The new method allows
electronic warfare specialists to create "vacuum" space shielded from
the impacts of drones, airborne radars, radio-controlled high-explosive
munitions and cruise missiles.
YEKATERINBURG, June
10. /TASS/. Electronic warfare specialists from Russia’s Central Military
District tested a new method of jamming enemy aircraft while using three
different types of ground-based electronic counter-measures systems, the
District’s press office reported on Monday.
"During the
experiment at the Sverdlovsk and Chebarkul practice ranges, servicemen used the
Borisoglebsk [electronic counter-measures] system to conduct radio-electronic
reconnaissance. By penetrating the channels of communications systems’ control,
they created interference in the operation of ground and airborne radio
communications employed by a notional enemy," the statement says.
"The teams of
the Krasukha [electronic counter-measures] system suppressed the signal of an
onboard radar installed on an aircraft and also the radio channels of
controlling unmanned aerial vehicles. The activation of the Zhitel hardware
made it possible to shut out satellite communications equipment, navigation and
cellular communications systems within a radius of 30 km," the statement
reads.
The new method allows
electronic warfare specialists to create "vacuum" space shielded from
the impacts of drones, airborne radars, radio-controlled high-explosive
munitions and cruise missiles, the District’s press office explained.
The drills involved
about 500 servicemen, the District’s press office specified for TASS.
"The experiment
involved unmanned aerial vehicles, communications systems, dummy munitions and
aircraft," the press office said.
