The Warfare of the Electromagnetic Domain in the Russo-Ukrainian War and Possible Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack

Abstract

This paper examines how electronic warfare, a way of fighting in the electromagnetic domain, is defined in Russian security strategy. The author would like to focus on the strategic papers and look at how organized the "electronic warfare forces" in the Russian military. Then, the author would like to consider the "electronic warfare equipment" possessed by those "electronic warfare forces". In addition, the author will take up as a case study how Russia's electronic warfare is carried out in the current Russo-Ukrainian War. Finally, in modern warfare, "X-rays" and "γ-rays" are considered to categorized within the electromagnetic domain, so the author also would like to estimate the possibility that Russia will implement electromagnetic pulse(EMP) attack.
