History of the Center for the Training and Combat Use of Electronic Warfare Troops
The Training Center was formed in 1962. In the Voronezh region, in the city of Borisoglebsk, 27 specialized school for the training of radio intelligence and radio interference specialists was created. In 1975, the institution was transferred to the village of Pekhotka (Tambov). In 2009, the school received the name of the 1084th Interspecies Training Center for Electronic Warfare Troops.
The structure and life of the Tambov training center
The training of specialists lasts 5 months and they are assigned to military units for further service. Only 5% of all cadets remain in the training center, they are awarded the rank of sergeant. Cadets are trained in methods of fighting the enemy in the radio-electronic sphere, methods for reducing the quality of communications in the enemy's troops, and methods of using their own means of destruction.
The cadets are engaged in physical and drill training 4 hours a day, all the rest of the time is devoted to exercises on virtual training simulators.
Field exercises of cadets are also taking place at a training ground near Tambov.
On Saturday, the school day is traditionally an economic and bath day.
The soldiers live in barracks, rooms are designed for 5-6 people, there is a washing machine and a machine for drying clothes in the block. Also in the buildings there is a recreation room, gyms, a library. Classes for classes with the latest equipment and interactive visual aids are located on the territory of the unit.
The canteen, the medical unit, the infirmary are located in separate buildings, but on the territory of the unit.
There is a VTB Bank ATM at the checkpoint.
Hazing in a military unit
In the military unit number 61460 are not observed. Firstly, every day soldiers are examined for diseases or bodily injuries, and secondly, all servicemen are of the same age and conscription.
Oath-taking event by cadets
Before the oath, soldiers are not allowed to make mobile phone calls, and only a week before the ceremony they are allowed to call to inform their relatives about the time and date of taking the oath. Usually the gala event takes place on Saturday morning.
At the end of the official part of the event, a conversation is held with the parents of the conscripts, after which the soldiers receive a leave of absence (for several hours), which they spend with relatives and friends.
Communication with a conscript
Visits to military personnel are allowed on Saturday and Sunday, and on the rest of the week, meetings are possible only at the checkpoint.
Conversations with cadets by mobile phone are allowed on Sunday morning until lights out. During training time, they are all confiscated and held by the company commander.
If a soldier is placed in a military hospital or infirmary, you can visit him at any time with a pass.
How to get to the military unit of Tambov - training center
Direct buses and trains to Tambov leave from Moscow from Paveletsky and Kazansky train stations. The schedule can be found on the spot.
The military unit is located near the train station, about 10 minutes walk under the bridge. The part's checkpoint is located to the right of the bridge.
You can get there using the minibus taxi number 45, get off at the stop "Railway College" or "Eletskaya" and walk a few blocks.
By car, you need to enter the city from Michurinskoye Highway, continue the journey all the time straight to the bus station, pass the regulated intersection there and move straight for another 500 meters to the monument to the plane (there is also the necessary checkpoint next to it).
In the article above, we examined the military units of Tambov.
Electronic warfare complex "Moscow-1" / Photo: nevskii-bastion.ru
On July 13, more than 1,000 conscripts who arrived at the Tambov Interspecies Center for the Training and Combat Use of Electronic Warfare (EW) troops began training in 23 specialties on more than 40 types of electronic warfare and integrated technical control (CPC) products.
One of the main features of training for the positions of junior specialists will be training in the operation of new electronic warfare systems, and "Leer-3". At the same time, the complexes, "Krasukha-20" and training of cadets will be carried out for the first time. This is due, first of all, to the arrival of the newest types of weapons and military equipment of electronic warfare in the troops. Note that in 2014, more than 10 units of electronic warfare troops were re-equipped with modern equipment.
Training of cadets will take place in three stages: improvement of initial military training, combined arms training and training in the specialty. The main focus of the educational process will be on practical work on equipment, including at night.
In the new training period, a significant part of the classes is devoted to practical exercises on specialized industrial simulators and computer simulators developed by specialists of the Tambov Interspecies Center for the Training and Combat Use of Electronic Warfare Troops.
The four-month training will end with exams and obtaining a certificate of an electronic warfare (CPC) specialist, then the servicemen will be sent to formations, military units and electronic warfare (CPC) units as operators and senior operators, the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports.
Technical reference
Complexes developed and adopted by the Russian army "Krasuha" are complexes of electronic suppression (REP) and protection. REP is a set of actions and measures that are aimed at disrupting or disrupting work, as well as reducing the combat effectiveness of the enemy's use of radio-electronic means and systems by affecting their receivers with radio-electronic interference. Modern electronic suppression includes: radio-, optical-electronic, radio-technical and hydroacoustic suppression.
REB can be provided through the creation of active and passive interference, as well as the use of various kinds of false targets and traps.The 1L269 Krasukha-2 electronic suppression station created at the Rostov Research Institute "Gradient" is a truly unique system. This station was developed taking into account the generalization of the combat experience that was gained by the Russian army during the armed conflict in August 2008 in South Ossetia.
The Russian military learned bitter lessons from the conflict, in which almost no electronic warfare units were used. This is also the reason why the Russian Air Force lost a number of Su-25 and Tu-22M3 combat aircraft.
Most likely, this station was created taking into account the suppression of airborne surveillance radars such as AWACS, flying radars like the American E-8 Joint Star, as well as modern UAVs such as the Predator and Global Hawk.
State tests of electronic countermeasures stations 1L269 "Krasukha-2" were completed in 2009. Outwardly, these vehicles are similar to conventional radars, which are mounted on a BAZ-6910-022 automobile chassis, wheel arrangement 8x8. The cab of this vehicle is equipped with microwave protection equipment. An independent air heater ОН-32Д-24 and an air conditioner Webasto CC4Е with an electric drive are installed in it.The main purpose of the product "Kpacyxa-2O" is electronic suppression of onboard radar stations of the early warning and control system of the "Awax" type.
Since 2009, the Krasukha-2 ground-based electronic warfare systems have been supplied to the Russian Armed Forces. The technical details of the Krasukha-type complexes are classified. The stations were developed by the Gradient Research Institute and are manufactured by the Kvant Research and Production Association.

"Borisoglebsk-2", in comparison with its predecessor - the complex "Mandat" modernized in 2001, has better technical characteristics: an expanded frequency range of means of radio intelligence and electronic suppression, an increased scanning speed of the frequency range, a reduced response time at unknown frequencies, a higher accuracy of positioning the source of radio emission, increased throughput of suppressors.
The software (SW) of the complex was developed according to the uniform requirements for the interface of the automated workstation of operators, which ensures the convenience of the work of officials when moving from one facility to another.
To the next level.
Back in 2014, the electronic warfare units began to receive unique Murmansk-BN complexes, the creation of analogues of which in the near future is not even expected in any country in the world. Today the complexes are already in the ranks of the Northern, Pacific and Black Sea fleets.
The Murmansk-BN complexes have been installed in Sevastopol. From there, they can cover almost the entire the Mediterranean Sea... Also, the complex is being successfully mastered in Kamchatka.
At the end of the academic year, the Kamchatka separate center for electronic warfare under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Temchenko was recognized as the best electronic warfare unit in the Far East. Shortly before that, two Murmansk-BN complexes had entered service with the center.
They entered the troops of the Northern Fleet first, becoming the basis of the naval electronic warfare grouping. They were first used during a surprise check of the combat readiness of the RF Armed Forces in early 2015. The results of those maneuvers, as well as the demonstrated capabilities of the complex, were commented by the head of the electronic warfare center of the Northern Fleet, captain of the second rank Dmitry Popov: “According to its characteristics, Murmansk-BN is capable of disorganizing the control of the forces of a potential enemy. It operates at a range of over 5 thousand kilometers. Today our task is to prevent the transmission of data from reconnaissance planes of the imaginary enemy for his aviation. The efficiency of the complex is one hundred percent. The tasks received in real time have been fully completed. "
Chief of Staff of the 471st Separate Electronic Warfare Center Captain 3rd Rank Roman Nechaev: “Murmansk-BN is an arsenal of the XXI century. The work of the newest complex is based on modern mathematical principles. In terms of its parameters, it surpasses its predecessor by almost several orders of magnitude. For example, the declared capacity of the stations of the old park was 5 kW. For Murmansk-BN, this figure in certain operating modes can reach 400 kW. Other characteristics of the new technology are also impressive, in particular, the range of its effective use. In the skillful hands of Kamchatka specialists in electronic warfare, the complex from the place of deployment is capable of performing tasks both on its territory and far away on its approaches. And if necessary - outside the 12-mile economic zone - from Chukotka to islands in the Sea of Japan».
Murmansk-BN is a short-wave coastal electronic warfare system. He conducts radio reconnaissance, intercepts enemy signals and suppresses them over the entire short-wave range at a distance of up to 5000 kilometers!
It takes 72 hours to install the complex. When unfolded, it occupies as much as 640 thousand square meters. One side of the antenna field is 800 meters. The height of the telescopic hydraulic antenna masts is 32 meters, that is, higher than the standard nine-story building. The complex was mounted on seven heavy KamAZ trucks.
Murmansk-BN is effective against both ships and reconnaissance aircraft. The complex recognizes the target, suppresses its control and communication systems, and then, if necessary, weapons are used that work on traditional principles.
Experts point out that if the already existing Murmansk-BN complexes are placed, for example, in Kaliningrad, then they will be able to jam communications and control systems in the HF band practically throughout Europe and part of the Atlantic Ocean.
The novelty of the defense industry gives a serious advantage not only at the operational-tactical, but also at the strategic level. Already located today in the Sevastopol Murmansk-BN is capable of nullifying the advantage that NATO's aircraft carrier strike groups give in the Mediterranean. Also, the complex will allow to stop the potential threat from the "Black Sea flotilla" of the alliance, the creation of which was announced at the Warsaw summit of the bloc.
At sea, the United States and its allies still have much more conventionally offensive forces and assets. However, Russia, not striving for the offensive itself, creates a kind of wall from them, consisting of powerful systems, anti-ship missile systems such as "Ball" and "Bastion") and the world's best air defense systems.
The situation is similar in the Arctic, where new electronic warfare systems provide strategic control over a significant part of the waters of the Arctic Ocean... The Murmansk-BN complexes installed in Kamchatka, in turn, control the seas and the ocean up to the borders of some neighboring states, such as the USA and Japan. This allows, in an extreme situation, through the use of "soft" power, to quickly eliminate many potential threats. And also to suppress intelligence operations off our coast.
The latest development of Russian engineers creates a huge advantage for our army. According to some estimates, nothing like this will exist in the armed forces of other countries for decades to come. Therefore, "Murmansk-BN" is another reason for the whole world to pronounce the word "Russia" with respect.
Following an analysis of the use of military equipment in Syria, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin asked the military department in 2017 to continue the development of high-precision weapons, modern communications, intelligence, command and control and electronic warfare.
Electronic warfare (EW)
Is a set of agreed measures and actions for:
Electronic destruction of enemy radio-electronic objects (functional defeat; electronic defeat; defeat with a homing weapon for radiation),
Information support (collection, analysis and generalization of data on the radio-electronic situation; technical reconnaissance of enemy radio-electronic objects; comprehensive technical control of the state and protection from technical means of reconnaissance of their objects),
Electronic protection (protection against means of electronic destruction; protection against unintentional interference (ensuring electromagnetic compatibility); protection of troops and objects from technical means of reconnaissance).
The system of command and control of troops and weapons makes it possible to implement the principles of waging network-centric wars, implying a transition from the territorial concentration of forces to their functional (information) integration. Naturally, this increases the role of electronic warfare and increases its capabilities (potentially - reducing the enemy's combat power by three times).
Taking into account the state of the electronic warfare equipment produced for the RF Ministry of Defense, it is customary to speak of integrated electronic warfare systems, combining about 50 different complexes and means of various purposes (see table). At the same time, the main problem is the creation of a unified information space for electronic warfare equipment.
Until recently, the most secret in the entire arsenal of Russian electronic warfare equipment was the Krasukha-2 jamming station. It seems that at the present time the palm has passed to the station of suppression of communication lines "Murmansk-BN", capable of jamming more than two dozen frequencies at a distance of up to 5 thousand kilometers. However, there is no reliable evidence that the newest complex has such characteristics. Judging by the photographs available in open sources (several four-axle off-road trucks with multi-meter towers), where, in addition to the main antennas, characteristic low-frequency stretch antennas are visible, it can be assumed that this complex is capable of jamming signals in the range from 200 to 500 MHz. The coastal complex "Murmansk-BN" even outwardly bears little resemblance to the fact that the ground forces of the Russian Federation are used to protect and counteract the enemy. Some experts, commenting on the information on the combat duty of these complexes in the Russian army, note that in the case of the Murmansk-BN we are talking about strategic electronic countermeasures. The thing is that the main task of the unique telescopic antennas and transmitters of the electronic warfare complex is to disorganize communication and control channels over great distances.
The main directions of development of electronic warfare in the Russian Federation are as follows:
Creation of highly mobile ground-based multifunctional electronic warfare systems for zonal and object protection of weapons and military equipment from electronic reconnaissance systems and destruction of guided weapons;
Creation of wide-range complexes and electronic warfare equipment for group and individual protection of air, sea and land-based weapons and military equipment;
Development of means of electronic suppression of radio-electronic equipment (RES) with complex broadband signals, including those with rapidly tunable (from pulse to pulse) parameters;
Development of means of electronic suppression of multi-position systems of radar reconnaissance, target designation and weapon control;
Improving the accuracy of executive electronic intelligence to determine the location of emitting objects.
The main domestic manufacturers of electronic warfare equipment (market share):
Concern Radioelectronic Technologies JSC, KRET (60%),
Concern Sozvezdie JSC (20%),
AO Berg Central Scientific Research Radio Engineering Institute, TsNIRI (10%),
Scientific and Technical Center for Electronic Warfare JSC, Scientific and Technical Center of Electronic Warfare (5%),
LLC "Special Technological Center" (5%).
The leading enterprise is KRET JSC. In many sectors, the concern has an almost monopoly position on the Russian market in the supply of electronic warfare equipment with electronic reconnaissance and weapons control systems. Electronic warfare equipment and systems developed by KRET are used to equip aircraft of the Su-25, Su-27SM, Su-30, Su-34, Su-35, Il-76, Il-78, Il-96, Tu-214 types, and Mi helicopters -8, Mi-26, Mi-28, Mi-35 and Ka-52, as well as surface ships of projects 1144, 1164, 1155, 956, 11540, 22350, 20380, 21631. The situation is most favorable for the concern in the market of aviation complexes and electronic warfare means. The reasons for this, in addition to the global growth in demand for electronic warfare systems in the world, are: 1) the expected growth in the supply of Russian aircraft; 2) projected growth in the share of aircraft supplied with electronic warfare equipment for individual and group protection; 3) the purchase of electronic warfare equipment by foreign states within the framework of the program for the modernization of their own aircraft fleet of Russian / Soviet production.
The evolution of electronic warfare systems has accelerated dramatically. At the end of the 20th century, the Ministry of Defense demanded a service life of 15-20 years. Today, the life cycle of electronic warfare devices has been reduced to four to five years. Electronics is developing too fast. Therefore, leading manufacturers are switching to modular device schemes. The basis of the system, the platform, can serve for 20 years, but modules that are standardized in fastening and interface are provided, which allow improving the equipment, changing not the entire complex, but individual blocks. In other words: if I put in a new "advanced" block in terms of science, I got new opportunities!
The rearmament of the electronic warfare troops to new models of equipment is based on the results of the military-scientific substantiation of the composition of the electronic warfare troops and proposals for the draft state armament program for the period 2018-2025. By 2020, the electronic warfare troops must effectively ensure the fulfillment of the following tasks of the RF Armed Forces:
Disorganization of the enemy's state and military command and control (including its industrial infrastructure);
Disorganization of command and control of enemy troops (forces) and weapons in hostilities of various scales and intensity;
Reducing the capabilities of the enemy's global specific space reconnaissance;
Counteraction to anti-missile defense systems;
Reflection (disruption) of an aerospace attack of the enemy;
Protection of objects, military equipment from being hit by high-precision weapons.
It is planned to focus the main efforts on the development of the electronic warfare troops' armament system on the implementation of one traditional and five innovative directions.
The innovative development path involves, firstly, the creation of controlled radio interference fields on enemy territory using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and dropped jamming transmitters. Secondly, it is planned to create means of destruction of RES by electromagnetic radiation. Thirdly; the development of a special program impact is in progress. Fourthly, great importance is attached to imitation of the electronic situation and the introduction of disinformation into the enemy's troops and weapons control system. Finally, fifthly, it is planned to increase the level of information security of the EW command and control bodies.
Among specialists, the term "Intellectual suppression" has come into practice. It is based on well-known technologies for creating simulation (relay) interference. A special feature is that due to the placement in the protected zone of small-sized low-power signal repeaters of the suppressed radio-electronic means and control of these repeaters according to special algorithms, it becomes possible to create a false virtual radio-electronic situation and ensure a hidden from the enemy influence on his control systems of troops and weapons. The "intellectual" nature of suppression is provided mainly due to the mathematical apparatus implemented in the system and modern communication technologies.
The practical implementation of the entire range of planned measures to improve the electronic warfare system will predictably lead to a significant increase in the contribution of electronic warfare to gaining superiority in command and control of troops (forces) and the use of weapons. At the same time, the volume of tasks performed by electronic warfare troops in various strategic directions by 2020 will increase by 2-2.5 times.
"We are proactive"
As Yuri Ivanovich Mayevsky, Deputy General Director of JSC Concern Radioelectronic Technologies "for R&D of electronic warfare equipment, general designer," explained to Science, "we are working ahead of the curve. adversary in 2030. Of course, some kind of uncertainty remains, and we are putting in our complexes an excess of opportunities that can fend off this uncertainty. "
World market of electronic warfare is currently valued at approximately $ 14 billion per year. In the coming years, the average annual growth rate is expected at the level of 4%, the market size will reach $ 19 billion by 2025.
The main competitors of Russian enterprises in the world market: American (Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, The Boeing Company, Raytheon Company, ITT Corporation, BAE Systems), European (Thales Group, Elettronica, Indra) and Israeli manufacturers (Elta Systems, Rafael).
In the USA under the AST program Northrop Grumman conducts research and development work on the creation of solid-state broadband aircraft active phased array antennas (AFAR) capable of performing radar and electronic warfare tasks in the centimeter wavelength range. As part of the creation of a new generation jamming station (NGJ) for the EA-18G Grouler jamming aircraft ordered by the US Navy, Raytheon is developing solid-state broadband AFAR of decimeter and centimeter wavelengths.

The 15th separate electronic warfare brigade, or military unit 71615, is stationed in the village of Stroitel, Tambov region. The activities of the unit are aimed at protecting the command and control systems of the troops from enemy attacks, and reducing the effectiveness of his actions. A feature of the electronic warfare troops is that they do not enter into combat contact with the enemy, and strike only in virtual space and radio air.
The main types of electronic warfare are electronic suppression of enemy signals and electronic protection against them. The impact is carried out using the electromagnetic fields of special installations. Radio interference on the enemy's frequency is created by active (jamming stations and transmitters) and passive (reflecting) means.
History
The brigade's predecessor was the 225th separate electronic warfare regiment (military unit 64055), created in 2009. At that time, he was stationed in the city of Novomoskovsk, Tula region. In 2011, the unit was reorganized, all military equipment and signal tracking consoles were taken to Tambov, to the territory of military unit 71615. In April 2011, the regiment was named 15 separate electronic warfare brigade, and was awarded a battle banner and other regalia.
Chevron 15th BrigadeEyewitness impressions
The village where the brigade is based among the local population is known under the name "Infantry" - the Tambov Infantry School was founded here (1932). At the moment, the premises of the educational institution are reserved for barracks, administrative buildings and classrooms for such a unit as military unit 71615.
As for the conditions of service, the soldiers of urgent conscription and contract personnel live in comfortable dormitories of the cockpit type. For contractors and conscripts, the buildings for living are separate. Each barracks has four common showers, a recreation room and sports bras. Maintenance of equipment, cleaning of the external territory and the premises of the barracks is carried out by civilian personnel. Servicemen are involved in the above outfits only on a service park day on Saturdays.
In training specialization classes
Field exercises last about a month and are usually held at the Triguliai training ground. The exercises can be held jointly with the cadets of the 1084th Interspecies Center for the Training and Combat Use of Electronic Warfare Troops.
Cooking and catering is also outsourced to the civilian community. Meals are served on a queuing basis and are organized as a buffet (several dishes to choose from). Officers and soldiers eat in the same room. Every day, a doctor from the medical unit monitors the quality of food. In addition to the canteen, the garrison has a tea house.
Hazing, according to eyewitnesses, is absent, since some belong to the charter units, and every day a body examination of the soldiers is carried out.
Organization of meals in the dining room
At the moment, the connection is being completed, and the following requirements are imposed on those wishing to enter the contract service:
- The age of the applicant is from 18 to 40 years old;
- Passage of multilevel selection (standards of physical education, medical commission);
- Retraining or training in a special training center (in Tambov, this is the 1084th Interspecies Center for the Training and Combat Use of Electronic Warfare Troops).
Before the beginning of military service, conscripts undergo a course for a young soldier (about 1 month), and then take the oath. Relatives and friends of an employee of military unit 71615 are allowed to attend this event. Dismissal after the oath of allegiance to soldiers is allowed only on the security of the passport of the parents or wife. Relatives who come to take the oath should know that it is held on Saturday at 9.00 am, but it is worth arriving at the checkpoint already at 8.00 and do not forget to take warm clothes for yourself and the serviceman with you.
The rest of the time, leave-of-leave is issued to fighters upon application. It must be written on Thursday to the name of the unit commander, because a dismissal order is signed on Friday. If the leave is denied, you can meet with the serviceman at the checkpoint of the unit (a special room is reserved for visits).
Class
Communication with relatives by mobile phone is allowed only on weekends. The soldiers hand over the telephones to the company commander for storage, and their receipt is noted in the journal. Mobile operators recommend MTS (“Call Mom” or “Super 0” tariff) or Megafon (“It's simple”).
Soldiers of military unit 71615 receive their monetary allowance on a VTB-24 card. The ATM is located at the checkpoint of the unit. Contract employees are entitled to payments twice a month, and urgent conscription soldiers - once. You can replenish your VTB-24 card like this:
- In one of the branches of the bank. To transfer, you need to know the name of the fighter, his card number. The sender must have a bank card and passport with him.
- Internet banking. The Telebank service is activated at the bank's office if you have a passport. After entering your personal account, enter the recipient's card number and the transfer amount.
- Through the terminal. Indicate the recipient's card number and insert the bills into the bill acceptor.
- Through the Contact service. You need the recipient's details (bank name, card number and passport data).
Presentation of the battle banner to the 15th brigade
Sick soldiers of military unit 71615 are sent to the infirmary, and from there to the garrison military hospital (branch No. 9 of the 1586th district military hospital), designed for 150 beds. Visitors can visit the soldier every day from 10.00 to 19.00. A one-time pass is issued to a visitor only upon presentation of a passport.
