to get a competent air force and never have to worry about an enemy having endless time to SEAD/DEAD you, which basically only China is seriously trying to achieve.

                Because anything newer than the AGM-78 from the late 60s has a memory circuit that remembers the last known location of the emission source you're targeting, and either loiters in the area until you turn your radar back on, or it uses it's terminal radar seeker to find the radar once in the area of last known emission. Like I said: it's not 1960, and this isn't something that's a secret.

                It has nothing to do with sensor fusion.

    Because they have already lost some of their most advanced EW platforms that are in multiple laboratories being investigated since march. They cannot lose many more because there were not that many to begin with and also there are likely countermeasures in the pipeline ready to being fielded.
    One interesting question would be how hard it is to modify HAARMs to go right after those things.
    Also, these systems are not meant to jam small drones. Risking them for that would be stupid. Jamming drones is not very hard, especially those cheap commercial grade ones. We do not know whether/how Russia is doing it to what level of success and Ukraine will never tell us for obvious reasons.

      They definitely do, Wagner don't.
      The regular army has EWAR brigades which are very good, just not so many of them and they're incredibly vulnerable on the battlefield.

      Passive EWAR, snooping, is safe and effective, locating enemies by cell phones etc is doable and both sides are doing it but Russia is better at it. It's a problem.

      Active EWAR, jamming and spoofing are very dangerous, Russia is good at this too but only in the army, not Wagner (and maybe not FSB?). This is super dangerous though because you can't hide while jamming, everyone with an antenna can easily find your position and with just two antennas, probably doesn't even need a spotter to drop artillery on you.

      Their juiciest ew equipment were either blown up or towed away at the early phase of the war.
      Maybe they have a few still intact, but i guess they are reserved for the paranoid putin's defense
      What is left is second grade jamming.
      There are drone vuds where jamming is noticeable, so I would think they use some here and there but nothing powerful or at least many enough to be worthy. Also these older shits just cant jam fire and forget things which are used even more as time passes

      >Maybe they have a few still intact, but i guess they are reserved for the paranoid putin's defense

        You can, with a bit of effort, string out a cable and jam from a bit of a distance. It depends on the type of jamming you're doing, the power required and any antennas you're using.

        Like jamming an omnidirectional VHF receiver that is at 10 watts of power could be done with like 100 watts of power and a directional dish. That's doable with a fairly long transmission line, long enough for your jamming vehicle to sit in cover.

        As for the really high power ones, yeah frick no those are bomb magnets.

      The EWAR units are definitely fricking with drones though, both sides are losing drones constantly, the figure I saw quoted recently was an average of three sorties per drone before they're downed, either destroyed, hijacked or just lost.

      Actual military drones can do frequency hopping on non-unlicensed bands so using jammers around them isn't too much of a problem. Doing barrage jamming against a bunch of frequencies at once is a very good way to get a battery of guns doing FFE on you.

      As for Russian EW capabilities, nah it was pretty good at the start of the war and close to the Russian border it's still pretty dangerous. The real hype about them was that they had a worked out EW architecture, with integration into combat units, well before NATO did. The memes about "turning on your phone results in 5 text messages from Putin asking you to pls stop killing donbas children then artillery strikes" were, and to a degree are still true. They legitimately do have direction finding wired straight into their artillery kill chain, it's fricking terrifying.

      That being said I believe the US has done a lot of work on this. If anything the experience in Ukraine will give them a cookbook of ways to work around Russian EW.

      Well to locate the target you kinda need a satellite then you have to pre program HARMS to its destination due ukies are launching them from mig-29 and su-27 which are old soviet junk but yhe it whould be promptly get blown up

      Nah with a few signals intercept stations you can triangulate the location close enough to lob a HARM at it. The HARM has a seeker on it, remember? You just need to be within a few km of the emitter and it'll guide in.

                If "recent" 8 year old sources don't count read up on Chechnya - they've been doing it since they whacked Dudayev.
                Is it as expensive and cutting edge as what's made in Maryland? lmao no
                Can it absolutely frick up territorial defense units with poor training and discipline? no shit

                You weren't here back then. You shouldn't be here now.

                Real talk?

                If its a radar designed to track aircraft it'll probably be able to track missiles as well. The HARM will appear as a target that splits from a preexisting contact (or appears out of nowhere in the case of a low altitude launch), climbs maybe 20-30k ft, and reaches Mach 3 if it's going high altitude and max range. It will be vectored directly towards your radar. Not too difficult to spot.

                If it's an early warning radar or something the radar crew will need to be told to turn it off. Generally any conflict in which HARMs are used ends up in the complete destruction of any IADS or communication nets are brought up specifically to relay this info.

                Otherwise there are other signs you could look for. One would be an aircraft, for no apparent reason, NOT using jamming and flying at a slight angle. This aircraft could be attempting to collect your emissions to triangulate you. (Although I think Growlers and the like can jam while collecting). Another would be a flight out of a package randomly vectoring off towards your radar, or a flight that very obviously isn't doing a sweep/escorting mission coming ahead of a package (so for instance one that ignores enemy aircraft while another is actively hunting them down, but is far ahead of the package anyway).

                Then there's ELINT techniques you can use. Obviously picking up the type of jamming you'd expect from a EW aircraft followed by a few radar contacts doing the above behavior would be 100% reason to turn off your radar. Or picking up a single Super Hornet's radar in an area that only operates those aircraft in packages, or alone (Growlers).

                You can also listen to enemy radio traffic, even if it's encrypted. A sudden, massive increase in traffic along with jamming? A few early warning contacts? Yep, turn off your radar once they're within ~60 miles.

                Partial BUK manuals going around after the Incident only distinguished 3 categories:
                > it's slow, probably civilian
                > it's fast, probably military (or a Boeing 777 but what would one be doing near RU air defense??)
                > it's very fast, a missile is seconds away from fricking you up
                Shit's basic analog technology with a university student doing his mandatory military training serving as the computer. No IFF no Hollywood special effects just the bare minimum to complete its mission.
                BUK's kind of an extreme case since it's supposed to cover the front line. Maybe newer stuff further in the back is more advanced but the way Ukraine accidentally an Israeli Tupolev or Iran's self-own back when US was saber rattling or whatever that recent Engels shootdown was... nah.

                Let me clarify: what you're doing isn't helping the cause.
                Shitting up signal-to-noise of Russia-aligned corners of Twitter with forced frog->doge fren->fella memes is funny. Looking for vatniks on /k/ is moronic, outs you as an outsider, and pisses off people who were here before the shill brigades and who's political opinions are probably formed by which shills are more annoying.

                Case in point this thread could've been about ISM band jammers off AliExpress. They're cheap, they're portable, they frick up drone video feeds real good. Plus the built in lipo doubles as an incendiary IED. I've seen one (1) photo of these in use.
                Wassup? Are DJI drones just too high up?

        What do you mean by "direction finding"?

        >The HARM has a seeker on it, remember?
        I always wondered how that works. It´s not like you can just use a camera sensor or something similar for radio waves. You would need to have some kind of antenna, two actually, with a certain distance to each other, or even simple "more to the left / more to the right" infos may not be gained. Radio waves are way more wave-like then something like thermal signals.

    They either
    >don't work
    >don't have any to spare
    >it will screw them over also
    So its either a procurement issue or an issue of accidentally screwing over your own stuff in exchange for the other side to not have any drones. Their EW equipment is not selective.

    Drones ARE getting jammed (by both sides). The problem is you basically have to be the radio equivalent of loudBlack person.wav, which is also interferes with your shit if you're a vatnik, so you use such tools judiciously.

    Russia has also lost a number of jamming platforms to superior allied intelligence and just general frick-ups like poor perimeter control and cowardly soldiers. This includes their ostensibly most-advanced platforms, too.

    Russia can not control their front yard. They can not contrll their porch. They are fightng at the very doormat after almost one year. With everything except their questionable 'nuclear power'.
    Remember orcs...there are no wunderwaffen. And this time, there is no ally attacking from eslewhere. I smell blood.
