Re: Did the Soviets ever succeed in jamming the “X-Gerat“ beam
Mirek, you are not quite right.
Radars in Russian air defenses were already in 1941 around Moscow. When already in the first air RAID by the Luftwaffe (22 Jule 1941) at a distance of 100 kilometers was detected radar.
Although radar system around Moscow was completed in the beginning of 1942. Since that time, has already mentioned the broken or attacked by a German reconnaissance aircraft (with the help of guidance by radio to the air defense fighters) that were tracked by the radar stations. Moreover, part the radar stations were manned by British radars, which were delivered from the UK since the autumn of 1941.
Also the Russians had a lot of acoustic radars and posts early detection of air attacks (VNOS-posts).
Radio transmitters were not enough front-line fighters, but the fighters of the air defense they were.
regards,
Kirill
