In exchange for US data established Ukrainian F-16 Viper Special protection against the threats of the Russian Federation-the media

This information will help improve and improve the power of electronic struggle of both countries and other allies. The 68th Squadrilles of the Eelectronic Wrestling of the US Air Force at Eglin Air Base in Florida managed the work on reprogramming of the F-16 systems in cooperation with its colleagues in Denmark and Norway. Denmark and the Netherlands, as well as Belgium and Norway, plan to send 91 F-16AM/BM fighter in the coming years. Part will go to spare parts for other aircraft.

It has also been reported that Greece may allocate an additional 30 F-16C/D version fighters. "With the F-16 transmission by the third party-Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands-the struggle for Ukraine will receive additional opportunities for the IP,"-said in the press release about the work of the 68th squadron of radio electronic struggle of August 26.

It is known that some of the F-16 transferred to Ukraine were with pilots of the Danish company Terma, which contains built-in warning sensors and the mufflers of the HR, as well as sprayers of false traps. Pilons are related to the internal complex of the aircraft. The details of what involved reprogramming are not given. But in order for radio electronic fighting systems to work most effectively, they must accurately identify, classify and react, using data from the built -in threats library.

To help reduce the vulnerability to the HR-attack, operators under air defense and other systems have long used switching between different modes of operation, change frequencies and perform other steps to change the output signature. For their part, the ITS systems must be respored regularly to update databases and respond to changing threats. Libraries of the threats of radio electronic wrestling, accessible to the US Armed Forces, are one of their main advantages.

Radio -electronic struggle kits that can adapt autonomously in real time, even during missions, is the main thing. The Partnership in the field of EWS between the United States and Ukraine is not limited to the reprogramming of systems on the F-16. The 68th Squadron of the US Air Force will be able to reprogramming on the basis of reviews from Ukrainians, according to the Air Force Presrection.

"Traditionally, reviews come from the learning environment; in this case, data tested in combat will be provided," the press release said. But such reprogramming will still not be able to protect against all threats. At the same time, it will help to provide a critical advantage in terms of the survival of the Air Force of Ukraine in one of the most busy active air defense systems.
