UAV “Orlan-10”
Russia has sent Leer-3 electronic warfare (EW) complexes to Nagorno-Karabakh, Izvestia reports, citing sources in the Defense Ministry.
According to the newspaper, the weapon will be “used not for jamming,” but “during humanitarian operations” to “send text, audio and video messages to cell phones.” The publication reminds that Leer-3 was successfully tested in Syria.
The newspaper notes that this electronic warfare system, capable of simulating a cellular tower for 10-12 hours, includes three Orlan-10 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and a control point on a KamAZ-5350 truck.
In September 2019, the newspaper reported that the RB-341V “Leer-3” would be able to find the enemy using a cell phone signal and aim strike weapons at him in real time.
In July 2018, Colonel of the US Army Brian Sullivan said that the US military stationed in Syria was operating under the conditions of an electronic attack from Russia.
In June of the same year, the military said that Russian electronic warfare technologies were ahead of American ones and posed a particular threat to the United States and NATO forces in Europe.
