Russia KRET (Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies)
Krasukha-4
A truck-mounted Russian broadband electronic-warfare system designed to jam airborne and satellite radars, including AWACS and reconnaissance-satellite imaging radars, and to disrupt drone datalinks over a wide radius. It has been deployed to protect Russian rear-area assets during the war in Ukraine. The 300 km jamming radius and the claimed ability to permanently damage targeted radio-electronic devices originate from Russian state and manufacturer sources and are unverified by independent testing.
In service since 2009
