Electronic warfare is a key part of modern warfare in 2019U.S. Air ForceThe change of electronic warfare to electromagnetic warfare is an upgrade from earlier electronic warfare. Electromagnetic warfare refers to the interference, attack, or control of electromagnetic waves radiated from all electromagnetic spectrums with the aim of suppressing the enemyRadar, navigation, communication and other systems to achieve operational objectives such as blindness, deafness, and collapse of the command system. Electromagnetic warfare plays a vital role in modern warfare, whether it is in air warfare, naval warfare, or land warfare, it can play an important combat effectiveness. And in 1999Kosovo WarMedium,U.S. militarySuppressed the Yugoslav Federation by a large-scale electromagnetic attackRadar, navigation, communication and other systems, so that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia can not communicate withU.S. militaryHead-to-head engagement.
In an electromagnetic exchange 29 years ago, the Chinese People's Liberation Army andU.S. militaryA fierce naval and air confrontation took place in the waters of the Yellow Sea. U.S. militaryUtilize ship-basedElectronic warfareThe aircraft launched an electromagnetic offensive, creating hundreds of air targets approaching the coast of China, but the PLA learned its lesson and did not take off a large group of aircraft to intercept it, but sent several fighters to conduct reconnaissance, and finally found out that it wasU.S. militaryofElectronic warfareThe plane is playing tricks behind it. This confrontation made the PLA aware of the importance of electromagnetic warfare, as well as how to deal with itElectronic warfareThe difficulty of the aircraft simulating the challenges of multiple air targets.
Over the past 29 years, the PLA has made great progress in the field of electronic warfare. Today, the electronic warfare equipment of the PLA is withU.S. militaryThere is no significant generation difference, and there are even advantages in some aspects. Y-8EW electronic warfare aircraftandJ-16D electronic warfare aircraftIt is one of the main electronic warfare equipment of the PLA. Y-8EW electronic warfare aircraftis based onY-8 transport aircraftDeveloped with enough space to carry a large number of complex electronic warfare systems and equipment, it can carry out electromagnetic offensive and suppress the enemyRadarand so on. WhileJ-16D electronic warfare aircraftis based onJ-16 fighterDeveloped with a long range and powerful combat capabilities, it can carry out electronic warfare while also carrying out ground, sea and air strikes.
United StatesNavyThe former commander of the 7th Fleet, Joseph Okuan, has publicly stated that China has JeanU.S. militaryThe "awe-inspiring" electronic warfare capability calls China's electronic warfare capability "all-encompassing." This shows that before 2017, the PLA already had strong electromagnetic combat capabilities. With the new typeElectronic warfareWith the continuous installation of aircraft, the overall electromagnetic combat capability of the PLA will continue to be improved.
To sum up, electromagnetic warfare is of great strategic significance in modern warfare, and the PLA already has a strong electromagnetic combat capability and has made tremendous progress in electronic warfare equipment and technology. withU.S. militaryWhen it comes to electromagnetic combat, the PLA already has enough strength to fight against it.
