The hacker group Black Mirror has released a new set of intercepted internal documents containing photos of the assembly and testing process of the electronic warfare system 1RL257 Krasukha-4 contain.
The documents allegedly relate to the Russian state-owned defense conglomerate Rostec related appear to be part of a formal production report prepared for a foreign customer — possibly Serbia, he said Defence Blog.
The report provides the first visual confirmation of components and manufacturing details of the Krasukha-4one of Russia’s most closely guarded ground-based electronic warfare platforms.
The system is described as “one of the country’s most advanced ground-based electronic warfare capabilities” and is said to be capable of “detecting and jamming large radars, such as those on early warning and air control aircraft and satellites.”
The leaked photos, believed to be from 2023, show the assembly of the components, the internal hardware and the testing phases of the system – information that was previously completely classified.
The complete one Krasukha-4-System consists of two vehicles, both on the 8×8 chassis KAMAZ-6350 based: one with the EW (electronic warfare) emitter and the other configured as a command post.
Sea Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies (KRET), the system’s manufacturer, the Krasukha-4 has an effective operational range of “between 150 and 300 kilometers in any direction, depending on environmental factors.”
Russian authorities claim the system can locate and jam a wide range of radar types, including aerial imaging radar systems, active seekers in missiles and ground-based surveillance radars.
Beyond pure repression, Russian state media reports unconfirmed claims that “the disruptive system of the Krasukha-4 “can emit powerful RF energy beams that could physically damage sensitive electronic systems of certain targets.”
