EurAsian Times: Unusual Failure! F-35 Jets Operating In ‘Stealth Mode’ & Helping Ukraine ‘Failed’ To Identify Russia’s AD Systems 

US Air Force F-35A fighters detected unusual S-300 radar emissions that didn’t match with the existing database of the air defense system’s radar signature cataloged in the jets’ computers. 

This was when the stealth jets were silently gathering electronic intelligence (ELINT) data on Russian air defense radars by flying patrols along the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) eastern flank for the first three months of the war. 

A recent article EurAsian Times reported the experience of the 388th Fighter Wing and the 419th Fighter Wing, which were discreetly eavesdropping on Russian radar emissions. But they were surprised to find unknown peacetime frequencies from the S-300 that the pilots knew was the system, but the sophisticated computers aboard the fighters could not identify.

  2. The F-35 may have been in passive mode to avoid detection. The Russian AD may have been in passive mode to avoid detection. Distances involved is unknown. At least 3 unknowns, but good fear mongering WNU. You earned your silver shekels today.

  3. Doing the unexpected is routine in war. Of course the F-35 data collection along the border is building a better database.
