Russia tested the system of radar and unmanned aerial vehicles jamming

Tests of a new system of electronic warfare (EW) “Porubshchik” completed in the Moscow Region. According to the newspaper “Izvestia”, the tests were conducted by Flight Research Institute named after Gromov in Zhukovsky and now IL-22 with special equipment are undergoing state tests before delivery to the Russian Air Force.

A key feature of the new system is the ability of EW for directional jamming of radio-electronic devices, such as radar or control drones. “Porubshchik” is able to capture the activity of AEW AWACS, air defense systems Patriot, as well as command and control of unmanned vehicles in service with NATO. After detecting the activity EW system selectively induces interference in a certain direction at a given frequency and thus does not interfere with its own means of communication and surveillance.

Rostec to hand over the servicing of military equipment to its companies

Foreign importers of military equipment will work directly with Rostec holding companies. The corporation has proposed handing over the servicing rights to its companies.
