''What is [[electronic warfare]], and how is it possible to bring down a [[civilian]] or [[military]] aircraft?''

The subject is vast, too vast to thumbnail here. But yes, it is possible for a lone [[saboteur]] with a package the size of cigar box in line of sight of an aircraft to disrupt its electronic instruments and communications to point that the pilot doesn't know if he's flying upside down, even on the [[America]]'s most sophisticated 5th generation fighter the [[F-35]]. Some electronic controls may even be taken over by electronic warfare.

The universal consensus is, the [[Russians]] have the most advanced [[electronic warfare]] capabilities on the [[planet]]. And this only makes sense: while [[America]] has focused on "air superiority" since the 1940s, the [[Russian]]s prioritized "air defense".
