Short EW 🧵
Most people have missed how badly the loss of this Russian AF plane to Ukraine near Izium is.
The right wing tip had an electronic warfare self protection pod (EWSP) and it came down intact enough for a good technical analysis.

DFRM decodes as Digital Radio Frequency Memory devices. All state of the art EWSP pods use this technology.

A teaser from the webinar:
The key part of this webinar will be the discussion on why DRFM capability is needed to counter advanced radars. As threat radars become more sophisticated and use advanced discrimination techniques, the jamming signals for an effective EW system

...must also become more sophisticated and precise to be processed by modern radars as valid signals. The presentation will describe the how and why DRFM based jammers accomplish this."
