Electronic Military Instruments in Support of Information and Cyberspace Operations Through the Example of the Ukrainian Conflict

Abstract

The world is more than ever dependent on electronic (information) systems, hence the increasing sophistication  of electronic warfare, cyber and information operations with increasing emphasis on advocacy. Russia has shown  considerable expertise in these areas, especially during the  crisis in Ukraine. Russia is conducting a sustained information operations campaign in its geopolitical sphere  of interest. At the same time, the potential impact of EW  and cyber capabilities on the operational efficiency and  survival of forces, should confrontation ever arise, is a  cause for concern.
