>Russian device blocks U.S. missiles over Iraq

>KUWAIT, July 16 (Reuters) - Iraq has managed to stop the United States from firing sophisticated missiles at it with an $18,000 jamming device it bought from Russia, a newspaper reported on Sunday.
>Al-Qabas daily said in a report from Moscow that it had met the Russian inventor of the portable device which was designed at a university. The daily also published pictures of what it said was the device.

>Baghdad said earlier this year that it had developed the capability to neutralise U.S. anti-radar HARM missiles, often fired by warplanes enforcing no-fly zones in Iraq, effectively forcing them out of the skies.

>Al-Qabas said the first two of the devices were carried to Baghdad as a gift by Russian ultranationalist leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

>British and U.S. warplanes conduct daily patrols over southern and northern Iraq and often fire at Iraqi targets if challenged. The two powers last led a major military campaign against Iraq in December 1998.

Просто в одной статье замешали глушители GPS которые действительно могут помешать томогавкам, и ложные цели для ХАРМов. Так что никакой фантастики нет.
