Some of what the article is stating is correct on how the defensive systems handle & ignore certain radar's and being painted by a laser, but the anti-radar is to knock out a SAM site usually only when on low level flight (high altitude you got chaffs & flares) so if they were out at sea then the cop wouldn't even be able to paint the aircraft, but if he was in the valleys going low level and they flew over and the cop then had it active it would get detected and zapped, but their told to have it turned off when low level such as coming in to land.
