Did the Soviets ever succeed in jamming the “X-Gerat“ beam

[Tango Echo Dog]

Gentlemen
I have followed the correspondence with some interest and the first question I have to ask is when was X-Geraet used against Moscow?
Given the intermittent nature of Luftwaffe attacks upon the city and the fact it usually involved small forces, it does seem surprising that the Germans would go to this trouble. But I could well be wrong.
I am not aware of any PVO published history mentioning jamming of radars, in fact my impression is the Russians preferred to jam communications.
The one exception, mentioned by Kirill, was the use of 'Window' It appears to have been developed without any Anglo-American input during 1943 but what is not clear is exactly when it was first deployed.
Perhaps Kirill can provide this information

X-Gerat was used on the very first raid on Moscow 21-22 July 1941.

I wonder, what specifically interested you in German air raids on Moscow in 1941?

There were in fact 2 quite strong attack and later pleny very small raids, up to the end of 1941?

Almost nothing special?

Sorry for the long delay, but the raids on Moscow in July 1941 committed most of the Kampfgeschwader to the operation thus starving Army group center of air support from the bombers. The battle of Smolensk was almost entirely supported by ground attack aircraft alone.

Actually I have to correct myself here. The X and Y Gerat systems were NOT used in the attacks on Moscow. They were removed. The transmitting systems (The Rivers) remained in France. At best they used the Knickebein system.
