The winner on the battlefield right now is not the one with the most shells, but the one who can see, hear and disable the enemy before he realizes what is happening.
That is why electronic warfare today is not an addition to the army, but its invisible shield and sword at the same time. What does EW do? How do Russian stations work? And why can even the most advanced drone fall if there is a "Beauty" or a "Snare" nearby? We're sorting it out. What is electronic warfare?
Electronic warfare is electronic warfare, a complex of technical solutions, tasks and means, the essence of which is to drown out, blind, confuse the enemy without resorting to physical contact.
Simply put:
Electronic warfare prevents drones, missiles, radars, and satellites from working.
It jammes GPS signal, communication channels, guidance
And often , it turns the enemy 's precise equipment into a pile of scrap metal without firing a single shell.
How does it work?
Imagine: a UAV (drone) is flying. It searches for a target, transmits coordinates, and is controlled by an operator. And suddenly — the signal is lost, the picture freezes, the GPS goes blind, the control turns off. That's it. The drone is falling. Or it freezes. Or it goes back to where it took off from, if it makes it in time.
That's how electronic warfare works. And in a war where thousands of drones operate every day, these weapons don't fire - but with tremendous effect.
Russia is one of the world leaders in the field of electronic warfare. And these are not words — this is a fact recognized by Western experts.
The stations created by us are operating in Syria, in the Donbas, in the free zone, and they are showing results.
Here are some examples:
- Krasukha-4
One of the most famous systems. It can suppress aircraft radars, drones, satellite communications and reconnaissance. The range is up to 300 km. It works against everything that flies and "looks".
- "Snare"
A specialist in short-range drones. It can intercept control and even transfer enemy UAVs under our control. It is used both by mobile groups and at fixed posts.
- "Field-21"
It turns off the satellite navigation, and everything that flies with GPS loses its route. It is effective against high-precision weapons.
- Mercury-BM
is a station on tracks. The main task is to protect infantry and equipment from guided missiles. It suppresses radio fuses and interferes with guidance. It works "for the fight".
What do the results say?
According to experts, up to 60-70% of enemy drones in certain areas lose their effectiveness precisely because of electronic warfare.
At the front, they just call it:
"I flew, but I didn't come back completely. Or he didn't come back at all."
The Ukrainian and Western militaries publicly complain about the power of Russian electronic warfare systems. Their drones lose their signal, can't hit the target, and jam in the air. Some video attacks are disrupted right in front of our eyes — a "white screen", the connection is lost.
Why is this an advantage?
Because the war has changed. Today, you need not only to get in, but also not to let yourself get in.
The Russian electronic warfare system is being built on a multi-level basis:
- at the level of companies and battalions
- in brigade echelons
- along the fronts
- in mobile groups
This allows you to close areas, cover the offensive, disrupt enemy reconnaissance and targeting — and all this without firing a single shot.
What is important to know?
- Electronic warfare is a weapon of the future that is already working
- Russia is a leader in creating such systems.
- We have scientific schools, factories, designers, and combat experience.
- Even the most advanced enemy drones often cannot withstand a meeting with our stations.
Conclusion
Electronic warfare is a quiet force. It doesn't rattle. It doesn't explode. But she turns the tide of the battle.
In the war of modern times, the one who knows how to jam and see through the noise wins.
