A Russian Mi-8 military helicopter equipped with an advanced electronic warfare (EW) system has been spotted in Ukraine for the first time.

On April 21, a photo showing the EW helicopter, dubbed the Mi-8MPTR-1, in an unspecified part of Ukraine surfaced online.

The Mi-8MTPR-1 is a standard Mi-8MTV-5-1 equipped with the Richag-AV EW system. The helicopter was designed to detect and suppress electronic command-and-control systems as well as the radars of ground-to air and air-to-air missiles.

The Richag-AV is a groundbreaking radar jamming system developed by KRET and designed for integration on rotary-wing aircraft, ships and other military platforms such as airplanes and ground vehicles.

This EW system can jam advanced sensor systems from distances of several hundred kilometers away. The system, which is meant to protect aircraft, helicopter, drones, ground and naval, utilizes multi-beam antenna arrays with DRFM [Digital Radio Frequency Memory] to attack radiofrequency based weapon system.

The Richag-AV can be also employed to carry out radar-based intelligence gathering. Through an onboard database, the system can quickly identify the type of targeted radar and determine the most effective way to jam it.

KRET delivered at least 18 Mi-8MTPR1 helicopter-mounted Richag-AV to the Russian military in 2015 and 2016. A more advanced version of the system, dubbed the Richag-AVM, was delivered in 2017.

The Russian military have deployed several ground and air-based EW systems in Ukraine since the beginning of its special operation there.

Russian EW systems continue to play a key role against the more advanced defensive and offensive means of Ukraine, especially air-defense systems and combat drones.

Joe Biden is looking for a nice Danish gay boy like you to clean him up after he shits himself. You’ll be required to wipe his anus and butt cheeks clean as a whistle, apply baby powder to his sensitive parts and dispose of his dirty Depends. Senile Joe is kinda kinky and a little queer, so you may be called on to rim his dirty old rectum on occasion as well.

Apply to WhiteHouse.org if interested.

“If Russia is a paper tiger, then why is NATO afraid of it?)))”

Because NATO is a paper mouse and Murika’s army is a joke?

Russia must be feeling that there is enough NATO kit deployed that they need answer it, and also take the opportunity to monitor and test that NATO kit out in a combat setting. This is certainly allowing Russia to explore combat with NATO in a controlled manner – testing their tactics and NATO equipment capabilities.

All we need now is for South Front to find a way of deleting the ” I get paid more than $120 to $130 every hour for working on the web” Spam.

The rather tedious anti Russian Bots that band together with Talking Points are also deliberately disrupting the excellent South Front platform.

Thank you for all your hard work, South Front.
You are a welcoming Oasis in the desert of NATO lies.

Everything which is intended to suppress the criminal hand of the Terrorist organization called NATO is very welcome. NATO was and is a US khazar fake jew deep state construction to use it for implementation of an ongoing satanic agenda when any other form of coercion against others don’t work.

Picture of the Orthodox priest blessing the helicopter and pilot is great. That must burn the pretend-Christian President Biden.
