Russia Jamming U.S. Drones over Syria
(NBC News) Courtney Kube - The Russian military has been jamming some U.S. military drones operating in the skies over Syria, seriously affecting American military operations, according to four U.S. officials. One official said the equipment developed by the Russian military is very sophisticated, proving effective even against some encrypted signals and anti-jamming receivers. The drones impacted so far are smaller surveillance aircraft, as opposed to the larger Predators and Reapers that can be armed.
