The\u00a0domestic premises, built during partly demilitarization of Sevastopol areas, now appear\u00a0to be\u00a0in close proximity to high hazard level objects, including\u00a0health hazards. These are different modern powerful\u00a0radars for detection and suppression of the electronic objects,\u00a0as well as the coastal\u00a0antiship missiles complexes. The locals complain of\u00a0unstable operation of mobile communication, radio and television devices.<\/em>\r\n\r\n<em>The people are most worried about the high powerful antenna masts which appeared at Fiolenta near Georgiev\u00a0monastery. The official information in Russia's Black See Fleet newspaper 'Flag Rodiny' [Motherland's Flag] about the 'Murmansk' electronic warfare system deployment (as part of the 475th electronic center) was given\u00a0in keeping with the best traditions of Soviet propaganda. According to the organizers this equipment will elate friendlies and frighten enemies.<\/em>\r\n\r\n<em>But the locals\u00a0cast a wary eye at the antennas placed 150 m away from their houses, also they sure that the radio emission will be strong. They justify their assumptions\u00a0by the fact that servicemen have special hoods for protection while working with the equipment. Gardeners also fear that their\u00a0homesteads placed near the renewed military objects will be confiscated.\"<\/em><\/blockquote>\r\nOn March 20, 2014, 'RIA Novosti' reported about the North Fleet training\u00a0using the latest 'Murmansk-NB' complex:\r\n<blockquote><em>\"The characteristics of 'Murmansk-NB' system allows it to disorganize the command of a potential enemy's\u00a0forces. It works on the distance up to 5 thousands kilometers.\" - states the North Fleet's electronic warefare center commander, the captain II rank, Dmitri Popov.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\n<em>According to him, these complexes make the basis of the Fleet's electronic warfare. 'Murmansk-NB' was put into service in December, 2014. At this moment the equipment is successfully assimilated.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\n<em>The system conducts radio intelligence, intercepts enemy signals and suppresses them. It works over the whole shortwave range.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\n<i>\"Our task for today is to make impossible data transmission from scout aircrafts of the potential enemy. The effectiveness of the complex is 100%. All the real-time tasks were completed\" - summarizes Popov<\/i><em>\".<\/em><\/blockquote>\r\nI am almost tempted to say: \"Hey, Russia!!!
