Military and Aerospace reports that they, the Russians now can destroy or disable sophisticated electronic guidance and navigation systems in manned and unmanned aircraft and precision-guided missiles.
The Soviet Union was a leader in EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) weapons for years and years.
Electromagnetic pulse systems are massive generators of electricity, that can transfer that 'electricity' without wires to everything nearby. A nuclear weapon detonation, besides the heat, and radiation and concussion, generates a massive electromagnetic pulse.. Air burst detonations for instance can strategically destroy the electrical infrastructure of a country without having the "shock-wave" hit the earth..
Reviewing the description of the system, it reportedly can harm GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) navigation signals, radio communications equipment, and even disrupt or destroy orbiting satellites' communications systems.
The developer of the weapons system is called Radio-Electronic Technologies Group (KRET) in Moscow.
Possibly this is why DARPA has recently said that a new constellation of hundreds of battle ready satellites which rely on OPTICAL radiation hardened circuitry (possibly immune to EMP microwave energy) is going to be deployed.. Massive satellite fleets, hundreds if not thousands, would be hard to target.. The Russian system is designed to take out "one-at-a-time" incoming.. Saying such is for defensive purposes only..
The Russian news service "TASS" reported similarly. To be able to disable satellite communications (SATCOM) appeared to be where the dialog was focused.. Satellite communications for the most part have relied on electromagnetic microwave receivers and transmitters.. The new radiation hardened OPTICAL communications system would not necessarily be jammed or damaged by the 'new' Russian weapons.
Supposedly, the microwave emp system will actually switch off enemy weapons. "Field tests are scheduled for as early as the end of this year, says Vladimir Mikheyev, adviser to the KRET first deputy CEO."
Here are some examples of what EMP generators look like:

Is Russia the only one developing microwave EMP weapons? No, the US has programs for weapons systems, so does China..

Dr. Jim Garrow on May 4, 2014, the ex-CIA official was adamant that the Chinese plan to use EMP weapons against the United States in order to bring any organized resistance to a complete standstill.
A widespread EMP attack, precipitated by a pair of high altitude nuclear weapons over the midcontinental United States, would knock all electronics that were not previously and purposefully hardened against such an attack.
The effects of such an attack would greatly reduce the population. Millions would die in the first few minutes. Over the next two years, 90% of the US population would perish largely due to their inability to obtain food and clean drinking water.
No doubt, Russia understands how EMP can be used to destroy infrastructure, while leaving intact buildings.
A high enough EMP will scramble the human nervous system.
The report details how much of China’s military is developing EMP weapons that the Chinese plan to use against targeted U.S. aircraft carriers with regard to any future conflict over Taiwan.
Parts of the National Ground Intelligence Center study on the lethal effects of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and high-powered microwave (HPM) weapons revealed that the arms are part of what China refers to as the “assassin’s mace”.
This arsenal of EMP weapons allows a technologically inferior China to defeat U.S. military forces while leaving much of the surrounding infrastructure intact.
