How powerful is the PLA's electronic jamming system? A foreign military reconnaissance aircraft was successfully deceived!

Recently, the Taiwan-based United Daily News reported that the PLA's electronic warfare units recently successfully used a new mobile electronic jamming system in a certain airspace over the South China Sea to confuse the opponent, luring the enemy reconnaissance aircraft to deviate from its original route and fly to the wrong coordinates.

This incident occurred recently. Although the report did not specify the exact time and location, nor did it mention the nationality of the foreign military aircraft, the author believes it is likely that it involved the U.S.-made E-130, EA-37B electronic warfare aircraft, or P-8A, P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

The mobile electronic jamming system has significantly reduced in size, even capable of being installed on military jeeps, greatly enhancing battlefield mobility and deployment flexibility. Due to its compact design, the deployment time is shortened by about 20% compared to traditional systems, and it can enter combat status in approximately 10 seconds, which gives a significant advantage in the fast-paced modern battlefield.

Although small in size, the performance of this system far exceeds traditional equipment. The electromagnetic suppression signal intensity it releases is about 20 times stronger than that of traditional systems, and the coverage area is expanded by about 50 times. The maximum coverage range of a single system can reach about 300 kilometers, and one system's effectiveness is equivalent to about 50 old-style jammers.

This system is capable of collecting information on the radar frequency bands of the opponent, and can accurately replicate and simulate various false targets. Moreover, it can simulate the radar echoes of large ships such as aircraft carriers, destroyers, and amphibious landing ships, successfully creating the illusion of a "virtual aircraft carrier fleet."

This victory in electronic warfare demonstrates the technological progress of the PLA in the field of electronic warfare. As the contest in the electromagnetic space becomes the core of modern warfare, these invisible electromagnetic swords are reshaping the rules and balance of future battlefields.
