Spoofing..

 

Russian electronic warfare has created problems for some American-made precision weaponry in Ukraine, but Moscow is also showing its hand and telling the US what it needs solutions for to be ready for future fights.

Ukraine has employed US precision weapons, such as the HIMARS -fired Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems and air-launched Joint Direct Attack Munitions , throughout the war, but widespread Russian electronic warfare is regularly diminishing the effectiveness of these weapons.

Electronic warfare can be executed using cheap but effective technology.  These tactics are not used solely to foil precision-guided munitions . They can also be used to scramble the connection between an operator and a reconnaissance or strike drone.

We are being scammed by $200 billion Dollars weapon sent to the Ukraine...so far.

Too Far..

Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered to Congress on Friday a highly anticipated report on the Israeli military's operations in Gaza that accused Israeli forces of potentially violating international humanitarian law but did not formally find they had already done so, according to the document's key findings. 

The report states that there are allegations that Israel violated international humanitarian law during the period covered by the report,   

Nevertheless, given Israel's significant reliance on U.S.-made defense articles, it is reasonable to assess that defense articles…have been used by Israeli security forces since October 7 in instances inconsistent with its [international humanitarian law] obligations or with established best practices for mitigating civilian harm," the report adds.

Stimulus

The U.S. housing market is harboring the potential for unprecedented economic stimulus that wouldn’t require any federal spending, according to Meredith Whitney, the one-time “Oracle of Wall Street” who predicted the Great Financial Crisis

Such borrowing can be used for things like vacations, weddings, new cars, investments, medical bills, paying down debt, or starting a business. In other words, it’s more money that could power the economy.

Freddie Mac is best known for its role in buying first-time mortgages, pooling them together, and selling them to investors as mortgage-backed securities. This allows lenders to get those mortgages off their balance sheets, freeing up liquidity for more loans.

The IDF is shooting down a significant number of its own drones in the course of operations, The War Zone (TWZ) reported, citing a US Marine Corps official.

According to Marine Lt.-Col. Michael Pruden, the IDF destroyed 40% of its own uncrewed aerial systems (UAS.)


Pruden is head of the Marine Air Command and Control Integration Branch of the Air Combat Element Division within the service's Combat Development and Integration Command (CD&I).

"Something interesting that comes from Israel, 40 percent, of the UASs ... knocked out" by Israel are instances of "friendly fire," Pruden said during a talk at the annual Modern Day Marine exposition on Wednesday.


The IDF has also previously acknowledged accidental knockdowns of its drones.
