Krasukha-2 EW System: Enhancing India's S-400 Air Defense Strategy
Russia has reportedly offered India the Krasukha-2 Electronic Warfare (EW) System, a ground-based platform designed to jam and deceive hostile radar systems, particularly to protect the advanced S-400 Triumf air defense network. This system disrupts airborne early warning radar signals, misdirects radar-guided missile seekers, and creates false targets, thereby enhancing India’s integrated air defense strategy. The integration of Krasukha-2 with indigenous radar efforts, such as the DRDO’s AWACS and upcoming Netra Mk2, signifies India’s commitment to strengthening its aerial surveillance capabilities. This move underscores the growing emphasis on non-kinetic warfare in India’s defense posture, which aims to bolster regional security amid evolving threats.
