For the sake of security, Russia will create " death zones "that will be almost completely inaccessible to enemy cruise missiles, precision weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Izvestia reports, citing sources in the Russian military department.
According to the newspaper, the corresponding exercises will take place this year in the electronic warfare Forces (EW). Similar maneuvers are planned for the whole country next year. "It will be possible to create practically impenetrable protection not only over army objects, but also over social and industrial ones," the publication says.
Military historian Dmitry Boltenkov noted that electronic warfare systems can, for example, interfere with satellite navigation, suppress the radio altimeter signal and " jam " control channels with ground stations. Also, " direct methods of influencing new physical principles are being developed, which will literally burn out the onboard electronics."
According to military expert Viktor Murakhovsky, we are talking about creating "a complex that includes both air defense systems( air defense) and electronic warfare systems."
The newspaper calls, in particular, the Polye-21, Murmansk-BN and Krasukha-4 complexes promising means of electronic warfare.
In March, The Drive wrote that the US Navy's Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, based in Spain, have AN/SLQ-62 Portable Electronic Warfare Module-Speed To Fleet (TEWM-STF) electronic warfare systems capable of "killing" Russian P-800 Onyx anti-ship missiles.
