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.
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.
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.
Russia, my star.

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.

A clear conscience fears no accusations. Russia is only amassing weapons because of its dubious intentions to protect its evil plans
