Russia has claimed it can disable the entire US Navy in one fell swoop using powerful electronic signal jamming.

A news report from the country – where the media is essentially controlled by the state – said the technology could render planes, ships and missiles useless.

The newsreader says: “Today, our Russian Electronic Warfare (REW) troops can detect and neutralise any target from a ship’s system and a radar, to a satellite.”

Now where have I heard claims like this before by the Russians? Oh yeah, when they were bragging about their vaunted anti-aircraft defense systems that would be able to keep American planes and missiles from penetrating. Twice, in Syria, this system has failed miserably. They brag a lot, but do not have the results to back up their boasts.

Also they are building a giant robot.

The Russians have some very bright people but a horribly dysfunctional culture.  Alcohol and drug abuse are major problems.  Also, their economy is about the size of Texas economy. 

Certainly a threat but it pays to keep things in perspective.

Agreed.

The stealth features of modern American fighters/bombers were originally thought up by a Russian back in the Soviet era. They just did not have the means of implementing it and dropped the idea. DARPA picked up on it and did a lot of research and got results. They can be a threat, but not the major threat to the US. I consider China a much bigger threat to us than Russia
