I understand military jets such as E6B prowlers and the like have some fairly sophisticated and powerful jamming gear installed (relatively speaking)..... not sure what effect it would have on a commercial jet..... however this is relatively small and when compared to ground based gear somewhat insignificant.

Is it really beyond the realms of possibility that ground based gear appropriately targeted couldnt do this? (Yes pretty remote - but is it possible?)



Anyone with any idea of how military jamming on a jet works?
