Operating principle

Russian EW systems (KRET — part of Rostec) became world-famous in 2014–2022 for anti-AWACS and anti-drone performance in eastern Ukraine. Krasukha-2/4 are truck-mounted long-range jammers against radars (Krasukha-2 anti-AWACS, Krasukha-4 more general). Murmansk-BN is a long-range (>5,000 km) HF jamming system. Pole-21 is an anti-GPS/GNSS system. Repellent is an anti-drone RF pod. Effectiveness in Ukraine has been mixed: Russian EW has significantly degraded Western precision munitions (Excalibur, JDAM-ER, GMLRS) in 2023–2024 per RUSI; on the other hand, multiple Krasukha and Tirada-2 systems have been destroyed by HIMARS and Storm Shadow.
