14.09.2024
During the Ocean 2024 strategic naval drills, the Baltic Fleet's electronic warfare unit practised suppressing navigation and radio communication equipment of the mock enemy.
During practical operations at the training ground, electronic warfare units used Leer-3 unmanned aerial vehicles, automated jamming stations, the Borisoglebsk-1 system, the Lava-RP cellular communications jamming system, as well as other special equipment.
While the columns of military equipment were moving, the operators of the mobile systems suppressed radio signals to protect the units from the radio-operated mines. In addition, EW units jammed the communications systems between field air controllers and aiming system of the high-precision guided missile weapons of the mock enemy.
Analysis of the exercise results showed that the Baltic Fleet's EW systems were highly effective, and confirmed the servicemen's readiness to use them. More than 100 servicemen and over 20 pieces of military and special hardware were involved in the combat training.
