And the article itself appears to be making some logical leaps. It says it's getting its information from a Forbes article, but the information in the Forbes article is simply this[1]:
> But the Russian air force could sidestep the jamming by reprogramming their radars to operate at slightly different frequencies. Under Biden, the USAF team might’ve kept pace with Russian adaptation by constantly adjusting the AN/ALQ-131s own frequencies. Under Trump, Ukrainian airmen are stuck with pods whose programming may soon be out of date.
Some people were asked why this got flagged, by I think there's some justification for that given the fact that it's a misleading headline for an article editorializing another article, and that most people here used it as a jumping off point to talk about politics and not what was actually being discussed.

- cutemonster 2y agoThe Forbes article also says: > U.S. President Donald Trump has halted U.S. aid to Ukraine, including vital support for the F-16s’ radar jammers. > That could deprive the Ukrainian air force of its most important aerial countermeasures at a critical moment That does sound really bad, I think.
