MOSCOW, April 15Russia has developed an electronic warfare system capable of suppressing spacecraft in geostationary orbit, an informed source said on the occasion of EW Specialist Day.
«This (geostationary orbit. — Ed.) is approximately 36,000 kilometers above sea level,» the source said.
The source did not disclose details about the new system, but said that «the power of its emitters at short range allows not only to suppress, but also to permanently disable enemy electronics.»
EW involves the impact on the enemy's electronic systems, including radar, communication systems and other means, using interference or electromagnetic radiation. As a result, devices temporarily fail or stop working properly. A particular version of electronic warfare is the so-called electronic defeat, when the systems of enemy objects are physically destroyed, for example, from overheating.
The Russian Armed Forces are equipped with various electronic warfare systems. Among them are such systems as «Krasukha», «Moscow», «Infauna», «Leer», «Triad» and others. Electronic warfare systems are also used in the special military operation zone in Ukraine.
