Israel And Russia Prepare To Engage In Electronic Warfare Over Syria

For the foreseeable future, any conflict between Russia and Israel will be minimized so as to avoid outright war. This means both sides will likely engage in indirect forms of combat like electronic warfare, as Infowars observes:

“‘Israel has turned a blind eye to repeated Russian air strikes in the last few days against rebel positions in the southern Syrian town of Deraa and Quneitra opposite IDF Golan positions,’ the Israeli intelligence source DEBKAfile reports today.

DEBKAfile believes it is unlikely Russia would allow the Israelis to enter their ‘anti-access/area denial bubble’ inside Syria and the Israelis may have used ‘electronic warfare measures to jam the tracking systems installed in Russian spy planes and air defense missile systems in Syria.'”

“According to DEBKAfile the Russians cannot match the jamming technology used by Israel.

Sputnik, however, claims Russia’s technology, based on the KRET Richag-AV system, has ‘no global equivalent.’ The “electronic countermeasures system is designed to jam radar, sonar and other detection systems in the aims of defending aircraft, helicopters, drones, ground and naval forces against air-to-air and surface-to-air defense systems within a radius of several hundred kilometers.”

It is not clear if this technology was used near the Lebanon-Syria border when Israel attacked Hezbollah.

The use of electronic countermeasure systems in the expanding war increases the probability of blind encounters between Russia, Israel and possibly the United States.”

We can only hope that the leaders of both Israel and Russia are not mad enough to start the next world war.
