The best reb equipment in the world is more modern than modern. The best electronic warfare equipment in the world - more modern than modern

Located in the village of Stroitel, Tambov region, not far from the regional center. Deployed in part 15 separate brigade electronic warfare(EW). It carries out a deliberate impact on the enemy's radio-electronic objects and the protection of its own command and control systems for troops and weapons using radio emission. A distinctive characteristic of electronic warfare is the remoteness of carrying out information operations, during which the personnel are significantly removed from the object of influence.

History of military unit 71615

For the first time, the term "electronic warfare" appeared in Russia in 1969, although radio communications to counter the enemy began to be used as early as the beginning of the 20th century. AT separate view troops, units and subunits of electronic warfare were allocated only 40 years later. In 2009 based on the 225th separate regiment EW, located at that time, in military unit 64055, in the city of Novomoskovsk, Tula region, the 15th EW brigade was formed. April 21, 2011 she received a combat symbol - battle banner, and in the same year was relocated to the Tambov region in the military unit 71615.

Service in the 15th separate electronic warfare brigade

Military unit 71615 was located on the territory of the former Tambov military school, which is why the village of Stroitel, locals called - "Infantry". The premises of the educational institution were perfect for accommodating the administrative apparatus, classrooms and barracks. Accommodation in the barracks is quite comfortable, each has: 4 shower rooms, 1 rest room and a room for sports. The military serving under the contract are placed separately from the military conscripts. Household duties are performed by civilian workers. Fighters are involved in them only once a week - on Saturdays.

Upon arrival at the unit, within a period not exceeding 30 days, recruits master the course of a young soldier, after which they are sworn in. Traditionally, the military oath ceremony is held on Saturdays and relatives are allowed to attend.
From time to time, military personnel are taken to field exercises, which, as a rule, take place at the training ground of the village of Tregulay, 5 km away. from Tambov.

The monetary allowance of military personnel goes to the card of VTB Bank, "contract servicemen" - 2 times a month, "conscripts" - 1 time.

Medical care and nutrition

Every day, the unit conducts an inspection of the rank and file to identify diseases or injuries, which is one of the measures to prevent hazing, which, according to those who have been in the unit, is absent here. Medical care and treatment is carried out in the infirmary at the unit or in the military hospital in Tambov.
There is a dining room and a tea room in the part. Great importance is attached to the quality of food, so it is constantly checked for compliance with sanitary standards.

EW RF Armed Forces. Dossier

Every year on April 15, the Armed Forces (AF) of the Russian Federation celebrate the Day of an electronic warfare specialist - professional holiday, established by the decree of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin of May 31, 2006. Initially celebrated in accordance with the order of the Minister defense of the Russian Federation Igor Sergeev dated May 3, 1999

History of EW Troops

The history of the formation of the electronic warfare troops (EW) in the Russian army is counted from April 15 (April 2, O.S.), 1904. On this day, during the Russo-Japanese War, signalmen from the Pobeda squadron battleship and the naval telegraph station on Zolotoy Gora managed to , putting radio interference, to disrupt the shelling 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.

On December 16, 1942, by a resolution of the State Defense Committee signed by Commander-in-Chief Joseph Stalin, as part of the Military Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff (GSh) of the Red Army, a Department was formed to manage 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 units of electronic warfare in the army of the USSR.

On November 4, 1953, the apparatus of the assistant chief of the General Staff for electronic intelligence and interference was created. In the future, he repeatedly reorganized and changed names (9th department of the General Staff, Electronic Countermeasures Service of the General Staff, 5th Directorate of the General Staff, EW Department Main Directorate of ACS and EW General Staff, etc.).

Current state

Spectrum contemporary 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 RF Armed Forces that started in 2008, a vertically integrated electronic warfare system was formed, which is generally managed by the Office of the Chief of the EW Troops of the RF Armed Forces. Ground and aviation units and electronic warfare units are part of Special Troops RF Armed Forces.

In the Ground Forces, separate EW brigades of four battalions have been 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 communications. 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 EW companies in each of the reformed motorized rifle tank brigades and divisions, as well as in most brigades and divisions. Airborne Troops(VDV). By 2017, EW companies will receive all airborne units, 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 EW battalions are part of the Air Force and Air Defense armies.

Technical equipment

Electronic warfare equipment for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is being developed by JSC Concern Radioelectronic Technologies (JSC KRET), which in 2009-2012. united Russian defense enterprises producing military radio electronics. In 2010-2013 state tests of 18 new types of electronic warfare equipment were successfully completed.

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-C4, Svet-KU, Infauna complexes ”,“ Judoist ”, etc.

Mi-8MTPR-1 helicopters equipped with electronic warfare systems"Lever-AV" (such machines, in particular, can protect military aircraft transport aviation). 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.

The Khibiny electronic countermeasures complex is being installed on the Su-34 front-line bomber. Project 20380 corvettes, which are currently replenishing the composition of the Russian Navy, carry the TK-25-2 and PK-10 Smely electronic warfare systems, the TK-28 and Prosvet-M complexes are being installed on project 22350 frigates under construction.

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%.

Share of the latest electronic warfare technology

The share of modern equipment in the electronic warfare troops in 2016 was 46%. In accordance with the plans for equipping the electronic warfare units under the state defense order, about 300 basic models of equipment and more than 1,000 small-sized equipment were delivered to the troops.

The measures taken made it possible to re-equip 45% of military units and electronic warfare units with modern complexes, such as Murmansk-BN, Krasukha, Borisoglebsk-2 and others.

These are practically all groups of electronic warfare equipment: radio suppression equipment, radar and radio navigation, protection against the WTO, control and support equipment. Considerable attention is paid to the development of electronic warfare technology against unmanned aerial vehicles.

Educational establishments

The training of officers for the EW troops of the Russian Armed Forces is conducted by the Air Force Academy named after Professor N. E. Zhukovsky and Yu. A. Gagarin in Voronezh, junior electronic warfare specialists for all types and branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they are trained at the Interspecific Center for Training and Combat Use of EW Troops in Tambov.

On the basis of the center, in 2015, a scientific company was created, in which graduates of the country's leading specialized universities are doing military service, combining it with research on the topic of electronic warfare. In 2016, a new Itog integrated training simulator complex will be equipped on the territory of the Interspecies Center.

Management

Chief of the EW Troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - Major General Yuri Lastochkin (since August 2014).

EW aviation systems

As the ex-head of the electronic warfare service said Air force, now adviser to the first deputy general director of the Radioelectronic Technologies Concern (KRET) Vladimir Mikheev, the survivability of aircraft with modern complexes EW is increased by 20-25 times.

If earlier active jamming stations (SAP) were installed on aircraft, today all aircraft are equipped with airborne defense systems (ABS). Their main difference from the SAP is that the ACS is fully integrated and interfaced with all the avionics of an aircraft, helicopter or drone.

Defense complexes exchange with on-board computers all the necessary information:

About flight, combat missions,
about the purposes and routes of flight of the protected object,
about the capabilities of their weapons,
about the real radio-electronic situation on the air,
about potential threats.

In the event of any danger, they can adjust the route so that the protected object does not enter the fire impact zone, ensuring electronic destruction (suppression) of the most dangerous means Air defense and enemy aircraft, while simultaneously increasing the combat effectiveness of their weapons.

"Vitebsk"

Complex "Vitebsk"

One of the most effective airborne defense systems. It is designed to protect aircraft and helicopters from anti-aircraft missiles with radar and optical (thermal) guidance heads.

"Vitebsk" is installed on:

Modernized attack aircraft Su-25SM,
attack helicopters Ka-52, Mi-28N,
transport and combat helicopters of the Mi-8 family,
heavy transport helicopters Mi-26 and Mi-26T2,
special and civil aircraft and helicopters of domestic production.

The new modification of "Vitebsk", which is just beginning to enter the troops, will be installed on board aircraft and helicopters of transport aviation.

It is planned to equip the Il-76, Il-78, An-72, An-124, which are already in service with the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation, as well as the promising Il-112V transport aircraft, with this system.

The implementation of this program will allow short time to significantly increase the combat stability of transport aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

The Vitebsk complex is already being equipped with Ka-52 and Mi-28 attack helicopters, Su-25 attack aircraft, Mi-8MTV and Mi-8AMTSh transport and combat helicopters. It is designed to protect aircraft from enemy anti-aircraft missiles with infrared, radar or combined homing heads. This system allows you to track the launch of a missile within a radius of several hundred kilometers from the aircraft and "steer" the missile away from the target.

In the future, Vitebsk will receive military transport aircraft of the Il-76MD-90A type.

There is also an export version of the complex called "President-S", which is very popular in the foreign market and is supplied to a number of countries that operate Russian aviation equipment.

The airborne defense complex "President-S" is designed for individual protection of military and civil aircraft and helicopters from being hit by air and anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as anti-aircraft artillery air defense systems of the enemy, land-based and sea-based. "President-S", in particular, is installed on the Ka-52, Mi-28 and Mi-26 helicopters.

The complex is able to detect the threat of an attack by the protected aircraft fighters, anti-aircraft missile and artillery systems of the enemy. It can destroy and suppress the optical homing heads of aircraft and anti-aircraft guided missiles, including the homing heads of man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems.

"Lever-AB"

According to the Deputy General Director of the Kazan Optical and Mechanical Plant, which produces this equipment, Alexei Panin, the supply of the basic version of the modernized Rychag-AV electronic warfare systems (EW) on the Mi-8MTPR-1 helicopter will be provided in the near future.

Currently, the concern "Radioelectronic Technologies" is completing development work on this product.

It is planned to manufacture new electronic warfare systems on the chassis of KamAZ trucks.

Earlier, the Russian military received ahead of schedule three Mi-8MTPR-1 electronic warfare helicopters, the equipment of which makes it possible to protect groups of aircraft, ships and ground equipment from air attacks within a radius of several hundred kilometers, suppressing several targets at once.

"Rychag-AV" actually provides electronic suppression of the guidance system for enemy aircraft and ground targets, that is, it can "blind" them.

In conditions of interference from the "Lever" system anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as enemy air interception systems, are deprived of the ability to detect any targets and direct guided missiles of the air-to-air, ground-to-air and air-to-ground classes at them, while survivability and combat effectiveness their aviation is increasing significantly.

The carrier of this complex is the most massive Russian helicopter Mi-8.

A specialized helicopter is a jammer whose main task is to provide electronic countermeasures and create a false environment to cover their aircraft or helicopters, as well as protect the most important ground targets.

"Khibiny"

In 2013, the Khibiny electronic countermeasures complex, designed to protect aircraft from air defense systems, entered service with the RF Armed Forces.

The Khibiny complex differs from the stations of the previous generation by increased power and intelligence. It is able to help control the aircraft's weapons, create a false electronic environment, and also ensure a breakthrough in the enemy's layered air defense.

This happened to the American destroyer Donald Cook in 2014, when the Su-24 aircraft was taken for escort by naval air defense systems.

Then information appeared on the ship's radars that put the crew in a dead end. The plane either disappeared from the screens, then unexpectedly changed its location and speed, then created electronic clones of additional targets. At the same time, information and combat systems the destroyer's weapon controls were practically blocked. Given that the ship was located 12,000 km from US territory in the Black Sea, it is easy to imagine the feelings experienced by the sailors on this ship.

Now a new Khibiny-U complex for front-line aircraft, in particular the Su-30SM, is under development.

"Himalayas"

This complex is further development"Khibiny", it is "sharpened" for the fifth generation T-50 aircraft (PAK FA).

Its main difference from its predecessor is that the Khibiny is a kind of container that is suspended on the wing, occupying a certain suspension point, while the Himalayas are fully integrated into the board and are made as separate elements of the aircraft fuselage.

The antenna systems of the complex are built on the principle of "smart plating" and allow you to perform several functions at once: reconnaissance, electronic warfare, location, etc. The complex will be able to put active and passive interference to infrared homing heads modern missiles, as well as modern and advanced radar stations.

The characteristics of this complex are still classified, since the T-50 aircraft is the latest fifth-generation fighter and has not yet been adopted by the Russian Aerospace Forces.

Su-34 is equipped with electronic warfare

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation received in 2016 several complexes that make it possible to make an electronic warfare aircraft (EW) out of the Su-34 bomber.

This complex allows the aircraft to protect not only itself, but the entire system. Thanks to these complexes, the survivability of aircraft is increased by 20-25%.

Ground-based electronic warfare systems

Modern ground-based electronic warfare systems operate in the digital signal processing mode, which helps to significantly increase their efficiency.

Digital technology has a large electronic library memory and reports to the operator the types of enemy equipment, and also offers him the most effective jamming signals and optimal algorithms for possible countermeasures.

Previously, the operator of the electronic warfare station had to independently determine the type of the tracked object from the characteristics of the reconnaissance signal and select the type of interference for it.

"Krasukha-S4"

This complex has incorporated all the best of electronic warfare technology previous generations. In particular, Krasuha inherited a unique antenna system from its predecessor, the SPN-30 jamming station.

Another advantage of the new system is almost full automation. If earlier the system was controlled manually, then in Krasukha-4 the principle is implemented: “do not touch the equipment, and it will not let you down”, that is, the role of the operator is reduced to the role of an observer, and the main mode of operation is centralized automated control.

The main purpose of Krasukha-S4 is to cover command posts, groupings of troops, air defense systems, important industrial facilities from aerial radar reconnaissance and high-precision weapons.

The capabilities of the complex's broadband active jamming station make it possible to effectively deal with all modern radar stations used by aircraft various types, as well as cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles.

"Krasukha-20"

This version of "Krasukha" is designed for electronic countermeasures American systems early warning and control (AWACS) AWACS.

AWACS is the most powerful reconnaissance and control aircraft with a whole crew on board. In order to "blind" this plane, you need a lot of energy. So, the power and intelligence of the second "Krasukha" is enough to compete with this aircraft.

The entire complex is deployed within a few minutes, without human intervention, and after deployment, it is able to “turn off” AWACS at a distance of several hundred kilometers.

"Moscow-1"

The complex is designed to conduct electronic reconnaissance (passive radar), interact and exchange information with the command posts of the anti-aircraft missile and radio engineering troops, aviation guidance points, issue target designation and control interference units and individual means of electronic suppression.

The structure of "Moscow-1" includes a reconnaissance module and a control center for interference units (stations).

The complex is capable of:

Carry radio and electronic intelligence at a distance of up to 400 km,
classify all radio-emitting means according to the degree of danger,
provide road support
ensure target distribution and display of all information,
provide reverse control of the efficiency of the units and individual electronic warfare assets that it manages.

The “debut” of the Moskva complexes took place in March 2016 as part of the joint tactical exercises of the air defense and aviation forces in the Astrakhan region.

The state defense order for the Moscow-1 and Rtut-BM electronic warfare systems was completed ahead of schedule. In 2015, the Russian army received nine Moscow-1 electronic warfare systems.

"Infauna"

The complex, developed by the United Instrument-Making Corporation (OPK), provides radio reconnaissance and radio suppression, protection of manpower, armored and automotive vehicles from aimed fire from melee weapons and grenade launchers, as well as from radio-controlled mine-explosive devices.

Broadband radio reconnaissance equipment significantly increases the radius of protection of covered mobile objects from radio-controlled mines. The ability to install aerosol curtains allows you to hide equipment from high-precision weapons with video and laser guidance systems.

Currently, these complexes on a unified wheeled chassis K1Sh1 (BTR-80 base) are mass-produced and supplied to various units of the Armed Forces.

"Borisoglebsk-2"

This is a complex of electronic suppression (REP), also developed by the defense industry, is technical basis parts of electronic warfare tactical formations.

Designed for radio reconnaissance and radio jamming of HF, VHF ground and aviation radio communications, subscriber terminals for cellular and trunk communications in tactical and operational-tactical control levels.

The complex is based on three types of jamming stations and a command post located on MT-LBu armored personnel carriers - a traditional tracked base for ground facilities EW. Each complex includes up to nine units of mobile equipment.

The complex implemented fundamentally new technical solutions for the construction of radio reconnaissance and automated systems management. In particular, broadband energetically and structurally secretive signals are used, which provide noise-proof and high-speed data transmission.

The range of reconnaissance and suppressed frequencies has been more than doubled compared to previously supplied jamming stations, and the frequency detection rate has been increased by more than 100 times.

Marine electronic warfare systems

These complexes are designed to protect ships of various classes from reconnaissance and fire damage. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that for each ship, depending on its type, displacement, as well as the tasks it solves, there is a special set of electronic warfare equipment.

The composition of ship complexes includes:

Radio and electronic intelligence stations,
active and passive means of electronic warfare,
automata that provide ship camouflage in various physical fields,
devices for shooting false targets, etc.

All these systems are integrated with the ship's fire and information assets to increase the survivability and combat effectiveness of the ship.

TK-25E and MP-405E

They are the main ship-based electronic warfare systems. They provide protection against the use of radio-controlled air and ship-based weapons by creating active and passive interference.

TK-25E ensures the creation of impulse misinformation and imitation interference using digital copies of signals for ships of all main classes. The complex is capable of simultaneously analyzing up to 256 targets and providing effective protection for the ship.

MP-405E- for equipping ships of small displacement.

It is able to prevent detection, analyze, and also classify the types of emitting electronic means and their carriers according to the degree of danger, as well as provide electronic suppression of all modern and promising funds reconnaissance and destruction of the enemy.

Russian electronic warfare equipment is superior to Western counterparts in a number of characteristics, including range.

The main advantages of domestic electronic warfare equipment over foreign analogues include its greater range, which is achieved through the use of more powerful transmitters and more efficient antenna systems.

Russian electronic warfare equipment has advantages in terms of the number of targets that are affected, the possibility of its more effective combat use due to the implementation of a flexible control structure, both for electronic warfare systems and for individual models of equipment that operate autonomously and as part of conjugated pairs.

"Infauna": a weapon that "cuts down" an entire fleet

How to repel an enemy air raid without firing a single missile? How important is a sense of proportion in organizing communications and command and control? And why is the computer in the hands of a soldier with higher education could it be worse than an automatic? About this and many other things, the correspondent of "Defend Russia" was told at the Tambov center for training electronic warfare troops.

In the second half of the twentieth century, electronic warfare units (EW) began to appear in the armies of the leading countries of the world. For decades, their main tasks have been to suppress enemy radio communication systems, as well as navigation, reconnaissance and destruction equipment using radars.

House of electronic warfare

Members of the Russian Armed Forces, like their foreign colleagues, carry out this work in three main areas - air, sea and land, and if necessary, they can also extinguish signals coming from space satellites. Counteraction to technical intelligence in information networks can also be attributed to the competence of the EWs, however, this area of their service is one of the most closed, so it is difficult to say this unequivocally.

Today, the command staff and operators of electronic warfare equipment are being trained at the unique Russian center for the training and combat use of electronic warfare troops in Tambov. More than one and a half thousand specialists are trained annually, from a soldier-operator to a company commander.

Conscripts are trained according to a five-month program, during which time soldiers learn how to handle complex equipment, to a certain extent comprehend the theory of electronic warfare, and also practice skills on simulators and real combat systems. Military training contract service- as a rule, these are people with an average technical education- somewhat shorter: depending on the tasks, the training cycle lasts from ten days to three months. On the longest cycle, contractors are being trained as heads of radio interference stations. Officers also undergo a three-month training, after which they are certified for the position of commander of a platoon or company of electronic warfare.
