Ukrainian forces have successfully neutralized a Russian RB-301B Borisoglebsk-2 electronic warfare system, according to the Ukrainian news outlet Army Inform.
This advanced system, designed to disrupt communications and navigation, is estimated to cost around $200 million, according to WP.
The RB-301B Borisoglebsk-2 is a high-tech electronic warfare system developed by Russia’s KRET Corporation. It is built to jam communication systems and radar frequencies used by enemy forces.
The system represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the Borisoglebsk-1, offering improved efficiency and operational flexibility.
Mounted on tracked MT-LB vehicles, the Borisoglebsk-2 is highly mobile and capable of operating in challenging terrain. The system consists of multiple vehicles equipped with antennas, transmitters, and control stations.
Its components include radio jamming stations capable of targeting a wide range of frequencies, command centers with computerized management systems, and directional and omnidirectional antennas.
The system’s primary function is to disrupt radio communication across frequencies ranging from 1.5 MHz to 1 GHz, which covers most military and civilian communication networks. It can also disable GPS and other navigation systems, as well as interfere with radar operations.
Its high level of automation allows for the rapid detection, analysis, and jamming of signals, enhancing its effectiveness on the battlefield.
Despite its advanced capabilities, the Borisoglebsk-2 was detected and destroyed by Ukrainian forces.
This loss marks a significant blow to Russian operations, as electronic warfare systems like the Borisoglebsk-2 are critical for countering enemy communications and navigation.
