[From article]
Russia has claimed to have built a revolutionary new weapon system that can render enemy satellites and weapons useless.
Its Russian makers say it is a 'fundamentally new electronic warfare system' which can be mounted on ground-based as well as air- and sea-borne carriers.
[. . .]
It is described as 'a fundamentally new electronic warfare system capable of suppressing cruise missile and other high-precision weaponry guidance systems and satellite radio-electronic equipment.'
[. . .]
To comply with international weapons laws, the system will be mounted on ground-based, air-and seaborne carriers and not on satellites. [. . .]
'It will actually switch off enemy weapons.'
The system's ground component will be tested soon, he claims.
'Ground tests are now going on in workshops. '
