On June 18, in the city of Cholpon-Ata, with the participation of the First Deputy Minister of Defense of the Kyrgyz Republic, Major General Erlis Terdikbaev, the next meeting of the Working Group under the CSTO Council of Defense Ministers on electronic warfare was held.

The Chief of the CSTO Joint Staff, Colonel General Andrey Serdyukov, in his video address to the participants of the working meeting noted that modern armed conflicts were characterized by a rapid increase in the role and place of electronic warfare in achieving the goals of military operations. "The active development of high-precision weapons, primarily enemy unmanned aircraft, controlled via radio channels, including using satellite systems, determines the need to improve the forms and methods of electronic suppression of control, communication and navigation channels. This is also evidenced by the experience of conducting a special military operation. These aspects must be taken into account in the context of improving both the national armed forces and the military component of the CSTO collective security system," the Chief of the CSTO Joint Staff said.
During the meeting, the experience of using the forces and means of electronic warfare of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in modern armed conflicts, as well as the improvement of the CSTO regulatory framework in the field of electronic warfare were discussed.
