That's something else entirely. The Growler can do that 'cause the target of jamming and target of comm signal are totally different. You could be jamming an enemy in front of you while communicating to a friendly unit behind you. So any interference can be cancelled.
And if barrage jamming is as awesome as you think, which you called "last century", then nobody would have bothered creating more surgical types of jamming, like with DRFM, which frankly is very difficult to use effectively due to the limitations explained in post 5296, ie, unknown signals.
In fact, something that both you and Innominate did not realise, the video I posted was a perfect example of targeted base jamming. He was exposed to the brunt of the attack, but we watched it happening from a different angle and did not experience as much of an impact although we were also facing the screen.
You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill. During peacetime, it's very easy to do a lot of things that's practically impossible during wartime. One of those is what the US did during the Pelosi incident.
Here's another example of peacetime surveillance. Iranian drone over a US carrier:
So is that the Iranians being amazing or them using peacetime advantages that prevent the USN from reacting to the drone? What do you think is the drone's chances of success in replicating this in a shooting war? Similarly, the Type 055 was jammed because it couldn't shoot back.
Here's another one:
Oh, look how helpless the American destroyer was against a lone Su-24. Or is there more to the story? So read up:
'Here comes this Russian hot dog': The story behind a Navy warship's dangerous encounter with Russian fighter jets | Business Insider India
US NavyA Russian Sukhoi Su-24 attack aircraft makes a low-altitude pass by USS Donald Cook, April 12, 2016. After Russia's seizure of Crimea in 2014, encounters between Russian and NATO forces became more frequent and, in many cases, less safe.
There's always more to it than meets the eye.
