Russia boasts better integrated electronic warfare and “offensive and defensive electromagnetic spectrum capabilities” than NATO forces in Europe, a UK authority on the Kremlin’s military said this week.
USNI News quoted Roger McDermott, a senior research fellow in war studies at King’s College London, as saying, “the Russians learn by doing.” Moscow is said to be merging such capabilities — learned in Syria and the Ukraine — into their military operations and strategies.
McDermott delivered his assessment while speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC on Monday.
Noting Russia’s recent response to a drone swarm attack on a Russian air base and naval facility in Syria, he said, “all were brought down” by conventional air defense or jamming using electronic warfare tools.
In Ukraine, McDermott also pointed out that small Russian electronic warfare units have crossed the border to jam the Kiev government’s communications systems. The capability was also used to enhance the fire control of Ukrainian separatists’ artillery before the concerned Russian units withdrew behind their lines shortly thereafter, the analyst said.
McDermott, in a recent report on electronic warfare, further noted that Moscow began integrating its electronic warfare capabilities with conventional military hardware and software when it moved into Crimea and Ukraine in 2014.
Yea boi, you dont fuk with Russkis.
Good to know Russia is ahead on these defense and offense capabilities cuz i don’t want my US of A to think they can Subjugate Russia ever. Viva Russia.
Mother Russia… They never go around saying they are the best like the US does… Instead, They are always quiet like a snake, invisible and surprising… A country that the world can never underestimate… Objective, Stronger and undefeatable… I love Russia.
russian t-30 war tanks were turned out tobe the real waterloo for the mighty blitzkerieg from germans during ww 2. they r d the most dangerous war match to an ever innovating yankees. but all will come to a naught when it comes to neuclear buttons …remember ………….. humanity is still at infancy stage and war is the illness of it’s childhood , so said Einstein once !
60% of Russia’s budget is in the military. Not surpring that many of its citizens remain poor and continue to be subjugated by the current regime. They only know Putin as the only leader who can rule. All the rests are ordinary mortals.
yes but have not won a war
Bernard Ugochukwu hahaha…. Come on!!! Wake up. Have never lost a war you mean. The story tells it all… Read some books Brother.
What would you do if you knew that you’re being targeted by the U.S. And NATO from the very beginning??? Would you sit and eat a big McDonald? I guess not. Have you ever asked yourself the reason why the U.S. Hate Russia?? Have you ever seen Russia troops closer to US boarders? No? The day you see that happen run and take a trip to a safe country because from that day the US will be in total ruin, probably the world too, unfortunately.
Probably you have no idea how dangerous the US and NATO puts us all in trying to mobilize troops to Russia boarders! In a possible war, Russians will start firing those thousands of nukes to every countries that are treat to its security!! And you don’t think that the world will have enough power to detain all those bombs flying all over! Even Russia its self won’t be able capable to take down every single bombs coming from other countries. Therefore, you can now imagine how the world will look like! So my Answer to your question is… 60% Russia budget is in the military to enable them to be capable to defend their vast and rich territory from bad guys and make sure everyone else who plans to invade them will think twice..
Fernando Ricardo Russia is a trouble maker, the US is a defender of countries victimized by violence instigated by Russia. Russia is a merchant of death. It has no economic contribution to the world development because it pours all its assets on arms and war materials. Today, probably Russia is the supplier of nuclear technology to North Korea and make North Korea as a proxy in its rivalry with the US.
Are you American! If you’re, please don’t point Russians as being so poor people because in the US you’ll see so many poor people in the streets asking for food and something to survive. Don’t you dare to say or think that the US is a five stars country. I would say Norway or other Europe countries. We know Putin is there as president for a while now but we also know that Russia was ruled by several presidents before Mr. Putin and I think you haver already heard about Stallin and others. There will be other President in Russia, nobody stays in power forever but until then, Putin’s Russia will prevail. Hopefully the future Russia president will continue putting the right measures in place to counter the Russia haters… Don’t get me wrong buddy. That’s simply my point of view. Peace and stability to the world.
Virgilio Abueva but what about US arm supply in Middle East…Both Russia US seem alike in the name of ruling the World…However we have to aware of expansionist China. ..
It’s better to keep quiet on topics you’re clueless about…otherwise you come across as fool
Bernard Ugochukwu who deafeted Hiltler, what brought down his regime??
Virgilio Abueva the US is defender of the countries victimized??? What kind of humam are you?? Have you forgotten about the U.S. Policies?? Come up with big lies, Instabelize defenseless countries, Invade them, kill thousands and still their wealth such as Oil?? Is there a common sense here??? Who destroyed Iraq alleging that there were Nukes?? What did the US find there?? What did they do next? Have you been seeing the current situation in Middle East? Are you aware of the U.S. several military bases around the world? Have you been seeing how the U.S. Treat the people that helped them and gave their lives to build America? Have been watching the way the U.S. Treat the neighbors countries? Are the Africans welcome to America??? Man go and sit back have a cup of tea and forgive yourself for being so unfair… Shame!!!
Shame on u ur not like being american go and live to russia
What ever u said american still no.1
Yea indeed … The US being a defender of nations dats will only subject themselves to Americas will….and invade those that does not.
Russias first and only win will be US of A….
Virgilio Abueva …..You mean the U S is victimizing other countires that can’t defend it self.Show me one country that the U S have defended, from Afghan to Lybia to Iraq and of resent Syria……my friend the truth is that the warmongering policies of the US is causing deaths everywhere they go….the US should wake up cos that time of unipolar hegemony is over….you don’t expect the North Koreans to go to sleep when thousands of Us marines armed to the teeth is stationed at thier door step….wake up friend
Russia thinKa it was the US who sent those drones to attack Russia bases in Khmeimim and Tartous (which the US denied), the US wanted to test Russian readiness and preparedness. The Americans found the answer: Russia shot down all drones. Well done rUSSIA.
Brando Lomabas I think Mr William Crain is being a GOOD American, he just admits one undeniable fact: that his country is a war-mongering country out to be be a world cop to subjugate everybody including Russia. I think one day the US govt will find that it’s trying to bite more than it can chew.
Virgilio Abueva US a defender of countries? What a joke! You mean US va mtroublesome meddler, always meddling in lands fara way from its shores, always trying to regime change these countries, always threatening wars on these countries, always destroying countries and their people and infrastructure (Iraq, Libya, Serbia, Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria and now threatening Iran and North Korea). US a defender my ass! More like a rogue state out to colonize entire worlld.
They don’t spend 60… it’s 20+. Don’t make up numbers… and the rest didn’t bother to read since you pulled that number out of nowhere. Russia spends 1/7 what the US spends… actually a little more than the UK spends. They spend it better than NATO
Me too. Russia my love. Putin my Pal.
Bernard Ugochukwu during the second World War the first army to enter German was the red army from Russia
But Putin is better than a clown called Trump

Please define poor? How many Americans are home owners,car owners paid in cash???

Fernando Ricardo
A clear conscience fears no accusations. Russia is only amassing weapons because of its dubious intentions to protect its evil plans
Russia 50 billion usd in defence… usa 650 billion usd in defence. Who is the aggresive one?
Virgilio Abueva US defenders of countries by invading and starting civil wars in countries? if the US has nuclear weapons why cant the other countries have it?? so far the US is the only country who have used Nuclear weapon specially on civilians just to defend the poor ppl in Japan?? may be you are a bit BLIND
Stanis Bai there’s no KGB it’s FSB
ask japan my dear boy who was defeated in their war
This must have been stated by your American Masters? Don’t forget that US have about 12%of their population without owning a home and about 80% are economic slaves to the rich class.
Desh King Mecko It was
Russia, my star.
Oh sure, remember the Russian GDP is the same as Spain! Unless they are planning on starting to export olive oil the chance that Russia is some leading edge technological giant is absurd. Give me a break what kind of idiot thinks this is possible? Mr. McDermott wants us to believe a third rate economy can produce first rate electronics? Check out your phone and your computer and find how many chips were designed and manufactured in Russia, let me save you the trouble, ZERO. Intel’s total revenue is probably about equal to Russia’s GDP and they are not even in the defense industry. Even China where a lot of electronics are manufactured does not do the design work. The closest China gets to high tech is Taiwan.
USA lost its superpower now and has no military technology to compete with Russia, Russian electronic warfare alone can paralyze the whole USA airforces/ warships/submarines and ground troops and makes all of them useless and Russian electronic ware is more than 20 years more avanced than USA. Russia will disarm by 2025 USA/Nato/Uk and rules the world with its friend China and Japan and Germany will be allied of Russia. Read the prophecy of VAGNA. USA has no scientists now to compete with Russia in this age of Electronic warfare. The people of USA has been misled by so called intellectuals and fake conference leaders who do not tell their people the reality of the superiority of Russia army, although no generals in USA/ Nato wish to fight against Russia , because of their weakness, but why the media t Russia for does not tell the truth to its people to enable the beloved people of USA/UK to choose peace with Russia , instead of WWAR3 which Russia will easily win because USA/UK have no Army to stand up against Russia even for ONE HOUR of WWAR3 where their missiles/submarines/ warplanes/ground forces will not function due to the extreme powerful russian electronic warfare that will disable all the satellites of USA/Uk/Nato and let them totally blind. USA needs to reconcile with russia before it is too late for the sake of the beloved people of USA/UK that have been trained to only hate Russia because Russia has better intellectual capability and is able to dominate the world. How many scientists the USA.UK have stolen from russia, but those scientists from Russia become useless in USA/Uk ? Because the Russian scientists are not individual in their works and none of them could anything alone once outside Russia.
