China successfully tests 'phantom space strike' weapon which overwhelm AAD
- foxyv 4y agoPhantom space strike? It's ECM decoys for ICBMs. If I had to guess, I'm betting they are using multiple ECM drones to create a virtual antenna similar to a radar telescope array. A single drone wouldn't be able to jam anything other than a distance/velocity measurement and even then that's pretty hard in space. This isn't exactly new technology, but it's still another challenge for mid-course ICBM missile defense. Unless of course NATO has a bird in their pants. Although with how sophisticated radar detection has gotten, they may just use these ECM drones to help target the real warheads. ECM is kind of a double edged sword sometimes. When it works it's great and wreaks havoc on the enemy because all they see is garbage. When it fails it just gives the enemy a really good idea of where you are.
