Electronic warfare troops hold exercise in southern Russia - Southern Military District HQ
MOSCOW. April 15 (Interfax-AVN) - Electronic warfare (EW) specialists breached a mock enemy's navigation field during an exercise in Stavropol Territory, the Southern Military District headquarters said on Friday.
"Having suppressed radio networks and navigation, EW specialists breached the communications system of a mock enemy's forward air controllers within a radius of up to 200 kilometers. The efficiency of the radio-jamming zone created was confirmed by the servicemen playing the role of the mock enemy," the Southern Military District's spokesperson said in a statement obtained by Interfax-AVN on Friday.
To resolve this problem, troops used "the latest models of military hardware: Borisoglebsk-2 EW systems and Zhitel automated jamming stations," the spokesperson said.
The EW specialists "promptly deployed the stations, gathered and analyzed the intelligence received from electromagnetic radiation of varying spectrum, with further transmission of the mock enemy's coordinates to artillery units, and practiced distorting the navigation field created by positioning systems," the spokesperson said.
