There were two things in the article that caught my eyes and made me worried for an eventual future

" a Russian Su-24 tactical bomber flew over the vessel triggering an incident that, according to several media reports, completely demoralized its crew, so much "

Does this mean that a future enemy only have to do so, to neutralize the crew?
I thought that they were trained for such a thing.

"As the Russian jet approached the US vessel, the electronic device(Khibiny) disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmission, etc. on board the US destroyer. In other words, the all-powerful Aegis system, now hooked up - or about to be - with the defense systems installed on NATO’s most modern ships was shut down, as turning off the TV set with the remote control."

Does Russia know how to easily "turn off" a American and other NATO warships radars and other electronics so easily
