Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine is significantly different from the wars of the last century. It has become more technological, and therefore gives rise to new terms. Today, the Prompolitinform portal talks about an important concept of the modern battlefield – EW (electronic warfare).
What is EW?
Electronic warfare is a complex of means and actions aimed at suppressing or disrupting the operation of the enemy’s electronic systems.
Main functions of EW:
• Communication jamming: disruption of radio channels.
• GPS suppression: disorientation of navigation.
• Countering drones: disrupting control or interception.
• Protection of own systems: creating an electronic “shield.”
EW is an invisible but critically important front of modern warfare.
