Militarizarea Peninsulei Crimeea – capabilităţi de război electronic ale Federaţiei Ruse
The militarization of the Crimean Peninsula – Russian Federation`s electronic warfare capabilities

Summary/Abstract: The article will give an argumentative response to an interesting question which travels nowadays. How many aircraft carriers does Russian Federation have, none, one or two? There are three possible answers to this question. The 1st answer and most common is one, because everyone knows that Russian Federation poses “Admiral Kuznetsov” aircraft carrier, an old ship which is undergoing a long repair and modernization process. The 2nd answer can be none because there are rumors which say that after finishing its repairment process, aircraft carrier “Admiral Kuznetsov” will be transformed in a museum and it won’t sail again. The 3rd answer, a more realistic one, may be two, if we take into consideration the fact that Crimean Peninsula can act as an aircraft carrier. We all know that aircraft carriers never sail alone, they always have a group of ships/ vessels near them in order to provide logistic support, assure force protection on sea, from land or from underwater threats and sometimes it can be a deterrence force in the region. Within the article I will argue that the third answer is right and Crimean Peninsula can be considered a plane carrier by showing its military capabilities, insisting on contribution of electronic warfare assets to A2/AD (Anti-Access/Aria-Denial) environment.
