How can russia possibly counter this? The MALD-J is a revolution in air warfare.
The US and russia has been in a decades long race between stealth and more sophisticated radras only for the US to do a 180 and increase radar signatures.
Fitted with jammers, it makes Home on Jam obsolete and the russian approach with massive expensive missiles unfeasible.
What prevents the US from doing victory laps above Kaliningrad and St.Petersburg in a potential conflict, having filled russian radar scopes with hundreds identical and jamming targets?
How can vatniks even sleep at night knowing this?

The Russians aren't worried much about it. Taking into account that they were able to peacefully take back Crimea and how easy it was to jam the Donald Cuck, they see the MALD-J as a propaganda piece and nothing else. Probably it will explode when it enters Moskva-1 range.

Personally, I don't think its all that good. It's a meh, until it gets battle tested. And I hope against something more than just a goat's shack that fires Chinese bullets.

Just like every weapon in USAF arsenal, MALD appears incredibly effective mean to intimidate north koreans and sandpeople stuck between 1950s and stone age, but turns into a silly propaganda gimmick against any nation modern IADS.
You can load B-52 with those like a Christmas tree, and it still would be worthless when S-400 with 92N6E turns on radar horizon, networked with Tamara SIGINT and Pantsir/Tunguska/Tor-1M/Gurza thermals and IRS trasmitting true nature of missile into SAM's command & control.
No matter whan means of jamming MALD-J can possess, the fuselage diameter can't allow you to equip missile with something as powerful as AN/APG-81 able to deceive Russian or Chinese radar, and RJs are too few and valuable to even approach contested airspace.

>>29866624
Despite all the bullshit you wrote you still admit that russian has to wait until the targets are at burnthrough and IR range both which is to allow the enemy to get right on top of you more or less. That would put all those fancy vatnik toys well within HARM and JSOW-ER range.

It's okay to deploy weapons specifically aimed at towelheads stuck in the middle of the last century. It's not like US air "force" was ever meant or able to defeat anything better than that anyway.
>>
>>29866660
I'm sorry excessive amounts of lard mess with your brain functionality so hard. What do I need to repeat slower for you to comprehend, the range of modern SAMs or that passive imaging systems networked with S-400 support it in target acquisition?

Panstir-1S has an optic-electronic module able to detect ALCM missile 14km's away. Engine of AGM-86 generates thrust of ~300kg and sends larger infrared signature than MALD-J or AGM-158, which in their turn send twice as lesser signature than cruise missiles. Consequently, relying on optic systems to id incoming munition would be more fast and simple than analyzing the radar.

Similarly, it's more or less the same story Taurus, Storm Shadow, JSOW, HARM and upcoming gimmicks like CHAMP. Every boondoggle Raytheon and others will syphon Pentagon funding in coming decades already has existing countermeasures and soultion in a rulebook.

Fair point. S1 can track and engage multiple targets simultaneously but has decreasing chance to intercept all of them the closer they get. Nonetheless, none of this would matter after initial engagement. For one, the MALD has a lesser weight, speed, etc., so IADS database would instantly memorize the difference between bait and real deal further on. No plan survives first contact with the enemy anyway

That's exactly the fucking point you krokodil ghoul. The only way to distinguish a MALD fro a real target is to shamble your drunken ass away from the radar screen and have a look.
The US can sling SDbs at you before you can get a missile off, that's how badly the MALD-J degrades russian IADS.

And the assets to "have a looK" exist and are independent of the radar and missile battery, dipshit.

It change nothing about the US getting BTFO long before getting a SDB off, any SDB that gets off getting intercepted anyway and the US planes dying. Deal with it, burgerboo.
>>
>>29866879
>weight
How are you gonna measure that in flight.
Furthermore, the MALD uses active signature augmentation, as well as jammer which means that the radar signature can be altered between each decoy meating there is ltitle to be learne by saving past signatures. Couple that with jamming in the J version and you'd more or less have to establish visual contact to tell if it's a decoy.

Missile speed and its impact on decoy's velocity. IADS database compares incoming targets with known flight algorithms of cruise missiles, recognizes the difference and chooses to ignore the bait thus saving munition for actual missiles. So yeah, the entire MALD program is rendered obsolete upon first engagement with integrated AD network.

As for MALD jamming capabilities, we've covered it already haven't we? Fuselage capacity limits the size of jamming pod powerful enough to radiate sufficient signal. To fool anything more sophisticated than S-75 you'd need a dedicated jammer. Write an e-mail to any of the Old Crows pilots and ask their standard procedure for operating in a contested airspace with saturated multipurpose AD systems spread here and there somewhere across the night abyss below. Their definite answer would be to stay the fuck away from there.

All it does is duplicates the radar signature. RTP-86 "Tamara" knows most of frequencies and radio channels in NATO's Link-16 and JTDS to tell a decoy from a fighter jet. So no, it can't mimic the aircraft in any meaningful way. At best, it can pass as JASSM until it reaches IR range, and that's where Pantsyr and Tunguska are entirely capable to intercept all incoming subsonic munition.

You would have to be Chinese-tier shilling to think satellites provide sufficient targeting information.

Well that's pretty fucking hilarious considering that 40H6 gives S-400 a range of 400km against actually aerodynamically maneuvering targets, not just ballistic ones. "Tactically aggressive" US has jack shit that could compare to that, the Patriot is a fucking joke.

Russia has also the most advanced anti-ship missiles that are capable of supersonic sea-skimming flight, while the US still relies on massed salvos of subsonic missiles.

Russia has also completed Bulava ICBM test launches and this missile has warheads capable of maneuvering to counter any anti-missile defenses while the US relies on outdated garbage like Tridents for their nuclear capability. And no, none of those kinetic hit-to-kill SM interceptors are capable of hitting a maneuvering target, because they're supposed to work against purely ballistic threats.

Russia has recently conducted a flight test of a revolutionary hypersonic glider capable of delivering nuclear or conventional warheads through any existing missile shields.

And then some obese homunculus on taiwanese cave-painting forum tells he likes it aggressive in a thread about gimmick subsonic decoys. Toppity kek

Care to take a stab at how many you'll need to cover the oceans and bring the system to operational status?
Given that it took like 20 GPS satellites in geostationary orbit to get that system working, you'd need at least a dozen Lotos-S more to get even a partial cover over the oceans. Placing a satellite gives you woefully little area coverage compared to geostationary orbit.

And what if the carrier happens to not be under the orbit of your guiding satellite? Which is like 98% of the ocean? Or during the time when the satellite is below the horizon of the carrier, which is like 95% of the time?
And this all takes place hoping that the carrier is not aware of the satellite and steers clear of its orbit. Mind you that NASA is tracking space debries down to the size of a few centimeters for cicilian purposes, a satellite wont sneak past unnoticed.
Unless you have dozens up there ready to fill the gaps, the system can only work under extremely specific circumstances and requiring a willing target.
I have a feeling that the carrier won't play along so nicely.
Unless russia gets more than twenty up there, the US won't even bother to pretend that they are concerned.

Another thing to remember, these satellites we're talking about are in such low orbit that they had to be designed with nuclear reactors since solar panels induced too much atmospheric drag.
They are orbiting extremely low, well within SM-3 range of the Arleigh Burkes that tend to tag along with the carriers.
If there is a shooting war I have a feeling that any guidance satellites would be a prime target.

Russians have yet to answer how they can distinguish a MALD from a cruise missile because they've both exactly the same shape and maneuverability. At worst it looks like a cruise missile and at best it looks like an F-16 so Russians are basically fucked either way. And using IR as confirmation is worthless because of its short range. If the US air force is that close to your ground assets, then you already lost the air game.

A MALD-J is so small and cant provide enough power for its jamming capabilities. Against an AESA radar from a SAM system, or from a warship, the MALD-Js are useless. Hell, even Super-Hornets with NGJs are useless.

Power is the key, mate. A warship with a combined gas and gas turbine providing 28 Megawatt to its radars and weapon systems will always beat the fuck out of a few small jammer drones that arent even so revolutionary in their concept.

America can try.

Chances are, if burgerfats attempt an EW-fight against the 052D, their Superbugs and MALDs are simply going to fall from the skies.

The huge AESA panels (not obsolete PESA as used by the US) of the Dragon Eye-A radar will pretty much burn through all EW/Jamming attempts of the US and fry both the electronics and the US pilots in their seats. These radar-panels have 32 Megawatts of power behind them. Using a pencil beam, they will transmit so much EM radiation that they could selectively cook the fat-blubber in the bellies of US pilots.

All you need to overcome the radar return echo which is fucking small as shit at ranges and almost undetectable from stealth vehicles. If your jammer can overpower the echo bouncing off the skin of your aircraft then your jamming is effective. Since the MALD is tiny the radars will have a hard time to know what the fuck they are looking at until it'S really close.
The MALD-J also has the ability to boost the echo itself making itself look larger than it really is, that is the decoy part. Combine stealth with jamming and and signature augmentation and vatniks will scratch their heads as SDBs rek their radars and SAM installations.

Russians and Chinese have countermeasures against this. After all, they use drones designed just as the MALD-J and also equipped with scalable radar return as target practize.

And nothing is preventing the Russians to just fire a nuclear tipped SAM into the MALD-J swarm and take them all out, along with the carrier.

The US has been building decoys since the Quail using passive radar enhancing devices such as luneburg lenses.
Unlike russian and chinkshit drones, the MALD-J ACTIVLY alters its signature by enhancing the return echo with transmitters of its own, not like the chinks do and stuff extra aluminum foil in their target drones on the ground.
Combine this with jammers and neither chink nor vatnik will know what the fuck.

Let's not pretend that DoD is bored shitless bombing goatfuckers in caves.
Building stronger mine resistance into vehicles and gearing soldiers for yet another Operation Useless Dirt got very stale very quickly.
Building fancy electronic gadgets to combat whatever potemkin device russia dreams up is mighty fun however.
Despite they know russians don't they pretend that russia know what they are doing and a whole new world of ways to spend tax money and excite the engineers open up.
New tanks, new missiles, EW race, stealth, fancy decoys, SEAD and potential for large scale 5th gen air to air combat! Hordes of russian tanks rolling for the baltics, chasing submarines, pace race and an enemy that you can truly say that they where your enemy all along and not some crazy mook you armed 30 years ago.
Fun, fun, fun for everyone involved!
If you're gonna shadowbox an imaginary enemy, the hordes from the east are so much better compared to terrorist cave dwellers.

No mate they don't, not when they have multiband radar complexes attached, which they do (and btw you can squarely blame the F-35 for this). VHF and L-bands are not only undiscriminating of passive RCS enhancing measures but since each pencil beam consists of hundreds of beams with different frequencies its extremely hard to copy so you wouldn't have a chance of beating the echo, not without a more sophisticated transmitter(another AESA-) and a putting more onboard power(whole thing balloons into something growler sized then).
Then there is always sending in the fighters to check up on them(which is actually dealing with air intrusion 101). They can even design a drone launched by one of the S-400 missiles- if its really that problematic as some of our American friends say it is.

a B-2? the manufacturers didn't even go there and you went right ahead anyways.

And pray tell me, what sort of COTS and non-expensive (which is the point) receiver is there that can receive a very wide band of signals(X to VHF), each of which are transmitted across their own bands so thats like hundreds of beams with subtly different frequencies and transmitter that can replicate and boost said signals?
>Then stuffing a jammer into the package isn't exactly science fiction.
That jammer with the purported capabilities you touted is science fiction, well at least if its made for a drone.
>>
>>29871386
>Then there is always sending in the fighters to check up on them
This is THE best way of dealing with air intrusions and since the dawn of aerial warfare.
One can expect that the MALD will be quite troublesome, it is quite rare to see the US beating the big drums over something so otherwise uninspiring as a decoy.
The ADM-141 TALD has been a thing for decades, quite successfully too I might add but no one ever heard about it because it don't go bang or do anything particularly impressive.
What makes the MALD-J so special is that it has its on board jammer. That makes it much harder to plan and gives defenders much less time to react. They'd have to wait until burn through range and if it as you say that painting it with the guidance radar pencil beam can tell it's nature, it still is a major hassle if you have a hundred contacts inbound and you have to lock each and every one of them to classify the threat.
It gives a huge advantage to the attacker.

With what jets? The ones hanging back waiting for the MALDS to stimulate air defences? The ones with combat loads optimized for SEAD and have to drop them(mission kill) to engage? The only planes the Russian interceptors have to worry about are the couple escorts and considering they are playing with a homefield advantage likely can mass more aircraft in the area than the US can.

Given that the RCS of a F-117 was stated in official documents and that the F-117 is smack in the middle of the various guesstimates for the B-2 RCS.

Who the fuck mentioned off the shelf? FYI, I can buy handheld devices that can both receive VHF signals and the same goes for X-band. It might be space tech in china but in the US it's certainly not. It's not like they cant stuff several smaller devices in there or combine a few.
>science fiction
Again, maybe for chinks and vatniks but the US has been on the bleeding edge of airborne jammers since forever. Given the presumed one way trip for the jammer, you have a much more leeway with power output.

>Again they don't have to wait until burn through ranges mate
This is if one assume AESA is completely unjammable, which it is not. Given the very small frame of the MALD and that search and track radars might be jammed, you'd have a hard time to train your pencil beam on the MALD in the first place.

People, its not like you even read posts you just quoted. They wouldn't have problems discriminating between real and decoy targets let alone cruise missiles. In fact cruise missiles are much easier targets to detect and engage, especially when flying at altitude (which is why most fly NOE) so you just wasted a couple million dollar missiles.

Yes they would. Very much so.
That is the very idea behind mating an Active Signature Argumentation device with a jammer and sticking it in a drone.
>>
>>29871798
I read enough and russiaboos still havent provided any evidence of them being able to tell a decoy from a cruise missile let alone an aircraft. You do realize that a MALD is basically ALCM with an inert warhead so pray tell how russia will not be itching to shoot one down? There's only two choices, russia turns on their radar and expose themselves to identify a MALD, or shut their radar down and reduce their SAM effectiveness. Your move.

Sure, a plane designed back when computers are still shit they can't even give it curves let alone have the manufacturing processes refined after years of experience in making stealth aircraft has comparable RCS to the one that followed it and didn't have all these setbacks I just mentioned...

Except they use drones with similar size for regular target exercises- its not safe because of its small frame. And jamming the search and track radars are a big maybe on account of power they have alone not counting measures such as spreading emissions across frequency bans.

The idea that they are trying to push trough is that the russian IADS is infallible to the degree that they do never turn off the radars. That the Krasukha-2/Tunguska/Pantsir/S-400 is capable to destroy any inbound aircraft and any munitions that manage to get through will either be spoofed off target or destroyed by point defense systems. A Maginot line of AA defense if you will, no need to hide because it is infallible.
This is why the MALD-J triggers vatniks so much and if you filter away various technobabble or memes, all boils down to the following.

Oh really? Except that they routinely shit on similarly sized targets a couple times farther than that.
>all you see is jamming and the augmented signature.
ah,yes. since it doesn't replicate the return signal that much(sam operators are like: are they even trying) it basically amounted to nothing more than a shoot me! sign. the jamming is a nice try but the inverse square law is again making everyone the bitch and I doubt a frame as small as the whole jamming pod on the growler can muster enough radiated power to become noticeable even.

MALD saturates IADS with false targets to protect launching aircraft. It can imitate the radar signature of a wide range of targets by manipulating it's return with active transmissions. Emit or fire at a MALD, and the real aircraft get a risk free opportunity to destroy you. MALD-J just makes them a pain in the ads even if you don't attack them.

People will say that you can neutralize it by comparing the returns of several radars of different bands. This is really more of a coping mechanism than a proper counter, as it doesn't prevent the increase in workload for the IADS. SEAD/DEAD moves very quickly, so the presence of MALD in a scenario could force even a very modern, mobile IADS to either pack up and run or die in droves.
>>
>>29875528
The aforementioned coping mechanism also feeds into other aspects of the attack, such as HARM for obvious reasons, and VLO aircraft, which also require increased radar scrutiny to effectively detect.
>>
>>29875554
>and VLO aircraft, which also require increased radar scrutiny to effectively detect.
Not to mention that one of the core purposes of the ASQ-239 is ID and track on active transmitters from IADS systems to more easily map and engage them.
>>
>>29873256
No one in this thread knows the capability of the MALD-J but if we assume it works as advertised, it will become a major headache for any IADS facing it if you combine it with VLO fighters, cruise and anti radiation missiles and ground attack planes.

Jamming resistance is widely advertised in radar systems but decoy resistance is not.

The memes about vatnik shills are real.

Seriously, anyone know of viable tactics to deal with decoys? Unless Russia get their hands on one, they must assume that they work. The consequences of dismissing it out of hand only to discover that it can trick their radars in a real situation would be catastrophic.
Assuming they do work, what could one possibly do? Sending up fighters and see which targets respond to you or has radar?

Could these things be loaded up with chaff possibly? Send in a dozen or so drones shitting out wide corridors of chaff and have aircraft follow in these corridors launching more chaff laying drones ahead of them.
What kind of resistance to chaff does modern radars have?
>>
>>29878367
Chaff isn't very useful against modern tech unless you can create a thick cloud of the stuff and are willing to have your aircraft ingest aluminium strips while flying through.

Tech's been moving more towards towed decoys and tiny jammers that get ejected out of the same boxes as flares / chaff.
