One of the main types of targets designed to defeat radio electronic control systems (RECS) is similar systems of the opposing side. At the same time, one of the most effective means of disabling the enemy's electronic systems is electronic suppression systems, which generate deliberate electronic interference for these purposes. In this regard, the consideration of radio electronic systems as a possible object of suppression by deliberate interference is very relevant. The purpose of the article is to create a general understanding of the vulnerability of radio-electronic systems to the effects of intentional radio-electronic interference, methods and means of their application to solve the problems of active radio-electronic, functional and kinetic damage to radio-electronic systems of the opposing side. The article discusses the objective reasons for the vulnerability of electronic systems to intentional interference, general information and classification of such interference, and the channels of their penetration into the RECS information and computing system. The article gives an idea of the practical possibilities of radio engineering systems for various purposes during their operation.
