Ukrainian forces captured near Kyiv what seems to be command post of the 1RL257 Krasukha-4 Electronic Warfare system, considered to be one of the most advanced Russian EW systems currently in service. The containerized system was hastily camouflaged with some tree branches before being abandoned by Russian forces, after it seemingly fell from the truck transporting it.
"We managed to identify this bizarre container, captured today by the UA forces near #Kyiv. "
- says one fresh Twitter message.
It is likely to be the command post of one of the most potent Russian EW system - 1RL257 other words Krasukha-4. This one used to suppress AWACS radars & radar reconnaissance satellites.
The Krasuha-4 is a broadband multifunctional jamming system designed to neutralize Low Earth Orbit spy satellites such as the US Lacrosse/Onyx series, satellites, ground-based radars, airborne surveillance radars like AWACS and JSTARS, and radar-guided ordinance at ranges between 200-300 km.
it may also cause damage to enemy radar electronic warfare and communications anr GPS systems in some circumstances. The system is also considered as a protection against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and anti-radiation missiles (ARMs).
According to the available info, the Krasukha-4 performs detection, processing, analysis and recognition of signals embedded in the operating range of frequencies employed by radars and other radio-emitting sources, before suppressing them with a jam signal transmitted by its three parabolic antennas.
The Krasuha-4 to transmit radio signals without restrictions in azimuth and elevation. The Krasuha-4 EW equipment is mounted on two KAMAZ-6350 vehicles to form the 1RL257 complex.
The first Krasukha-2½ electronic warfare system was delivered to the Russian Ministry of Defense in November 2013. The system, which complements the larger Krasukha-units already in use by the Russian Army, have been reportedly deployed in Syria and Armenia.
With these special devices for electronic warfare, Russia has disturbed e.g. NATO exercises and Finnish airspace.
