The exhibition “Innovation Day 2015 the Ministry of Defense” Russian engineers presented a revolutionary range of electronic warfare (EW) “Igla”. On the new development and the significance of electronic warfare in the modern military conflict, known «Economics today».
The ground stations EW Russia has clearly the best in the world
Individual complex “Igla” help greatly improve the protection of objects of radio-controlled explosive devices. According to a member of the “Rostec” instrument-United Corporation (DIC), the range of “needles” as much as 5 times more than the similar analogues. According to Deputy Director General of UIC Sergei Skokov , the advantage of the new complex not only to provide protection for personnel and equipment from the radio-controlled explosions in a radius of 100 meters, and ease of use. “For the use of the minimum qualifications required of the operator,” – said Skokov.
Military experts point out that the “needle” capable of protecting, including moving objects. This set allows you to organize full-scale operation, even during radio frequency suppression of the enemy. In addition, for a more efficient operation of the “Igla” can simultaneously interact with other means of electronic warfare.
«The value of electronic warfare in the modern military conflict is difficult to overestimate. Today, with the clever use of “smart weapons” can dramatically change the balance of power in the air, on land and on water, military strategists completely rethink the approach to warfare. From the point of view of Russian prospects in this area, it looks very good, “- said independent military expert Andrei Mironov.
And the Russian leadership positions are recognized and Western experts. Mironov, illustrating his words, last year’s recalls the story of the American destroyer “Donald Cook” in the Black Sea, the pride of the US Navy. He is able to carry up to 96 missiles “Tomahawk” with a nuclear warhead in a position to reach the target at a distance of 2500 kilometers. Throw in 50 anti-aircraft missiles of various classes and 400 crew members, tons of Kevlar protected.
What kind of a threat to “Donald Cook” can be a Russian Su-24 bomber, who undertook to accompany him? Yes, he even without bombs and rockets flew on a mission, no weapons on the Russian aircraft did not have, except for complex electronic bomb “Khibiny”. “Turn it over the destroyer, he is easily knocked out all the electronics” Cook “- radar data transmission systems, control circuits, making Kevlar monster pile of scrap metal. Then repeatedly conducted 12 training attacks and went back, and the crew of the destroyer, referring to the demoralization of the external composition, the Romanian port of sail “- says Mironov.
In Russia the forefront electronic warfare came after the arrival of the post of Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu . And until 2008, the means of electronic warfare in general no one remembered. The Georgian military then pretty spoiled our blood Western EW complexes. But since the industry has leaped forward.
Now the Russian engineers proudly point to the fact that if EW installed in the aircraft, we are with the United States on one level, ground stations have definitely the best in the world. Not a single foreign EW complex and next to no cost. The emergence of the “needle” in a long list of “Krasuhi”, “Mercury-BM”, “Moscow” and others – another confirmation, and the number who want to buy “smart weapons” Russia simply does not have the number.
