Every year on April 15, the day of the specialist in electronic warfare is celebrated in the Russian Armed Forces – a professional holiday established by presidential decree of May 31, 2006.
“Western armies until recently believed that developing EW troops does not make sense, as a result they are hopelessly behind, so the Russian EW systems have gone far ahead and in fact have no analogues in the world,” Leonkov said.
“The Russian army has adopted the local-action systems that protect aircraft, ships, manpower on a limited area, neutralizing munition fuses, affecting reconnaissance systems, confusing homing heads, intercepting control systems of drones, and even those that affect space objects.” – he emphasized.
According to the expert, in the coming years, the importance of electronic warfare will only increase due to the increasing role of information technology in command and control of troops and weapons.
