HIMARS Hits Leer-3 EW System in Zaporizhzhia Region

The Ukrainian military managed to detect and strike the Russian Leer-3 electronic warfare system in the Zaporizhzha direction.

Military Mykola Kolesnik said that the system was spotted during his reconnaissance of the location of the enemy forces.

“[It was] Tightly covered with air defense,” mentioned Mykola Kolesnik.

The EW system detected and adjusted the fire drone of the LUFTWAFFE unit of the 129th Territorial Defense Brigade.

The American HIMARS rocket launcher scored a direct hit on the position of the invaders with just one round.

The military also noted that at the moment of impact, there were operators in the Russian system who were eliminated.

“The target was destroyed, along with the operators,” added Mykola Kolesnik.

RB-341V Leer-3 is a modern Russian electronic warfare and signal intelligence system specializing in GSM cellular networks.

The Leer-3 system is also equipped with Orlan-10 UAVs with repeaters that, in addition to jamming electronic signals, can establish control over cellular communication.

Four drones can be operated from one post at a time.

In addition, radio equipment allows it to establish stable communication channels with other ground stations to create a network of thirty operators’ workplaces.

Recall that in early April, Ukrainian defenders destroyed the Russian Zhitel electronic warfare jamming communication station in the Zaporizhzhia region.
