According to a Russian satellite network reported on July 9th, a Russian Defense Industrial Complex said that Russia is making a new type of jammer that can scrap military satellites.

He said: “at present, the construction of jammers is being carried out, which will replace the -22PP’s” woodcutter “aircraft now serving in the air force. The new jammer will have new equipment to carry out electronic interference suppression for any target in sea, land, land and air, and to scrap the enemy’s satellite for ensuring ground navigation and radio communication. “

He said that the preliminary design of the aircraft has been completed, and the corresponding experimental design work will be carried out in the near future.

He also said, “the new machine is named” 2′”, but it is likely to use other names when entering the air force. It is clear that the aircraft will adopt a new body and is now considering making new machines based on -214 or -76. “

The Russian sky army now has 3 jammers based on the Yel -22, but the first generation of “lumber” is not particularly large, the reason is very simple – Russia has only about 10 IL -22, and it is no longer produced.

He said: “the first generation of” woodcutter “is on the mother aircraft. We still have about 10 -22, which is no longer produced. That is to say, only 7 of them can be re equipped, and such a quantity can not guarantee our army’s needs. “
