The US Navy hit Syrian air base Al-Shayrat with Tomahawk sea-launched cruise missiles (SLCM) early in April. A leading Russian designer of electronic warfare (EW) equipment has spoken with the Izvestia daily about why the Tomahawk is a very hard target to deal with and how friendly forces, airfields and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) silos may be protected and defended against it.
