Why does Israel buy the USSR development complex from Kiev? Experts ponder

The network published information about the acquisition by Israel of the military-technical complex from Ukraine. The speech, as reported, is about the automated station of passive radio intelligence (ASPRTR) "Kolchuga-M". According to some reports, Israel had previously concluded a corresponding agreement with the Ukrainian company Ukrspetsexport.

At the same time, it is alleged that the private company Airsom, for the needs of the Israeli military, was the buyer of Kolchugi-M aviation. It is noted that the reconnaissance complex will be used during the exercises of the Israeli Air Force. Why exactly this complex interested the Israeli company is not reported.

Experts point out that in Israel they can do a thorough study of its capabilities in order to assess the level of danger of its use by Israeli opponents in the region. However, Israel’s opponents in the Middle East do not have the “Kolchug” in service. But there are other (similar) complexes.

Kolchuga-M is a modernization of the automated passive RT-intelligence station developed in the Soviet Union. In serial version, "Mail" is made from 1987 year. The station is able to track air targets at a distance of 800 km (at altitudes of 10 thousand meters), ground - up to 600 km. At the same time, targets are not only detected, but are rather effectively recognized.

Kolchuga-M allows monitoring of emissions in a wide frequency range: 135-170 MHz, 230-470 MHz, 750-18 thousand MHz. The station is capable of simultaneously tracking signals from 200 for various purposes. To do this, use the 36-channel receiver and additional electronics.

To date, "Kolchuga" are produced on the SPC "Iskra" in the Zaporozhye region (Ukraine). At the same time, the production is actually "piece" in nature.

This is also supported by the fact that the Israelis became interested in Kolchuga-M, which differs from just Kolchuga in the main element base (the “M” has “western” on it, which facilitates the process of borrowing and copying).
I am interested in something else: How was it possible to establish the production of "Kolchuga" at the Zaporozhye plant "Iskra", if, as before 2012, all the production of these systems was concentrated at NPO "Topaz", located in Donetsk!!! There was also all the equipment and documentation! ..... It is doubtful ...

What??? Do you, Vitali at least IMAGINE WHAT is a RTR station ??? Judging by your - comment - ABSOLUTELY NOT REPRESENT !!! So - this is ordinary RADIO DETECTOR!!! Exactly - OH !!! Only a very "large", highly sensitive and complex one - allowing to survey a very wide frequency range, to determine the bearing (and in the case of air targets - and the elevation angle) and with the help of a computer complex (into which databases on all known sources of EMP are previously "filled in" - radars, radio stations, electronic warfare equipment, radio beacons, etc.) determine the type of emitter (by analyzing the frequency, shape, duty cycle of signals). Also, if the output power of the emitter of the EME emitter (the same radar, for example) is known in advance by the damping decrement, it is sometimes possible to approximately estimate the distance to the object (but with a very large error). And to accurately determine the distance, nothing better than the triangulation method (intersection of bearings from 3 points by synchronized stations) has not yet been invented.
Well, HOW are they (in the sense of the RTR station "overload in power" ??? Have you ever heard that the radio "burned out" from a too strong signal on the antenna ???

So - this is a normal DF!

For education at the vocational school level, this is probably the case. Although the same vocational school would ask: if everything is so simple, then why did Israel, and earlier China, Georgia, Vietnam buy them and pay a lot of money?
Of course, I could tell you in detail what triangulation and the correlation-basic method of signal detection are, for many years I have been engaged in scientific research in this area and even have a Russian patent for an invention. But this is the Internet and I do not want to facilitate the work of our Israeli, Ukrainian and Georgian "friends". Let them scratch their turnips. Therefore, believe the specialist, the Kolchuga MRT has weaknesses and those who need to know this, even in the media there was some information, prada at a theoretical level. And I advise you to learn something. For example, the Zhukov Academy of East Kazakhstan Oblast has a department of electronic warfare, which is not very respected by me. Not very respected, because the scientific school of the Soviet GRU produces too categorical specialists, no doubt and no imagination, which significantly complicates the introduction of technologies, especially those that have no Western analogues. But with your categorical nature, you will quickly find like-minded people there.
Good luck in the New Year!

[Rusfaner]

Have you heard about the dynamic overload of the receiver at the input?
If a signal exceeding the dynamic range of the RF amplifier or, in its absence, of the mixer, is applied to the input of the PRM, then, firstly, the sensitivity will drop, and secondly, so many "combinations" will be generated that you can turn off the monitor.

Quote: professor

Such a shitty translation of course:

Israel will start supplying modern Merkava-4 tanks to Georgia. Information about this was disseminated by the information and analytical portal "Economic Security".
According to unspecified "world media", the Israeli Defense Ministry gave the go-ahead for the delivery of the Merkava-4 to the armies of friendly states in agreement with the American administration. Georgia is also among the friendly countries.
Tank "Merkava-4" is recognized by experts as one of the best tanks of our time. Earlier, the Israeli military industry produced several dozen Merkava-4 tanks a year, and all of them were used exclusively by the IDF.
Recall that after the August war of 2008, Israel at the request of Russia stopped supplying arms to Georgia.
However, due to the fact that Russia continues to supply strategic weapons to Israel's opponents in the region (in particular, the powerful Yakhont anti-ship cruise missiles to the Syrians), Israel is resuming military cooperation with Georgia, whose army remained virtually unarmed as a result of the war with Russia.

Military cooperation with Georgia was terminated at 2008 at the request of its northern neighbor. Therefore, there was no question of any supplies of Merkava to Georgia.

I read the TTX and did not quite understand how this station works. It turns out that it reads radio signals that spread over long distances through reflection in the troposphere, that is, does this station only see active radars or the equipment on which the radars are turned on or the radio stations work to transmit data?

But the same aircraft that flies with the radar switched off in the radio silence mode will not be detected by such a complex, just like a tank whose station does not work; the radio station does not work for transmission, we will not be visible to it either.

A significant plus of such a complex is a range of 800 km, which makes it possible to detect radars and AWACS aircraft that will direct fighters at targets or simply conduct reconnaissance.

Now in Israel, such complexes were delivered to Russia back in the USSR, the plant that produced them "Topaz" in Donetsk. That is, if Russia in the leadership of the Ministry of Defense is not full of mugs, then we have such a complex for a long time, and it probably already works in Syria today. So the Jews bought it, train their vultures and develop tactics to counter such detection complexes.

Ukraine supplied similar complexes to China, Azerbaijan, Ethiopia, Turkmenistan, Vietnam and Georgia.

And the same plane that flies with the radar switched off in the radio silence mode doesn’t detect such a complex, nor does the tank whose station the radio works on, the radio doesn’t work for transmission, it will not be visible to it either

At least the Czech counterpart with a wider range of viewed frequencies, but with a lower detection range, the Americans purchased.
It is possible that this station will track the movement and the presence in one place or another of Syrian air defense systems. A peculiar response to our supply of S-300 systems to Syria. At least the parameters of this station make it possible to record ground targets practically throughout Syria, part of Turkey, northern Egypt, all of Jordan, part of Iraq and Saudi Arabia. And air targets - even further.

Apparently study our school, principles and find methods of struggle. At the same time, take some of this into the development of our systems.

They may study the design school, but as for the principles of action, it is still not our invention. The main breakthrough in these developments was made in Czechoslovakia in the late 50s. Unfortunately, scientists from the former Soviet bloc, well aware of the pros and cons of radars, spent many years in the field of passive radio intelligence, but without much success.

And the first stations of this type appeared in Czechoslovakia - the PRP-1 "Koras" station In service since 1963. Then the PRP-2 or KRTP-81 "Ramona" station appeared (one such complex was delivered to Syria), then the KRTP-81M "Ramona-M" (two complexes plus one training one were delivered to Syria), KRTP-86 "Tamara", KRTP-91 "Tamara-M", and finally the last generation station "Vera" (2004-2005). The latter two were acquired by the United States. Stations like "Ramona" (14 units), "Ramona-M" (10 units) and "Tamara" (15 units) were supplied to the USSR. After that, the development of our Kolsuga stations began. So they are unlikely to learn anything new about ours. The only definite plus of the Kolchuga is their detection range. 600 km for ground targets and 800 km for air targets (flying at an altitude of 10 km)

The cost of the station can be estimated at 24 million million dollars as of 2011. According to the director of Topaz Donetsk holding, in Ukraine in 2007 there was not a single Kolchuga workstation. As of 2009, according to various sources, in Ukraine there were 19 arsenals of Kolchug and Kolchug-M stations in service. While Ukraine delivered to Russia 18 stations "Mail" after 1992.

Maybe. But to declare that in passive mode to detect ground targets at a distance of 600 km, and even with difficult terrain - I think this is complete nonsense! No one has such technologies yet

[Tektor]

Well, why - it’s obvious here: open the A2 / AD zone around Hmeimim and Tartus, because only passive reconnaissance stations are capable of tracking targets in closed access zones. There is a Czech station, but with weaker characteristics. And Mail is a unique passive radar with excellent performance characteristics.

[shans2]

it all works if there is no electronic warfare that covers and mimics any targets ... including against such radio intelligence. That is the problem, the partners are 20 years behind Russia. Because fuss delivers.

[shalkir]

Isn't passive radars "choking" with modern electronic warfare?

[Tektor]

As far as I know - do not choke: EW against passive is useless. That's why it is passive, which does not emit anything, but only fixes and recognizes. And how Kolchug is able to detect ground objects at ranges up to 600 km - this is a great miracle. We do not have such. We have Casta-2-2, which can detect near surface objects at ranges up to 100 km. And there is Valeria, which has approximately the same detection range.

Most likely, the electronic warfare systems do not crush but deceive passive radars, they see not what they really are.

[Adimius38]

all right, but Russian urry patriots do not believe it

[mehan]

For Chainmail there is no curvature of the Earth.

[Lamatinets]

Afraid, what if you bomb them?

[tac26]

Why buy yes to find out how it was possible to do IT on such an element base and how to upgrade and repeat

[Adimius38]

You can argue for a long time about this station, but one thing is obvious: it will give Israel a lot of valuable information to a depth of 600 km from its border by land and 800 km in the air. And I repeat this again the whole territory of Syria with Lebanon put together exactly where the Israelis actively stick their nose

Why do we all say here that this complex is Ukrainian? It was made at the union, at an enterprise that is already in the DPR. And they could not modernize it to the modern level. Apparently their entire letter "M" in the name consists in a transfer from the Urals to their Kraz

Because the complex was created at an enterprise located in the city of Donetsk. Which at that time was the regional center of Ukraine. Therefore, now they sometimes say that it is a Soviet, and now Ukrainian complex.

They were able to modernize it to the modern level. And "M" does not consist in transferring from "Ural" to "KRAZ". You should not consider the Ukrainian military-industrial complex as complete de-bills, who can do nothing. By the way, 18 of the 30 Kolchug-M stations produced after the collapse of the USSR were supplied to the Russian Armed Forces. Or do you think that our suckers did not know what they were taking?

And the Special Design Bureau OJSC, Donetsk National Technical University, Saturn Kiev enterprise, Poltava Elsis OJSC, Orizon (Smela), KPK NPK Iskra, Generator participated in the development of the new version of Chainmail ”(Kiev),“ KrAZ ”, Department of Radio Engineering and Radio Engineering, NTUU“ KPI ”.

[voyaka uh]

Israel has always bought samples of Soviet / Russian technology from third parties for study.
If you could not take the trophies.
This is a common practice.

[barik92090]

And in Russia there are many of their agents who are ready to sell their mother.

[Dzafdet]

They will work out ways to break through Syrian air defense.

[Yaroslav K.]

Probably the station will be used for its intended purpose. "Kolchuga" can open the entire air defense system of Syria in a couple of days. Radar location, work schedule, working parameters, etc. Suppressing a station is the same as suppressing all surrounding radars.

[COJIDAT]

Happy New Year comrades! At the outskirts, there were 19 of them, I wonder how much they pulled, taking into account the piece production of this pepelats. Most likely, someone from the Union republics of the USA will be sold through Israel.

[please]

Syria and Russia are going to mute the guidance channels of the air defense of Syria and Russia. Yes, and train their own in the conditions of electronic warfare as close as possible to combat ones.

[Antares]

The Israeli company Airsom Ltd. I bought the Kolchuga-M radio-technical reconnaissance station from Ukraine, reports Defense Blog referring to the import and export tracking website ImportGenius. There is no official confirmation of this information yet.

so this is all unofficial.

you look at the price-61031209,97 (61 million)
the picture is incomplete - for such a sum not only the "hardware machine" is included ...
The price for 2011 on the network is 24 million. By the way, they were not selling to private traders.

Nice to read knowledgeable people! Yours faithfully!

It is dangerous to transfer weapons to a country that, at any (usually the most inappropriate) moment, can lay a multi-way trick.
