Date of the professional holiday of specialists in electronic warfare(EW) is related to the real historical event. On April 15, 1904, Japanese ships attempted a throw-over shelling of the fortifications and the raid of Port Arthur. One of the enemy ships corrected the fire on the wireless telegraph.
Telegraph operators from the station on the Golden Mountain and the battleship Pobeda, assuming such a development of events, began to interrupt the enemy message with a large spark. Such a signal has a high power and is able to suppress the frequency of the enemy. The idea of the Russian sailors was crowned with success - the shooting of the Japanese ships was ineffective.
The actions of military telegraphers confirmed the developments of Alexander Popov, who in 1903 proposed methods for conducting radio reconnaissance and jamming. This forced the military command to look differently at the possibilities of wireless telegraphy.
The tasks of intercepting call signs with subsequent use for their own purposes and jamming enemy transmissions were simplified due to the technical imperfection of the equipment of that time. The same principle of operation and the construction of transmitters (sometimes components of the same company) made it possible to act with a large spark.
Modern means of electronic warfare have changed dramatically, new functions and capabilities have appeared. Despite the technical superiority of today's technology, it solves almost the same problems as a hundred years ago. In the context of the constant technical development of all means of defense and attack, the EW faces strategically important tasks for the country. Our specialists on their equipment are capable of:
collect and store military information, including target designation;
transfer information to space objects;
use homing objects with increased pointing accuracy;
accurately hit pre-selected targets;
create active and passive interference and much more.
Effective electronic warfare against the enemy is impossible without modern technical means and highly qualified specialists. EW servicemen are constantly improving their skills in using regular electronic countermeasures.
The number of trainings and exercises exceeds a hundred a year. Conducted exercises of units directly aimed at the implementation of the main tasks. Electronic intelligence specialists take part in all major exercises of the army and navy, ensuring the tasks set by the command.
The Krasukha-4S, Murmansk, Moskva complexes showed their high efficiency not only in covering friendly units, but also in quickly suppressing the SUV of a mock enemy. The developments of our specialists allow disrupting the operation of control systems at a distance of up to 5000 km. "Murmansk-BN" suppresses up to 20 targets at such a distance at the same time.
The modern history of the holiday began in 2006 with the signing of the relevant Decree by the President of the Russian Federation. The leadership of our country in electronic warfare is recognized by foreign military experts.
The exploits and merits of electronic warfare specialists are not noticeable, but this does not make them any less significant. Happy Holidays to all servicemen and veterans!
Many are interested in the question of why April 15 was chosen as the date for celebrating the Day of the Electronic Warfare Specialist. You ask, we answer. May 3, 1999 Secretary of Defense Russian Federation signed an order for N 183: "On April 15, 1904, during the Russo-Japanese War, electronic warfare equipment was used for the first time. During the defense of Port Arthur, the radio transmissions of Japanese ships - fire spotters were suppressed. This marked the beginning of the formation and development of electronic warfare as a type of support military operations of the Armed Forces. I order: to establish in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation the Day of an electronic warfare specialist, which is celebrated annually on April 15. Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Marshal of the Russian Federation I. Sergeev.
For 100 years, electronic warfare (EW) has come a long and difficult path from a single case of radio interference to the most important type support for hostilities of any scale.
Today, electronic warfare, on the one hand, includes the targeted impact of electromagnetic radiation on radio-electronic objects in enemy troops and weapons control systems to destroy the circulating in them useful information, and on the other - the protection of their electronic systems from the effects of forces and means of electronic warfare of the enemy.
EW today
When, if not on Electronic Warfare Specialist Day, April 15, to talk about importance EW during periods of hostilities.
In modern military operations, electronic warfare is one of the main types of operational (combat) support for combat operations of troops. An experience local wars and armed conflicts shows that the use of EW forces and means can lead, for example, to an increase in the combat potential of ground forces by 1.5–2 times, a decrease in aviation losses in the air by 4–6 times, and warships by 2–3 times. The contribution of electronic warfare to the solution of such an important operational task of the troops as the disorganization of enemy command and control systems can reach 70%. Electronic warfare is essential in the system of complex destruction of the enemy, the protection of friendly troops and objects from precision weapons, information confrontation.
Electronic warfare, like any other type of military activity, is in constant development and improvement. The directions and pace of development of electronic warfare depend on a number of conditions. Significant of them include the implementation of reforms in the military and economic spheres, the transformation of the military-industrial complex, the spread of electronic warfare to the areas of application of civilian electronic means.
The growing role of electronic warfare in operations and combat actions causes it to go beyond the scope of the type of operational (combat) support and develop into a specific type of combat operations. Troops (forces) equipped modern weapons EW, will be able to independently perform combat missions to disorganize the command and control systems of the enemy's troops and weapons and to protect the command and control systems of friendly troops.
In the future, electronic warfare can be a set of measures and actions of troops to open radio-electronic objects in the command and control systems of troops (forces) and reconnaissance weapons and electronic warfare of the enemy, their electronic destruction, as well as to identify the state of radio-electronic means in command and control systems of their troops and their electronic protection. Perhaps, in the near future, electronic warfare will be carried out with the aim of disorganizing the systems of command and control of troops (forces) and weapons, reconnaissance and electronic warfare of the enemy and ensuring the stability of their similar systems. The main means of disrupting (disrupting) the functioning of enemy electronic systems and means will probably be means of functional destruction, as well as means of creating active and passive interference.
Reducing the effectiveness of deliberate interference and ensuring electromagnetic compatibility of their radio-electronic systems and means will be carried out by the implementation by the troops (forces) of a set of organizational and technical measures (measures). There will be new forms and ways combat use troops (forces) EW. The most important of them will be electronic fire and electronic strikes.
Integration processes in the construction and use of the Armed Forces will lead to the transition to the creation of an electronic warfare system of the RF Armed Forces as a multifunctional and multipurpose system electronic destruction of the enemy in all areas (in space, air, land and sea), to the entire depth of the formation of his troops (forces), as well as electronic protection of his troops (forces) in peacetime and wartime.
The general direction in the development of the electronic warfare system will be the creation of electronic warfare equipment based on non-traditional, new principles, primarily, means of functional destruction of electronic equipment and high-precision weapons. The use of such weapons on the battlefield together with traditional electronic warfare equipment will increase the effectiveness of electronic warfare by more than 3-5 times.
EW history
On the Day of the Electronic Warfare Specialist, April 15, I want to remember how it all began. What is the history of electronic warfare in Russian military affairs?
Back in January 1902, in the report of the Russian Naval technical committee it was stated: "... Telegraphy without wires has the disadvantage that a telegram can be caught at any foreign station and, therefore, read, interrupted and confused by extraneous sources of electricity." And two years later, on April 15, 1904, during the artillery shelling, which the Japanese squadron led along the inner roadstead of the city of Port Arthur, the radio station of the Russian battleship Pobeda and the coastal post " golden mountain" seriously hampered the transmission of telegrams from enemy spotter ships. Rear Admiral Ukhtomsky testified to the effectiveness of the first case of radio interference in his report to Admiral Alekseev: "More than 60 large-caliber shells were fired by the enemy. There were no court cases."
Thus, the beginning of the use of radio equipment for reconnaissance and jamming during the Russo-Japanese War is considered the moment of the birth of electronic warfare.
In 1911, Petrovsky, a professor of radio engineering at the Naval Academy, was the first to theoretically substantiate methods for creating radio interference and protecting radio communications from them. They have been field tested for Black Sea Fleet. At the same time, measures were developed to allow "... to escape enemy interference during radio communication sessions." Training began on the creation of radio interference and training of radio operators in the conditions of interference on the ships of the Russian Baltic Fleet.
And yet it should be noted that the created radio facilities were mainly used to provide communications, identify enemy communication channels and intercept information transmitted through them. However, during the First World War, radio interference began to be used to disrupt radio communications between the headquarters of armies, corps and divisions, as well as between warships. True, this happened only sporadically, since preference was given to the interception of radio transmissions, rather than their disruption. At the same time, special radio interference stations already appeared in the German army at that time.
In the period between the First and Second World Wars, along with a significant development of radio communications, radio direction finding, radio telecontrol and radar equipment appeared. As a result, the methods of combat use of forces and means of the ground forces, the Air Force and the Navy changed radically, and the effectiveness of combat operations increased sharply. This, of course, caused a response, i.e., led to further development methods and techniques of counteraction to enemy electronic means.
For example, the idea of creating radar interference was first expressed in 1937 by M.A. Bonch-Bruevich, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, when discussing work on radio rangefinders and radio detectors (until 1943, radar stations were called in the USSR until 1943). One of the first applications for an invention in the field of radar countermeasures was filed in May 1939 by engineer Kabanov and was called "Method and Device for Implementing False Object Type Interference with Radio Rangefinders".
EW during the Great Patriotic War
On the holiday of April 15, on the Day of the Electronic Warfare Specialist, it is necessary to note the historical significance of the EW troops for our country during the Great Patriotic War.
AT prewar years manufactured in the Soviet Union prototypes radio interference stations "Storm" in the ultra-shortwave, "Storm-2" - in the medium-wave and "Thunder" - in the short-wave bands to suppress radio channels. Academician Shuleikin, Professor Klyatskin and others took an active part in their development. During the tests, these stations showed high efficiency, but before the start of the Great Patriotic War they were not put into mass production.
A prototype of the "Thunder" jamming station was first used on September 6-12, 1941, when our troops launched a counterattack near Yelnya. In addition, in the first year of the war, counteraction to enemy radio communications was widely and actively carried out by creating interference with the help of regular military radio stations. So, in 1942 at the beginning Battle of Stalingrad a special suppression group, created on the basis of regular radio stations of the Communications Directorate of the Red Army, successfully operated. Their guidance on enemy frequencies and the determination of radio communication violations were carried out by radio intelligence units of the Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff.
For the purpose of radio blockade, when encircling the 6th field army of Paulus, a special group of radio reconnaissance and radio suppression is being formed as part of the Don Front. She had several powerful radio stations, which were aimed at the enemy's radio networks using the means of the 394th separate reconnaissance radio division. To misinform the headquarters of the 6th Army, a special radio station was allocated with the call signs of the headquarters of Manstein's troops, who were trying to release the encircled grouping of Field Marshal Paulus.
After conducting a detailed analysis and summarizing the results of the first experience of creating radio interference during the battles near Stalingrad and making sure that they high efficiency, in early December 1942, People's Commissar of Internal Affairs of the USSR Beria sent a memorandum to the State Defense Committee, which, in particular, noted: "The NKVD of the USSR considers it expedient to organize a special service in the Red Army to clog German radio stations operating on the battlefield."
On December 16, 1942, the State Defense Committee issued Decree N GOKO-2633SS "On the organization in the Red Army special service on the clogging of German radio stations operating on the battlefield", in which tasks of a practical nature were set.
In pursuance of this decree, on December 17, 1942, the Chief of the General Staff, Deputy People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR A.M. Vasilevsky signed Directive N 4869948 "On the formation of a special group and special divisions of radio interference."
In accordance with this document, two separate radio divisions (ORDN) are created special purpose- 131st (commander - Major Petrov) and 132nd (under the command of Major Bushuev), which became part of the Stalingrad and Don fronts, respectively. Later, in 1943 and 1944, the 130th (Captain Lukacher) and 226th (Major Konstantinov) ORDN special forces were formed on the Western and Leningrad fronts, respectively. To coordinate the combat use of these units, a radio mixing service was created at the General Staff, headed by engineer lieutenant colonel Rogatkin, later major general.
Each special forces radio division included from 8 to 10 car radio stations of the RAF-KV type, designed to set radio interference in the HF band, 18-20 reconnaissance receivers of the Virazh and Chaika types, 4 radio direction finders of the 55 PK-ZA and " Corkscrew".
Radio interference stations were usually located 20-30 km from the front line and 3-5 km from the command post (radio receiving center) of the division. The enemy's radio networks were monitored around the clock, during which the main and spare frequencies of enemy radio stations, their location, military affiliation and modes of operation were identified. In addition, the 131st Special Forces Special Forces had a powerful radio interference station "Pchela", which was located on a railway platform and was intended to counter enemy aircraft radio compasses.
Separate radio divisions of special forces took part in all front-line and army operations in 1943-1945, creating interference and conducting radio reconnaissance, radio disinformation and radio demonstrations in false areas of concentration of troops and breaking through enemy defenses. For example, during Belarusian operation in the summer of 1944, the 131st ORDN, while suppressing the radio communications of enemy groups in the Vitebsk region and southeast of Minsk, disrupted the transmission of 522 urgent and 1665 simple radio messages. Particular attention was paid to the disruption of artillery fire control and aviation operations. Simultaneously with the setting of interference in radio control networks, strikes were made on command posts and radar posts of enemy troops.
Very successfully, with the help of radio interference, the control of German formations and associations was violated in January - April 1945 during the East Prussian operation, in which the 131st and 226th special forces took an active part. They managed to prevent the enemy from establishing stable radio communications, although he had 175 radio stations operating in 30 radio networks and at 300 radio frequencies. In total, about 1,200 radiograms were disrupted in the Koenigsberg grouping of the enemy, and more than 1,000 radiograms transmitted from higher headquarters were disrupted in the Zemland grouping.
At the end of the war during Berlin operation EW has reached perfection. It included radio intelligence, radio suppression, disinformation and fire defeat radio facilities command posts and enemy command posts. Radio suppression was carried out by the 130th and 132nd ORDN, which were part of the First Belorussian and First Ukrainian Fronts, respectively. So, from April 25 to May 2, 1945, the 132nd radio division disrupted the radio communications of the headquarters of the encircled Berlin grouping of the enemy, as well as the headquarters of the 9th Army and the 5th Army Corps, which were in the ring south of Berlin. Due to radio interference, German radio operators were forced to repeat the texts of the transmitted radiograms dozens of times. During the days of fierce fighting, the 132nd ORDN disrupted the radio transmission of 170 urgent combat orders and instructions that were not received by the formations and units of the enemy, which significantly affected the outcome of the operation.
It is also necessary to mention the special devices SOL-3 and SOL-ZA, which began to enter the Air Force units from 1942. With their help, aircraft were determined to enter the enemy radar radiation zones. Around the middle of 1943 Soviet aviation interfered with the operation of the radar by chaff dispersed from jammers in the form of metallized paper tapes.
Thus, during the Great Patriotic War, for the first time in world military practice, special radio interference units were formed and widely used to ensure combat operations - separate radio special forces divisions. A lot of experience was gained in conducting reconnaissance and creating radio interference, as well as protecting their RES from enemy radio interference.
Unfortunately, soon after the end of the Great Patriotic War, all radio interference units were reduced and disbanded, which, as subsequent events showed, was a big mistake. In other countries post-war period, covering 1945-1955, was characterized by a successful expansion of the areas of application of radio electronics in military affairs and even more decisive steps to strengthen the fight against electronic means during the preparation and conduct of hostilities.
It was then that the first domestic scientific work on electronic suppression of well-known Soviet scientists and engineers Berg, Shchukin, Kotelnikov, Vvedensky, Shuleikin, Leontovich, Mints appeared. Under the guidance of designers Organov, Vorontsov, Brakhman, Altman, Popov, airborne aircraft jamming stations SPS-1, SPS-2 and ground-based ones - SPB-1 ("Alpha"), SPB-5 ("Beta"), SPB-7 (" Briar") to suppress airborne radars.
Troops are starting to get new technology radio countermeasures, and jamming transmitters onboard radars are being replaced by active jamming stations. Radar passive jamming equipment is also coming into service: dipole reflectors in all wavelength ranges, automata for scattering them from aircraft, corner reflectors and radar absorbing materials to reduce visibility military equipment. To provide effective management means of radio countermeasures appear means of radio and electronic intelligence RPS-1, -3, -5, -6 and POST-2, -3, -ZM. The development of control devices for regular communication radio stations is being resumed with the aim of using them as radio communication and radio navigation interference stations, as well as special ground and air-based radio interference stations.
We sincerely congratulate all the inhabitants of our vast country of Russia on the holiday of April 15, the Day of the Electronic Warfare Specialist. And we wish the military, whose fate is connected with the EW troops of our Motherland - family well-being, happy relatives, loved ones and loved ones, good health and a peaceful sky above your head. Let tomorrow be always confident, and love be mutual and strong!
The modern army is saturated with technologies that give a tactical advantage in conflicts. An example of these are the means of communication and their suppression, through jamming or physical destruction. In Russia, specialists in this military area have their own professional holiday.
When they celebrate
Electronic Warfare Specialist Day is celebrated on April 15. The holiday is not a day off. It was established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 549 dated May 31, 2006 "On the establishment of professional holidays and memorable days in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The document was signed by President V. Putin.
Who is celebrating
All employees of the electronic warfare troops (EW) are related to the celebrations Armed Forces Russian Federation, regardless of the position, rank, length of service. The holiday is considered by support staff, cadets, teachers of specialized higher educational institutions, soldiers and officers who have ever been in the ranks of these units. The events are attended by engineers and developers of communication products and its suppression, their relatives, friends, relatives and close people.
History and traditions of the holiday
The day of the electronic warfare specialist of the Russian Federation originates on May 3, 1999, with the publication of the Order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation No. 183. In it, April 15 was defined as the date of honoring specialists this kind troops. Their importance in the defense of the country, their responsible role in achieving strategic goals was emphasized by Defense Minister I. Sergeev, who signed the document. After 7 years, the president added the event to the list of memorable days in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
By tradition, fellow officers gather at the festive table, toasts are made, congratulations, wishes of health, peace and success in a responsible profession are heard to the clink of glasses. Events continue with family, friends and loved ones. Here they share plans for the future, discuss innovations, tell stories from everyday work.
The command awards employees with certificates of honor, medals, and orders. Acknowledgments are made in personal files. Electronic Warfare Specialist Day 2019 in Russia is accompanied by promotions in ranks and positions for outstanding achievements. The so-called washing of the stars is being carried out, which will soon appear on shoulder straps. On the air of radio stations and television, according to tradition, the holiday is mentioned, stories about the profession, the history of the formation of the military branch are broadcast.
About the profession
Specialists in electronic warfare are engaged in the development and application of measures to prevent the use of communications by the enemy, determining their coordinates, and conducting reconnaissance operations through information communication channels. They place sources of interference, identify the location of transmitters, and use their own forces or attached units to destroy enemy equipment.
The path to the profession begins with an urgent or contract service, as well as receiving education in higher military educational institutions. Officers and soldiers study materiel in service, acquire theoretical knowledge about them and practical handling skills.
The range of tasks performed is so wide that units are always used as part of other branches of the army. Employees belong to the Ground Forces of the Russian Federation and may be among separate brigades, regiments, battalions of electronic warfare. Before being admitted to technology, officers must pass certification, and soldiers must be trained in special center. It presents training samples used in land, sea and aviation units.
Electronic warfare is almost the same age as radio. On April 15, 1904, during the shelling of the fortress of Port Arthur by Russian military specialists, the radio transmissions of two Japanese cruisers - fire spotters were first suppressed, interrupting their messages with a stronger radio signal. The effectiveness of such interference was later recognized by the Japanese themselves, who said that it was difficult to correct the shooting and the shells hit the target. Today, the electronic warfare service is a modern set of tools for the collection and storage of military information, the use of homing devices high precision guidance, carrying out pinpoint lesions purposes, a technique for creating radio interference, the main purpose of which is to protect the country's radio-electronic systems from enemy influences. In 1999, by order of the Minister of Defense of Russia, the Day of an Electronic Warfare Specialist was established, which is celebrated on April 15.

TASS-DOSIER. Every year on April 15, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (RF Armed Forces) celebrate the Day of the Electronic Warfare Specialist - a professional holiday established by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin dated May 31, 2006. Originally celebrated in accordance with the order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Igor Sergeyev dated May 3, 1999 .
Troop history
The history of the formation of the electronic warfare troops (EW) in Russian army counted from April 15 (April 2, old style), 1904. On this day, during Russo-Japanese War signalmen of the squadron battleship Pobeda and the naval telegraph station on Zolotoy Gora managed, by putting radio interference, to disrupt the bombardment by the Japanese armored cruisers Nissin and Kasuga of the Russian squadron and the fortress of Port Arthur, corrected by radio.
Since both sides used the same type of spark transmitters, the enemy's message could be "hammered with a big spark" - more powerful signals from the apparatus. This case was the first in the world military history a step from organizing radio intelligence to conducting electronic warfare in combat operations. In the future, electronic warfare equipment was actively improved, and the practice of their use expanded significantly.
December 16, 1942 by resolution State Committee Defense signed by Commander-in-Chief Joseph Stalin as part of the Directorate military intelligence The General Staff (GSh) of the Red Army formed the Department for the management of the work of interfering radio stations and the task was to form three radio divisions with the means to "drive" enemy radio stations - the first parts of the electronic warfare in the USSR army.
On November 4, 1953, the apparatus of the assistant chief of the General Staff for electronic intelligence and interference was created. In the future, it was repeatedly reorganized and changed names (the 9th department of the General Staff, the Electronic Countermeasures Service of the General Staff, the 5th Directorate of the General Staff, the EW Directorate of the Main Directorate of ACS and EW of the General Staff, etc.).
Current state
Spectrum modern tasks EW troops include electronic reconnaissance and the destruction of electronic means of enemy command and control systems, as well as monitoring the effectiveness of measures taken to electronically protect their forces and means.
In the course of the large-scale reform of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which started in 2008, a vertically integrated electronic warfare system, the general management of it is carried out by the Office of the Chief of the EW Troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Ground and aviation units and electronic warfare units are part of Special Troops RF Armed Forces.
AT ground forces separate brigades EW of four battalions was formed in all four military districts. The brigades are armed with Leer-2 and Leer-3 complexes with Orlan-10 drones, which allow reconnaissance and suppression of tactical radio communications and cellular communication. The electronic warfare unit is also part of a separate motorized rifle arctic brigade as part of the North Joint Strategic Command.
There are separate electronic warfare companies in each of the reformed motorized rifle tank brigades and divisions, as well as in most brigades and divisions Airborne Troops(VDV). Until the beginning of 2017, the electronic warfare companies received all the units of the Airborne Forces, and by 2020 they are planned to be re-equipped with new equipment.
AT Navy(Navy) EW ground forces are integrated into separate EW centers in all four fleets. In the Aerospace Forces (VKS) separate battalions Electronic warfare is part of the air force and air defense armies.
Chief of the EW Troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - Major General Yuri Lastochkin (since August 2014).
Technical equipment
Electronic warfare equipment for the RF Armed Forces is being developed by Radioelectronic Technologies Concern JSC (KRET JSC), which in 2009-2012 united Russian defense enterprises producing military radio electronics.
- In 2010-2013 have been successfully completed state tests 18 new types of electronic warfare equipment.
- Since 2015, new technical means radio suppression of communications, radar and navigation, protection against high-precision weapons, control and support systems: Krasukha-2O, Murmansk-BN, Borisoglebsk-2, Krasukha-S4, Svet-KU, Infauna complexes "," Judoka "and others.
- Mi-8MTPR-1 helicopters equipped with Rychag-AV electronic warfare systems are supplied to the troops (such machines, in particular, can protect military transport aircraft).
- The Vitebsk electronic warfare systems are equipped with Su-25SM attack aircraft modernized for the needs of the Russian Aerospace Forces, and individual elements of the complex are installed on Ka-52, Mi-28, Mi-8MT, Mi-26 and Mi-26T2 helicopters.
- On the frontline bomber Su-34 is installing the Khibiny electronic countermeasures complex.
- Project 20380 corvettes, which are currently replenishing the Russian Navy, carry electronic warfare systems TK-25-2 and PK-10 "Courageous", TK-28 and "Prosvet-M" complexes are being installed on project 22350 frigates under construction.
- In 2016-2017 The Russian Aerospace Forces received three upgraded Il-22PP electronic warfare aircraft ("jammer and associated reconnaissance aircraft").
The current state armaments program provides for bringing the level of provision of EW troops with promising equipment by 2020 to the level of 70%. By 2018, it is planned to create a specialized training ground for EW troops.
Research and teaching
Organization and control scientific work in the EW Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, the Military Scientific Committee of the EW Troops, established in October 2015, is in charge.
The training of officers for the EW troops is carried out by the Air Force Academy named after Professor N. E. Zhukovsky and Yu. Research institute electronic warfare).
Junior EW specialists for all services and arms of the RF Armed Forces are trained at the Interspecific Center for Training and Combat Use of EW Troops in Tambov. On the basis of this center, a scientific company was created in 2015, in which military service graduates of the country's leading specialized universities, combining it with research on the topic of electronic warfare. In 2016, a new integrated training simulator complex "Itog" was equipped on the territory of the Interspecies Center.
