Nah. Just be legitimate. You can take my spot in that jump, though. If you're bored.

Asking the media to do it job is asking for what? WTF are you talking about? No wonder no one can stand you idiots!

The russians are overflying our ships right now, not 8 years ago. Trump told us how tough he was going to be, but he has done absolutely nothing

This has been going on for decades. They fuck with us, we fuck with them.

AEGIS Fail in Black SEA, Ruskies Burn Down USS Donald “Duck” | Veterans Today

Russian Sukhoi Su -24 with the newest jamming complex paralyzed in the Black Sea the most modern American combat management system “Aegis” installed on the destroyer “USS Donald Cook”. Pavel Zolotarev, Deputy Director, Institute of USA and Canada, shares details about this version which is being actively discussed in the Russian media and by bloggers.

US destroyer “Donald Cook” with cruise missiles “Tomahawk” entered the neutral waters of the Black Sea on April 10. The purpose was a demonstration of force and intimidation in connection with the position of Russia in Ukraine and Crimea. The appearance of American warships in these waters is in contradiction of the Montreux Convention about the nature and duration of stay in the Black Sea by the military ships of countries not washed by this sea.

In response, Russia sent an unarmed bomber Su- 24 to fly around the U.S. destroyer. However, experts say that this plane was equipped with the latest Russian electronic warfare complex. According to this version, “Aegis” spotted from afar the approaching aircraft, and sounded alarm. Everything went normally, American radars calculated the speed of the approaching target. And suddenly all the screens went blank. “Aegis” was not working any more, and the rockets could not get target information. Meanwhile, Su-24 flew over the deck of the destroyer, did battle turn and simulated missile attack on the target. Then it turned and repeated the maneuver. And did so 12 times.

Apparently, all efforts to revive the “Aegis” and provide target information for the defence failed. Russia’s reaction to military pressure from the United States was profoundly calm, feels the Russian political scientist Pavel Zolotarev:

The demonstration was original enough. A bomber without any weapons, but having onboard equipment for jamming enemy radar, worked against a destroyer equipped with “Aegis”, the most modern system of air and missile defence. But this system of mobile location, in this case the ship, has a significant drawback. That is, the target tracking capabilities.

They work well when there is a number of these ships which can coordinate with each other somehow. In this case there was just one destroyer. And, apparently, the algorithm of the radar in the “Aegis” system on the destroyer did not load under the influence of jamming by the Su-24. It was therefore not only a nervous reaction to the fact of flying around by the Russin bomber which was common practice during the Cold War.

The reaction of the Americans was due to the fact that most modern system, especially its informative or radar part, did not work adequately. Therefore, there was such a nervous reaction to the whole episode.

After the incident, the foreign media reported that “Donald Cook” was rushed into a port in Romania. There all the 27 members of the crew filed a letter of resignation. It seems that all 27 people have written that they are not going to risk their lives. This is indirectly confirmed by the Pentagon statement according to which the action demoralized the crew of the American ship.

What are the possible consequences of the incident provoked by the U.S. in the Black Sea? Pavel Zolotarev forecasts:

I think that Americans are somehow going to reflect on improving the system “Aegis”. This is a purely military aspect. In political terms, there is hardly any likelihood of demonstrative steps by either side. That is enough. Meanwhile, for Americans it is a very unpleasant moment. In general, the missile defence system which they deploy involves huge expenditures.

They have to prove each time that it is necessary to allocate funds from the budget. At the same time, the ground component of the ABM was tested in ideal conditions and showed a low efficiency. This fact is concealed by the Pentagon. The most modern component, the sea-based system “Aegis” also showed its shortcomings in the present case.

The system with which the Russian Su-24 shocked the American destroyer “Donald Cook” has the code name “Khibiny”. This is the name of the mountain range on the Kola Peninsula in the Arctic Circle. “Khibiny” is the newest complex for radioelectronic jamming of the enemy. They will be installed on all the advanced Russian planes .

Recently the complex has undergone regular testing exercises on the ground in Buryatia. Apparently, the tests which were conducted under conditions as close to real as possible, were successful.

The USS Donald Cook meets Sukhoi SU 24 | The Huffington Post

The article is so full of inaccurate information that it is simply laughable.

I was a fire control radar officer on a guided missile cruiser and a graduate of the Navy Missile School and the Surface Warfare Tactical Action Officer course. Before that I was an electronics technician trained in operation and maintenance of radar systems. The person who wrote the article knows NOTHING about how those systems operate.

I say again: Nothing!

Also, I was in the Black Sea on my guided missile cruiser in February 1982 when Yuri Andropov died, At that time, we were one of the few ships ever to conduct operations in the Black Sea because it was more like a Russian lake. What exactly we were doing there is still secret.

The Navy has continued to operate in the Black Sea since that time. The article is pure hyperbole mixed with a lot of exaggeration and misinformation.

As for the ships being buzzed by the Russians, it was an almost daily occurrence to any ship within range of their land bases or their aircraft carrier.
 
No one cares, now. The media was conveniently asleep the last 8 years. They've decided to start doing their jobs again. God bless 'em.
The russians are overflying our ships right now, not 8 years ago. Trump told us how tough he was going to be, but he has done absolutely nothing

Look doofus, Google has 236,000 links, and this just happened again the other day. You are delusional, Russia has an anti radar weapon that shuts renders the Aegis system useless. This weapon can not be tested without a flyover, this is old news, you are way behind the learning curve, which is why you voted for a loser CBS news covered it as well moron.

I say again: Nothing!

Also, I was in the Black Sea on my guided missile cruiser in February 1982 when Yuri Andropov died, At that time, we were one of the few ships ever to conduct operations in the Black Sea because it was more like a Russian lake. What exactly we were doing there is still secret.

The Navy has continued to operate in the Black Sea since that time. The article is pure hyperbole mixed with a lot of exaggeration and misinformation.

As for the ships being buzzed by the Russians, it was an almost daily occurrence to any ship within range of their land bases or their aircraft carrier.

Look doofus, Google has 236,000 links, and this just happened again the other day. You are delusional, Russia has an anti radar weapon that shuts renders the Aegis system useless. This weapon can not be tested without a flyover, this is old news, you are way behind the learning curve, which is why you voted for a loser CBS news covered it as well moron.

Try again dickhead

USS Donald Cook buzzed again by Russian jets in Baltic




You didn't provide any more documentation than that bullshit you posted earlier.

The entire article is a farce. The wording speak of someone who has no fucking clue as to what the ship does, is capable of and how it is armed.

Sailors don't "request to be relieved " of duty. That is complete horseshit!

It is FAKE NEWS!

The AEGIS does not have 4 radars. It has one. It is a phased array and "steers" the radar beams. The other "radars" are fire control illumination radars and are used for missile guidance in the terminal phase of flight.

I have probably forgotten more on this topic than any of you inexperienced landlubbers will ever know, especially the dipshits who wrote that horrible imitation of journalism.

Try this web page:

Lies: the crew of the US destroyer ship got scared by the Russian fighter aircraft

Or how about this one about another incident:
