NATO recognized the lag behind Russia in the effectiveness of electronic warfare

The North Atlantic Alliance has not been able to create and adopt electronic warfare (EW) systems in the same quality and quantity as Russia. This was announced on May 13 by NATO representative Bas Nieuwenhaus.

"[The Alliance] has not developed and adopted electronic warfare systems in the same quantities and of the same quality as some potential adversaries," the Breaking Defense portal quotes him as saying.

According to the portal, Russian electronic warfare systems in the special military operation zone in Ukraine have already demonstrated superiority over NATO developments. According to Nieuwenhaus, the alliance needs to change its approach to creating these funds. He called dependence on American electronic warfare one of the problems of NATO.
