The thing is, though, jamming tends to work against stealth - you're signalling that
something's out there, even though the recipients may not know exactly what it is.
Besides which, they only started jamming after they'd already raised the alarm by blowing the VF-171 picket ship away - after all, the jamming was targeted at the quick-response flight of Ghosts arriving to investigate the recon bird's disappearance. Neither did the jamming appear to continue after the Ghosts had been dispensed with.

Possible, but it's interesting that the Vajra appear to be able to distinguish Ghosts from Valkyries (since they jammed the Ghosts, yet the Valkyries had no trouble at all with their sensors, comms and telemetry) and select a highly effective ECM option on the fly, all apparently based on the preprogrammed responses of a unit with little or no capability for independent analysis.
Did the masterminds behind the Vajra encounter another UN Spacy force somewhere, perhaps, and obtain some equipment samples to study? Or might there be a command ship hanging back out of sight to coordinate and direct the action?
