2024: Presentation of the version of the device that disables UAVs and radio-controlled explosive devices

In August 2024, Roselectronics presented the modernized Lesochek electronic warfare complex. The new version of the system not only protects armored vehicles from radio-controlled explosive devices, but is also capable of suppressing the navigation and control channels of commercial UAVs, which can be used, among other things, for reconnaissance, adjusting fire and striking with light ammunition, the manufacturer says.

According to the developers, the Lesochek complex, developed by the Sozvezdiye concern (part of the Roselectronics holding), has small dimensions, which allows it to be placed not only on armored vehicles, but also in a backpack or case.

The device generates wide-band interference signals both in the entire operating frequency band and in any combination of high band (HF), very high band (VHF) and ultra-high band (UHF) transmitters.

Roselectronics notes that Lesochek provides protection against radio-controlled mine-explosive devices installed on the route of military columns, in parking lots, as well as when moving railway rolling stock. In the new modification, the complex additionally has the function of suppressing satellite radio navigation.

In addition, Lesochek can be used to protect protected persons from radio-controlled mine-explosive devices when traveling on foot, including indoors. In places where official activities are carried out, it can be used to block the modes of receiving and broadcasting radio signals by "extraneous" receiving-emitting radio electronic means in order to protect confidential information.

Lesochek complexes are actively used in the zone of a special military operation. Based on the combat experience of use, our specialists are constantly working on the modernization of equipment, increasing its technical characteristics both in terms of weight and size parameters, as well as in terms of capacity and additional operating scenarios, "said Boris Movtyan, executive director of the Sozvezdiye concern.[1]
