On March 19, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) in its report based on information received as of 19:30, 18 March 2019, reported the observing of two types of the latest electronic warfare systems in the occupied territory of Ukraine. InformNapalm OSINT analysts believe that Russians are testing these systems not only against the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but also against American UAVs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the report<\/a>, on March 16 in non-government-controlled areas:<\/p>\n

\u201cAn SMM mini-UAV spotted an automatic jamming system (R-330Zh,\u00a0Zhitel<\/em>) on a KamAZ-4310 and a radio-electronic jamming complex (Tirada-2) near Yuzhna-Lomuvatka (60km west of Luhansk).\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tirada-2<\/h2>\n

Tirada-2 is an electronic warfare jamming system specialized in disabling communication satellites.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Scale model of Tirada-2S presented by Max-2013.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The development of this system began in\u00a02001.<\/strong> The first time it was publicly announced in\u00a02017<\/a>. In August\u00a02018<\/a>\u00a0, at the Army-2018 Forum, a contract for supplying the Russian Ministry of Defense with these latest EW systems was publicly signed, and in the autumn<\/a> they were tested.<\/p>\n

The manufacturer is OAO Elektropribor Zavod company from Vladimir, Russia.\u00a0In December\u00a02018,<\/a>\u00a0RIA Novosti reported that Tirada-2 systems would enter service in the Central Military District in 2019.<\/p>\n

R-330Zh Zhitel<\/h2>\n

The Russian R-330Zh Zhitel automated jamming communication station is designed for the automated detection, beaming and analysis of signals from sources of radio emission in the frequency range of 100-2000 MHz, as well as for jamming of portable and mobile ground radio stations (user terminals) of INMARSAT and IRIDIUM satellite communication systems, of the navigation equipment running on the NAVSTAR (GPS) satellite radio navigation system and of GSM-900\/1800 base stations.<\/em><\/p>\n

It has not been supplied to Ukraine.\u00a0Several times it was recorded in the investigations of InformNapalm (\u00a01<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a02<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a03<\/a>\u00a0).<\/p>\n

Note that these two EW systems jam not only satellite communications, but also short wave and ultra-short wave radio frequencies, as well as cellular and trunked radio communications.<\/p>\n

Russians are trying to jam American UAV<\/h2>\n

An American RQ-4B Global Hawk unmanned surveillance aircraft often flies above the contact line.\u00a0It is equipped with a Hughes Integrated Surveillance & Reconnaissance (HISAR) sensor system.\u00a0This is a lower-cost derivative of the ASARS-2 system developed by Hughes and currently supported by Raytheon for the Lockheed U-2 Dragon Lady spyplane.\u00a0This system is also used on the RCA-7B aircraft deployed by the US Army and is sold on the international market.\u00a0The system has a SAR\/MTI radar, as well as optical and infrared sensors.\u00a0All three subsystems can work simultaneously, and their data is processed by a single processor.\u00a0Digital data can be transmitted to the ground in real time within the line of sight or through a satellite channel at a speed up to 50 Mbps. InformNapalm OSINT analysts believe that the Russians, using the newest EW stations spotted by the OSCE Mission on March 16 in the occupied territory, are trying to shut down the communication channel between the US UAV and the satellite.\u00a0Otherwise, they would have no need to bring the newest powerful EW systems to the Donbas.<\/p>\n

We also want to remind you that in July 2018,\u00a0the OSCE SMM<\/a>\u00a0report officially mentioned four newest types of Russian electronic warfare systems spotted in the occupied territory for the first time during the entire period of hostilities in the Donbas, but for some reason this information had not been made public for 14 days.<\/p>\n

InformNapalm OSINT analysts believe that the Russians, using the newest EW stations spotted by the OSCE Mission on March 16 in the occupied territory, are trying to shut down the communication channel between the US UAV and the satellite.\u00a0Otherwise, they would have no need to bring the newest powerful EW systems to the Donbas.\r\n\r\nWe also want to remind you that in July 2018,\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/osce-smm-two-weeks-to-report-russian-ew-systems-in-donbas\/\">OSCE SMM<\/a>\u00a0report officially mentioned four newest types of Russian electronic warfare systems spotted in the occupied territory for the first time during the entire period of hostilities in the Donbas, but for some reason this information had not been made public for 14 days.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/InformNapalm_logo_05.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-8997 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/InformNapalm_logo_05.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"94\" height=\"42\" \/><\/a>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>This publication was prepared<\/em>\u00a0specially for\u00a0InformNapalm web site.\u00a0<em>Translated by Svitlana Kemblowski.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>An active link to the authors and our project is obligatory for any reprint or further public use of the material.<\/em><em>\r\n(<\/em>(Creative Commons \u2014 Attribution 4.0 International \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"><strong>CC BY 4.0<\/strong><\/a><em>)<\/em><em>\r\n<strong>Repost and\u00a0share with friends.<\/strong>\r\nFor notifications about InformNapalm investigations follow us on\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/informnapalm24\/\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/InformNapalm\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n ","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14525"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14525\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16490,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14525\/revisions\/16490"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
