Russia and Ukraine are both in their opponents, and they both see China’s terrifying strength
In today’s military-technical race, one unexpected piece of equipment has attracted global attention – that is, a seemingly simple but promising electronic warfare backpack. The new portable electronic warfare backpack recently disclosed by the Russian army on the front line immediately attracted the attention of analysts at home and abroad as soon as it was exposed, and became the new favorite on the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine.
Russian soldiers recently exposed the new electronic warfare backpack for the first time in a video on the front line, which has at least six large-sized antennas and more than 6 hours of full workload. Although it does not look lightweight, according to the Russian military, this equipment is extremely effective and can effectively defend against various types of civilian drones that are widely used by the Ukrainian army. Western analysts have speculated that the Russian army may be preparing to launch a new round of offensive operations.
Surprisingly, this portable electronic warfare backpack originated in China. Civilian anti-drone equipment, which was originally used in domestic pig farms to counter illegal drone activities, is now shining on the battlefield. Its price is about 1-2,2 yuan, but the range of action can reach <> kilometers. This not only illustrates the depth and breadth of China’s industrial manufacturing but also shows its profound heritage in the field of science and technology.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that this type of equipment has attracted attention. Some domestic pig farms began to deploy such equipment for defense after being harassed and destroyed by lawbreakers using civilian drones, triggering a large-scale “civil electronic warfare”, which once reached 50 kilometers and even caused complaints from civil aviation.
This incident not only reveals China’s strong capabilities in the field of civilian drones and related countermeasure technologies but also exposes the new trend of the current global military equipment race. More importantly, it reveals that in the field of drone technology, it is difficult for even traditional powers to ignore the influence of “Made in China”. The truth about the Russia-Ukraine conflict may be more complex than we know, but it is clear that drone technology and electronic warfare are growing in importance.
This incident not only shows China’s ability to deeply integrate military science and technology with civilian science and technology but also reflects the new look of the current competition in technology and equipment in international military conflicts. With the continuous evolution of warfare, UAVs and their countermeasures will become one of the key areas of military confrontation in the future. China’s superiority in this field undoubtedly provides new food for countries around the world to think about: in the future technological arms race, whoever can adapt to changes faster will be able to take the lead on the battlefield.
It seems that a new arms race around drone technology has begun. And Made in China, in this war without gunpowder, is gradually dominating with its unique advantages. How we will perceive and leverage these technologies in the future is both a challenge and an opportunity.
