Research on Russian Electronic Warfare Equipment and Application in Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Abstract

After implementing the “New Look” military reform, Russia focuses on constructing and developing electronic warfare equipment, which has become an important “asymmetric” weapon for acquiring information dominance to gain battlefield initiative. In order to study the Russian electronic warfare equipment and its operational application in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the paper summarizes the compilation of Russian electronic warfare force and the technical characteristics of its equipment engaged in the war, and analyzes the application and effect of the electronic warfare equipment since the conflict. The deficiencies of Russian electronic warfare equipment are analyzed from the aspects of electronic warfare concept, electromagnetic spectrum management, systematic application and domestic supply chain and so on, which provides reference to design and develop new electronic warfare equipment and innovate the application of warfare training.
