Modern military equipment cannot be imagined without a huge number of electronic components. Not surprisingly, their damage entails the non-functional weapons. So the latest means of electronic warfare, such as “the Lever AB" is a critical component of any modern army.
EW, that is electronic warfare, involves impact through targeted interference to radio AIDS to control the enemy, his communication, information flows with the parallel protection of their systems from possible similar opposition from the enemy.
This can be used active and passive means. The first category includes noise generators and transmitters. Under “passive” refers to the different categories of reflectors, which obstruct the passage of radio waves and at the same time distort them. Parts of EW are one of the most important, being even a part of rocket parts. It is from their work depends largely on the accuracy of missile guidance, as the enemy probably will be hard to resist.
The hardest with active interference, as they are very diverse and for generation demand costs substantial amounts of energy. To create them use special generators and transmitters, which in many countries began immediately after world war II. These signals distort or score the “white noise" of the impulses that go from enemy radar.

Without the ability to pass through space, waves or distorted, giving the impression of multiple goals, or even disappear, leaving the radar screens empty. Thus, active interference are divided into two types: inhibitory and distorting.
The degree of importance of electronic warfare said special attention in the case of a full-scale war. So, in the instructions for the air defense fighters (both ours and American) black and white States that the first should destroy enemy planes equipped with electronic warfare. Simply put, in the event of an impact of a potential enemy first had to be destroyed not even tactical bombers, and "Prowler" the EA-6B or the Hercules EC-130Н.
And this despite the fact that this technique generally has no weapons... So EW specialists are always on the cutting edge of defence. Moreover, in foreign sources there are no term “electronic warfare”. It uses the expression “electronic… war”. In terms of the value plays of the modern high-tech equipment in the army, it is quite justified.
The most Important task of specialists of radio-electronic struggle (or war) is a “stunning” of the enemy, depriving him of the opportunity to see and hear through your “eyes and ears”. Especially important from the first minute of the fight (and, ideally – before him) to jam enemy radar and/or withdraw their strike aircraft or missile parts.
If EW is working perfectly, that their own shock and fighter aircraft gets a chance to battle straight to the enemy, being perfectly invisible. In this case, the enemy can only use visual targeting, which, given the speed of modern aircraft reduces the possibility of air defense to almost zero.
Best – the most sophisticated missiles worth millions of dollars each in this situation are useless junk, blinded and “mindless”. Even the rise of the interceptors, the situation cardinally will not change. Without adjustment from the earth, their ability to detect enemy aircraft is very small, and the risk of lost equipment and the pilot is very high.
Currently, the domestic defence industry has somewhat recovered from a deep systemic crisis, but because now is intensively developing the latest high-tech examples of these types of weapons. A huge role is played by the Kazan optical-mechanical plant. He is part of a huge KRET (concern “radio-Electronic technology»). The products of this holding – a major component of security throughout our country.
At this plant develops complex “Arm-AB». In the beginning of last year some samples of electronic warfare systems have already been transferred to our military to conduct their field tests. It is reported that the entire State order for 2015 was implemented in full compliance with deadlines, and work is already under way (as of identifying any deficiencies) modernization “Arm-AB".
Are There any other means of electronic warfare, develop and manufacture in our country? Yes. For example, «Vitebsk”: EW this is produced by the same group, and the features are similar.
The Purpose of «Vitebsk” - protection of various militaryequipment. In contrast to the “Leverage”, the system generates full-sized "dome" which protects not only the specific helicopter or airplane, but all that falls into its scope. The complex can also work as a standalone Director active interference, being mounted on a helicopter or a specially equipped AWACS aircraft.
What more valuable “Vitebsk”? EW, this can automatically scan the surrounding space, determines in real-time who and from what distance carries out the scanning technique. With enemy equipment immediately removed digital “cast”, which allows subsequently to determine the type and the type of equipment a potential enemy. In addition, «Vitebsk” able almost immediately to calculate the location of enemy equipment study phase of its work and “fit” under existing conditions a certain strategy of protection of the equipment.
Moreover, this EW plant can also form a whole “the squadron” about the purposes for “destruction” which the enemy will waste its resources, time and energy. Only one aircraft equipped with ‘activists’, may waste power an entire squadron of interceptors, forcing the enemy vehicles to go to intercept virtual goals. In short, the EW system is vital to a modern army. It is important to not only blinding electronics of the enemy, but it “cheating” when the transmission system is the most important tactical data can be incorporated by sending false data.
KRET also has plans for the evolutionary development of existing electronic warfare, focusing on the data that will be obtained during operation and testing new products. So, for 2017 scheduled to start production of a modernized version of the complex, which will be made to those changes, the need for which will be revealed in field trials. Currently, work is underway on mass production of a new “Leverage”.
Main feature “Arm-AB" is that its designers have created a separate modification of complex, specially designed for installation on helicopters Mi-8. The index of such machines - the Mi-8МТПР-1. What is breakthrough? The fact that “eight” is a real worker of the sky. These helicopters are widely used in our country and abroad, they are equally useful for peaceful life and war.
But in the latter case the life of the pilot and cargo safety are in great danger, as no armor Mi-8 has no protection from air defense systems it has no. The presence on Board of the helicopter electronic warfare system – a real opportunity to significantly increase the survivability of the machine in combat, as well as the effectiveness of the use of missiles «air-to-ground" of counteracting the enemy's air defense systems.
Representatives of the defense industry is not too eager to talk about the features of the new products but some information to journalists paramilitary publications gets. As you know, the group “radio-Electronic technology» produces this equipment is intended for conducting electronic warfare in various conditions, at any time of day and regardless of meteorological factors. We are discussing the complex can be mounted on any domestic helicopter, which greatly improves the flexibility and increases the possibility of its application.
The index of the “AV” refers to his aircraft "pedigree". In addition, there is a lot of information about running create other variants of the complex, intended for installation on other military equipment. In particular, the creation of machinery for the parts of the air defense and strategic missile forces, which will protect launchers and SAM, blinding nominated for their destruction of the planes and missiles of the enemy. It should be noted that currently no official information on these options is complex at all. While some data is only about how the system “Arm-AB» works on helicopters Mi-8.
As we said, so far known only for some background information, which, however, some conclusions still can be done. Thus, according to domestic media are working directly with the Ministry of defence, the new facility is capable of suppression of electronic activity of the enemy at ranges up to 100 kilometers. Thus, the range allows with sufficient degree of reliability to cover the calculations of air defense systems without visual detection by the enemy. This is especially good when military operations conducted in enemy favourable weather conditions. It is also known that work can be carried out simultaneously for several purposes.
If the system “Arm-AB" is placed on the Mi-8 helicopter, the latter is in the process of upgrading and some modernisation. So, in the cargo Bay are mounted the containers for the equipment, Dobroudja side wiring to the system is supplied electricity with the necessary voltages, etc. On the sides of the mounted phased array antenna which is required radiation “Lever”.
According to unofficial data, the role of the multibeam antennas are used in phased array. A helicopter carrying on Board this complex, among others to distinguish simply enough. It's especially noticeable two antennas, which are installed in front of the tail machine Department.
But what about the crew? It is known that similar systems produced by radiation is safe for human health to name just will not work… to avoid negative effects on the machine is a special screening. It not only protects the crew from the powerful electromagnetic radiation, but also prevents the failure of the onboard equipment of the helicopter, which is also “concerned” by the radiation of this device. As work in a radius of a hundred kilometres requires an extremely high power signal, installation of additional shielding is vital.
According to unconfirmed reports, the jammer “Arm-AB" is not only able to extinguish the radiation of the devices of the enemy, but also to collect their characteristics and make special "Rolodex" of signals. Why is this necessary? In the case of samobytnosti: “smarter” set “Arm-AB" is able not only to determine characteristics of the target, but also automatically pick up the radiation power required for neutralization of certain equipment.
Thus, the system not only can flexibly adapt to different work conditions, but also independently collect information about the new devices of the enemy, which was not yet in the database at the time of creation of the complex.
It would be Interesting to know if the jammer can synchronize this data with other EW “Arm-AB", but so far this information in the press not covered. Most likely, the opportunity is there, and it simply must be, because the loss of one of the complex will entail the loss of accumulated data.
There is evidence that the Mi-8 helicopters, equipped with this system, can counter the enemy's air defense systems, act to suppress its communication and control, as well as to protect their troops from the electronic warfare of the enemy, which he will actively use on certain parts of the front.
As of 2015, the Kazan helicopter plant has fully fulfilled the plan of the Ministry of defence for the supply of helicopters equipped with electronic control even in the base set. It should be noted that the first machine was delivered to the customer at the very beginning of the year. Most likely, the work continues to this day, as no complaints from the military in terms of delivery has not been received.
We Know that “Arm-AB" (EW plant protection group) has been undergoing a major modernization. It is known that it is planned to build several radius its possible use to develop special versions for boats and ground vehicles, as well as improve self-protection of the complex from the means of resistance of the enemy. Most likely, all the options of this jamming stations will be operated in parallel to the army, constantly going through the process modernization.
