Missiles are no longer the worst: the United States is afraid of "muffler" and cyberattack China and the Russian Federation

The US military is afraid of not only hostile missiles, but also technologies for suppressing communication or breaking systems. The US Agency (MDA) of the United States seeks to improve electronic struggle technologies to confront other developed countries such as China and the US. About it writes Defense News, referring to the US military. Electronic struggle provides control over the electromagnetic spectrum used for communication, situational awareness, weapons and more.

The US Department of Defense has been trying to restore its advantage in this area, as it has been fighting with less opponents in the Middle East in recent decades and has not developed such technologies. According to US officials, China and Russia are now the main threats, as they develop powerful missiles that can be launched from air, earth and seas, as well as from water.

There are already advanced protection systems that use erroneous goals and other methods that significantly increase the survival of the military. As the US Navy Vice Admiral explained, John Hill, the missile defense now needs to deploy modern systems that will be able to approach threats, determine where they will land and select the best means for interception. However, opponents can complicate these tasks with the help of electronics and cyberattacks.

"When I look into the future and think about the problems we encounter, in addition to different types of warheads and trajectories, I see attacks and protection in the electronic sphere. We must be as stable as possible, so we work on cyberaspets," he said on March 24 in March 24 Center for Strategic and International Research. John Hill acknowledged that the opponents have improved their capabilities in the electronic sphere, so the United States would be more difficult to build protection.
