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.

Me too. Russia my love. Putin my Pal.
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
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.
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.
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.
