Looks like they sold the Iraqis six radio beacons for the price of six GPS jammers. I guess they are catching on to this capitalism thing after all.

A GPS jammer is inherently a radio beacon, as is any other jammer. Their only way of surviving is to run away when there's an inbound weapon--and if the inbound is a missile with a home-on-jam mode you had better turn off also or it will track in on you anyway.
