Electronic warfare and C&C military technologies are leagues better than they were in 2002, so I’m not entirely sure that a lot of the asymmetric tactics Van Riper used would be of much use, especially in light of immense leaps in satellite imaging, radar tracking, and telecommunications technologies. The reason Riper discarded his electronic technologies was because his forces were expected to deploy antiquated Soviet C&C and radar systems, which in comparison with modern electronic warfare equipment wasn’t only a hinderance, but a liability.
The opposing general was also incredibly stupid and Riper exploited said stupidity excellently. Especially by pressing Blue team forces up against shipping lanes which prevented the fleet’s CWIS, Sea Sparrow, and other close-in weapons defense platforms from tracking incoming ordnance as the chance of locking neutral shipping or passenger liners was high.
I wonder why the Northeast Passage is becoming navigable....
