Russia has superior electronic warfare, which is why NATO drones, glide bombs aren't effective Archived Message

Meanwhile, Russia's own drones and glide bombs are hardened and palpably doing damage. NATO's ATGM Stingers and Javelins aren't comparable to the Russian Kornets and Atakas. No NATO helis dare operate to support mechanised infantry unlike the Russian Alligators and Havocs. No NATO jets either besides the Fencers launching the Storm Shadow/Scalp cruise missiles from a distance. Russia had to first take out the Soviet era S-300s, Buks before it could ramp up its air bombing campaign. Patriot and NASAMS aren't up to much. What has NATO got to deal with hypersonic missiles - now also stocked by China and Iran? US' Dark Eagle is still in development... Russia has guided rocket artillery in the shape of the Tornado in much larger numbers than HIMARS which did do damage until Russian air defence learnt to cope. Electronic warfare played a role there too. It would have been better to deal with the Ukr OG Nazis back in 2014 with far fewer deaths but Russia is where she's at now.
