How Syria is becoming a test zone for electronic warfare
Russia's military has long appreciated that "radio-electronic combat" is integral to modern warfare and accordingly that it offers a set of relatively inexpensive weapons that can potentially cripple an opponent's ability to sense, communicate and exercise command and control within a battle space.
The Syria conflict means Russia will now be able to test its new systems in live combat avoiding direct conflict with NATO. That will enhance overseas sales prospects of the Krasukha-4 system. NATO will also be able test its ECCM against another EW system, presumably with similar ends in mind.
