China’s Navy deployed a new type of electronic warfare aircraft

Beijing. January 23. Silkroadnews - China’s Navy deployed a new type of electronic warfare aircraft, “People’s Daily” reported.
“The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy’s South China Sea Fleet deployed a “new type of electronic warfare aircraft” in its recent combat maneuvers, a move to greatly enhance the navy’s capabilities in modern warfare to safeguard the country's sea rights,” the report said.
It is noted that the new aircraft is the H-6G bomber, the development of which was conducted for 10 years equipped with electronic countermeasures (ECM) devices underneath its wings. The modified H-6G with ECM can take part in combat operations, suppressing radio signals and interfering with the operation of enemy radars.
“The main role of the electronic fighters is to obstruct the enemies’ electronic jamming devices - for example, radar, to temporarily or permanently, if powerful enough, cover the surveillance devices and to hide our combat platforms’ track,” the agency quoted military expert Song Zhongping saying.
Song also added “the H-6G electronic warfare aircraft boasts of high electronic jamming power and can cover relatively bigger combat areas such as the South China Sea and East China Sea.”
In China JH-7 fighter-bomber is also equipped with ECM pods.
