The Radar Interference Tracker (RIT) is a new tool created by Ollie Ballinger that allows anyone to search for and potentially locate active military radar systems anywhere on earth.

It turns out that the Sentinal-1 commercial synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signal frequency is interfered with by C-band radars like those used by Patriot, S-300P FLAP LID & successors, 5N62 SQUARE PAIR, in fact a good number of Russian acquisition and engagement radars. 3/
Two Sentinal-1 SAR-sat passes and you get an interference pattern "X" that marks the spot of a C-band emitter.

Also via Bellingcat:
Other military radars that operate on the same C-band frequency include naval radars such as the Japanese FCS-3, the Chinese Type-381 and the Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile system. All should be detectable when switched on and in view of Sentinel-1. 5/
The ability of non-state actors UAV's to play SEAD games by going after Patriot C-band emitters with this tool is also a threat not to be underestimated. 6/
There are two responses to this radar interference tool tracking, one operational and one technological.
The operational one needs WW2 style close range anti-drone defense of primary ADA like the 50 cal Maxon turret was shielding 40mm & 90 mm HAA from strafing fighters.
7/
Smart and/or drone combat experienced SAM operators have already are already doing this. Facebook posts show Ukrainians attaching DShKM and ZU-23-2 sections to S-300 and Buk M1 batteries.
8/
The other response is technological.
Putting on my 'old crow' cap, C-band ADA radars need to shift to using lower power wideband frequency hopping to push the peak power below the interference threshold of the satellites.
9/
The problem with that tech solution is higher radiated power is absolutely required for C-band radar anti-ballistic missile role.
This is why the operational combined arms solution will be used more often, but the tech solution still has to happen.

The issue of radar interference allowing your opponents geolocate your emitters is as old as radar.
The Allies chose UK Mark III Identification Friend or Foe over the USN's Mark IV because the latter interfered with German radars. It was true when the decision was made.

Unfortunately, this non-interference did not stay so for long.
When the RAF Bomber Command used its Mandrel jammers.
The Germans moved their Freya radar to higher frequencies that the Mark III IFF responded too. 12/
Per "British Intelligence in the Second World War" Volume 3, Part 1, the Luftwaffe exploited this radar interference such that it may have been the primary reason Bomber Command lost the Battle of Berlin during the Winter/spring of 1943-1944.

R.V. Jones in MOST SECRET WAR put it this way (see text photo captures):

Further on Jones wrote:
"...the Germans’ own (Enigma) reports 9 out of the 41 aircraft lost on 2nd/3rd December against Berlin had been shot down because of their use of I.F.F., 4 out of 24 lost on Leipzig on the following night and 6 out of 26 on Berlin on 16/17th December—

and these may have been due to one plotting station alone."
Similar tracking of US planes and ships was happening during the Kamikaze campaign in the Pacific because Japanese aerial radars also addressed the Mark III IFF.

Radar interference, as a tool to track enemy radars, is as old as radars.
But it's history lessons are seldom, if ever, taught. This is why 'Old Crows' say:
"It's what you think you know.
That isn't so.
Which kills you every time."
Yes, the head of the USSS really is gaslighting the heck out of the American public over her agency's incompetence, rather than resigning like she should.
Federal agencies, like Russian propagandists, use a "firehose of falsehoods" to confuse the...
It's nice to someone at the Economist finally got around to reading Nadin Brzezinski's July 17, 2022 article "Logistics Collapse" about the lack of Russian artillery barrel specialty steel
It was utterly simple beer math that Western Logistical Intelligence seems to have missed, just like it missed the lack of Russian artillery shell pallets & truck bed D-rings.
This is stuff so simple that a retired DCMA quality guy can do it. 3/
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion hiring objectives in the Federal Civil Service picks AGAINST professional merit.
That is, D.E.I. is not professional. It is a form of political spoils system.
There is a reason for the meme that DEI stands for "Didn't Earn It."

The USSS incompetently letting Trump get shot in the head, the failed COVID-19 mandatory vax jab & the disastrous Afghan pullout have destroyed the public's trust in the "Professional Federal Civil Service."
The videos of the USSS catastrophic failure during the assassination attempt on former President Trump are beyond control and are utterly toxic for public trust that the Federal government is fair and has institutional competency.
(Image H/T @Peoples_Pundit) 1/
A public mea culpa would have been the smart play for the USSS bureaucracy.
Instead we are getting the gaslighting that we always see from Feds that are engaged in bureaucratic group narcissism and the institutional failure that groupthink dictates.

The only reasonable explanation for the current director of the USSS not speaking out about her agency's failure in letting an assassin shoot Former Pres. Trump in the head is that she is busy lawyering up for the FBI investigation... 3/
