The Director of Russia's Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, Dmitry Shugayev, provided an update on the country's electronic warfare (EW) systems. He emphasized the ongoing need for development due to the rapid pace of technological change.
MOSCOW, May 20. /TASS/. Russian electronic warfare (EW) systems are continuously being enhanced, Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) Dmitry Shugayev told reporters.
"Our own EW systems are undergoing continuous enhancement. Much is being done to ensure our EW systems are state-of-the-art. Everything is changing so rapidly these days, and, sadly, they quickly become obsolete, so technical solutions must stay ahead of today’s needs. There are a lot of countermeasure systems which, for various reasons, mostly technical ones, become ineffective after some time. Therefore, science and all related production facilities are working nonstop to offer and invent ever newer and more effective solutions. Therefore, our industry, our scientists, and our designers are working, as they say, 24/7. This is an objective necessity," Shugayev said.
