The Russians invented EW for aircraft first. (Russian OOB# 137 - US OOB# 148

It is not EW in general of course, more like a (very) crude represantation of the capabilities of the single aircrafts. The Mig-19 (or at least some versions) had a Sirena-2 RWR. Dunno what was the first USAF fighter bomber to mount something similar but I would not be surprised if it was actually the F-105. I would believe that SAC bombers such as the B-47 had a fairly sophisticated EW suite even before that date, but they are not relevant to the game.
In general it is a mistake to assume that since the US was overall more advanced and wealthier the USSR would be lagging behind in the application of every single technology and piece of equipment, one might note they were the first to put a satellite in orbit.
