1/ #Russia claims modified #Mi8 helos are their new EW powerhouse #jammer. I don’t buy the hype, you shouldn’t either. Here’s why: thedrive.com/the-war-zone/t…
2/ If 2 #EW #jamming pods is all it takes to overwhelm the #S300 #S400, then the #DoD’s $$trillions in F35 and other #SEAD investments were based on damn near criminally incorrect intelligence. Yes, Intel may have gotten it a bit wrong, but not this much.
3/ Re-read the #S300 / #S400 capabilities #Russia marketed in their sales pitch for years. Either those claims are wrong or this capability is not accurate. Both cannot be true... but both can be a lie.
4/ I just can’t buy a ‘modern technology’ sales pitch from a nation that solves window fog like this. 
5/ A maneuverably limited #helicopter with radiating #jammers is a rare treat for home-on-jam missiles - an #S300 / #S400 capability. If #Mi8 #EW platforms are flying combat missions at 10k feet as claimed, they won’t be doing it for long.
