The Krasukha (Russian: Красуха; English: Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade) is a Russian mobile, ground-based, electronic warfare (EW) system. This system is produced by the KRET corporation on different wheeled platforms.[1] The Krasukha's primary targets are airborne radio-electronics (such as UAVs) and airborne systems guided by radar. The Krasukha has multiple applications in the Russian Armed Forces.[2]

Krasukha-2

[edit]

The Krasukha-2 is a S-band system designed to jam Airborne Early Warning and Control (AWACS) aircraft such as the Boeing E-3 Sentry at ranges of up to 250 kilometres (160 mi).[2] [3] [4] The Krasukha-2 can also jam other airborne radars, such as those for radar-guided missiles. The missiles, once jammed, then receive a false target away from the original to ensure that the missiles no longer pose a threat. The Krasukha-2 guards mobile high-priority targets such as the 9K720 Iskander SRBM.[2]

Krasukha-4

[edit]

The Krasukha-4 is a broadband multifunctional jamming station mounted on a BAZ-6910-022 four-axle-chassis. It complements the Krasukha-2 system by operating in the X-band and Ku-band, and counters airborne radar aircraft such as the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTAR) Northrop Grumman E-8.[4] The Krasukha-4 has enough range to effectively disrupt low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and can cause permanent damage to targeted radio-electronic devices.[5] Ground based radars are also a viable target for the Krasukha-4.[1]

Operational history

[edit]

Krasukha jammers were reportedly deployed to support Russian forces in Syria.[10] They have reportedly been blocking small U.S. surveillance drones from receiving GPS satellite signals.[11] During the Turkish intervention in the Syrian civil war, the complex apparently destroyed a Bayraktar drone by causing it to lose control, subsequently crashing.[12] The Israeli Defense Force had problems in 2021 with the Krasukha S-4 GPS denial system.[13]

In July 2018, an OSCE monitoring mission drone recorded a 1L269 Krasukha-2 among other electronic warfare equipment deployed near Chornukhyne, Ukraine.[14]

In 2018, Russia’s Krasukha-4 microwave cannon reportedly grounded an American AH-64 Apache attack helicopter in Syria by damaging its electrical circuits.[15]

In 2020, Krasukha was claimed (without evidence)[16] to have operated around the Russian military base at GyumriinArmenia to counter the use by Azerbaijan of Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 armed drones as well as Israel-made Harop loitering munition (suicide drones).[17]

The first export contract was officially signed in August 2021.[18]

Krasukha-4 models are also being employed in the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, as Ukrainian forces captured one of these devices in the field near Kyiv. A photograph posted to social media claims to show part of the system, which has been separated from its truck mount and shows some damage.[19][20] The unit was then sent to the United States for examination.[21]

On 9 August 2023, a source in the Russian defense industry told the state news agency TASS that several Southeast Asian nations and an Eastern European country have ordered the Krasukha and Sapphire EW systems.[22]
