The onboard systems of the American F-35 were brought down by the Russian Murmansk-BN electronic warfare systems. Russian electronic warfare systems "Murmansk-BN", located in the Murmansk region, Kaliningrad region and in the Crimea, brought down the onboard systems of American F-35 fighters. According to the Chinese information publication "Sina Military", most of the systems of American F-35 fighters simply fail, flying closer than 500 kilometers from the deployment sites of these electronic warfare systems. Moreover, it is precisely with this that the refusal to use such combat aircraft over the Black Sea and over the southern part of the Baltic Sea is connected.
"F-35 fighter pilots complain that they periodically lose communication, and some systems do not work at all when flying near the western Russian borders.", - note the authors of "Sina Military".
In the summer of this year, a group of Italian F-35 fighters was deployed to Estonia, however, after a serious impact by Russian electronic warfare means, NATO countries refused to place their fifth generation combat aircraft so close to the Russian borders. According to Sina Military journalists, the Murmansk-BN complexes have become Russia's key weapons.
“Russian systems“ Murmansk-BN ”are advanced non-lethal weapons capable of hitting enemy electronic systems at distances over 3000 kilometers. If the United States tries to put pressure on Russia, then Russian weapons will begin to burn at full power ", - emphasize the specialists.
It should be noted that NATO previously complained about the work of Russian electronic warfare systems, noting that these weapons pose a threat to almost all of the Alliance's weapons.
