🇷🇺 Krasukha-4
Multi-domain · KRET / NPO Kvant (Rostec) — Rusya · ~2014
The Krasukha-4 is a Russian truck-mounted electronic-warfare system that jams enemy radars, drones, satellites and missile guidance across a wide band — a passive force multiplier that blinds the other side rather than shooting.
Specifications
- Type: Land-based broadband multi-function jamming station
- Manufacturer / origin: KRET / NPO Kvant (Rostec), Russia

- Effective range: ~150-300 km (against airborne emitters)
- Frequency band: ~8-18 GHz (X / Ku band; incl. SATCOM)
- Coverage: Azimuth 360°, elevation -1° to ~60°
- Targets: AWACS/JSTARS radars, satellite (LEO) radar/SATCOM, drone, radar-guided missile
- Crew: 3 (commander, operator, driver)
- Service year: Serial production and deployment since ~2014
Beats: AN/ALQ-184 pod (ABD) — pod ölçekli taktik karıştırıcıya kıyasla çok daha yüksek güç ve stratejik menzille AWACS/JSTARS gibi büyük platformları hedef alır, Kolchuga pasif algılayıcı (Ukrayna) — sadece dinlemekle kalmaz, aktif olarak bastırıp hedefin radarını kullanılmaz hale getirir, Repellent-1 anti-drone EH (Rusya) — kısa-menzilli drone karıştırıcının aksine uzun-menzilli erken-uyarı/uydu radarlarına da ulaşır
Loses to: EC-37B / EA-37B Compass Call (ABD) — havadan, çok daha geniş frekans yelpazesi ve hareket kabiliyetiyle sabit kara platformuna göre çok daha esnek ve hayatta-kalır, EA-18G Growler (ABD) — AESA tabanlı NGJ kapsülleriyle modern stealth ortamında daha çevik ve uçuş-içi adaptif karıştırma sunar, Ukrayna drone/HIMARS tehdidi — sahada Krasukha-4'ün kendisi yakalandı/imha edildi; konuşlandığı yer açığa çıkınca savunmasız kalır
Mounted on a KamAZ truck with a large deployable jamming antenna, the Krasukha-4 suppresses airborne radars, drone datalinks/GPS and even low-orbit satellite radar over a wide arc. Its weakness is that emitting gives away its position: it is a high-value target for anti-radiation weapons and kinetic strikes, and stealthy or pre-programmed weapons can bypass the jamming entirely.
