Greek press: Turkish engineers tried to reprogram the S-400 air defense system "friend or foe"

SAM S-400 on the streets of Sinop

A material appeared in the Greek press, in which the editorial staff talks about how Turkey conducted tests of the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile system. We are talking about the tests of the S-400 "Triumph", which took place not so long ago in the Sinop region, on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. Even during those test firings in Greece, they closely followed the actions of the Turkish NATO partner, stating that Turkey now "can threaten the safety of flights in the Eastern Mediterranean."

Now the Greek newspaper Pentapostagma claims that Turkish military engineers "wanted to reprogram the" friend or foe "system of the air defense systems purchased from Russia." There is no confirmation of these statements, but there is another statement - already that "in Moscow such Turkish attempts have caused an extremely negative reaction."

It is stated that Turkish engineers "tried to hack the electronic brains of the S-400 complexes to make them more relevant for their own use." The Greek publication claims that Ankara is trying to achieve "an increase in the functionality of the S-400 air defense system, since the Turks are not satisfied with the Russian export version with certain restrictions."

It is quite possible that the S-400 air defense systems delivered to Turkey really differ from those similar complexes that are in service with the RF Armed Forces. However, statements about attempts to “reprogram the“ friend or foe ”system without providing specific facts look more like another attempt on the part of Greece to draw attention to Ankara's purchase of arms from Russia and, if possible, try to prevent the strengthening of Turkey's military potential. In Greece, the growing Turkish military power is clearly viewed as a threat, although both countries are de jure NATO allies.

that Turkish engineers "tried to hack the electronic brains of the S-400 complexes to make them more relevant for their own use."
that Ankara is trying to achieve "an increase in the functionality of the S-400 air defense system, since the Turks are not satisfied with the Russian export version with certain restrictions."

I do not see anything unnatural in these attempts by Turkey. On the contrary, why shouldn't the Turks do this and then pass them off as their Turkish modification as already for their products. After all, China also quite often sinned in its know-how, moving in a semi-its own way.

Therefore, it is not at all necessary that the Greeks are lying about Turkey in relation to the S-400 air defense systems supplied to it by Russia? They may not lie, but speak the truth.

Not so long ago on VO there was an article on this topic.Delivery of Russian S-400 air defense systems to Turkey and the possible consequences of this step

Yes, this is a great and great article! I will give a brief summary of its content.

On December 27, 2017, the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov, announced that Turkey was acquiring from Russia four divisions of S-400 air defense missile systems worth $ 2,5 billion. At the same time, only 45% of the total contract value would be paid by Turkey in hard currency, and the rest will cover the loan allocated by Russia. In addition to providing a loan one of the conditions put forward by the Turkish side was the provision of detailed technical documentation, and assistance to Turkish companies in the development of the production of the S-400 elements of interest to them.
The S-400 is currently the main air defense system in the RF Aerospace Forces, and we have nothing more advanced in our armament yet. The start of mass deliveries of S-350 to replace worn-out S-300PS is expected not earlier than in 2-3 years. The S-500 is designed to combat ballistic targets and to counter satellites in low orbits. Due to the very high cost of the S-500, it will be used only for the protection of especially important objects and in terms of the number of systems adopted in service, it is unlikely to compare with the S-400.
The potential for improving the S-400 air defense system is far from being exhausted.
The S-400 for Turkey really differ from the anti-aircraft systems in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces. But this does not mean that the export modification of the S-400 is, in terms of its main characteristics, inferior to the systems that are on alert in Russia.
As for the compatibility of the S-400 air defense system with the automated control systems of the NATO air defense system in Europe MASE, it depends on the will of the NATO command and the ability of the Turks to finance this event. The joint NATO air defense system uses the state-owned Mk.
Assurances that the supply of S-400 air defense systems to Turkey, which is part of NATO, cannot harm the defense capability of the Russian Federation, do not evoke understanding. The United States never missed an opportunity to familiarize itself in detail with Soviet and Russian-made air defense systems. So, at several American test ranges there are still operational radar stations that are part of the S-300PT / PS air defense system. A detailed study of the characteristics of the radars and the guidance station allowed American experts to create sufficiently effective jamming stations and develop optimal tactics for breaking through the air defense, which are based on the S-300 family systems.
At the end of December 2019, the American media reported that Turkey was ready to provide S-400 air defense systems for US study, in exchange for defrosting the supply of F-35A fighters. It may happen that the damage to Russia's defense capability will turn out to be much higher than the benefits from the receipt of additional funds in the budget. History already knows cases when, due to the short-sightedness of politicians, secret models of equipment and weapons were at the disposal of Western partners, and Russian planes were shot down by anti-aircraft missiles produced in our country.
The purchase by Turkey of the S-400 air defense system from the Russian Federation caused a crisis in the US-Turkish relations. But how long this effect will be. It is no secret that the actions of the Turkish President are often unpredictable, and in the past he took openly unfriendly steps towards our country. Erdogan fancies himself a new sultan, trying to return Turkey to its former status and the opportunity to speak on equal terms with the leading countries of the world.

[Petrik66]

What publications can be considered authoritative now? An information war is going on, part of the general war of the consolidated West against us. The injection of information is carried out purposefully and always has a specific task. In this case - to discourage any desire to buy our air defense systems. Either they lost to the Turks everywhere, and with a devastating score, the Turks hacked c400, then they are ready to hand them over to the United States. Well, the Americans really do not want to lose such a money market.

Here is what kind of war is against you, if you are not broadcasting from the Turkish trench, of course. The yellow rag, attracting the attention of readers, gives out a "sensation", and unforgettable to blame the Turks. Greeks and Turks have always had a difficult relationship, so the negative pressures of the two countries towards their opponents should not surprise anyone.

Or is Greek intelligence (I wonder if they actually have it?) - so powerful and omniscient? Or all the same information "OBS" ("One Grandma Said")?

In general, Greece has intelligence "ΕΥΠ - National Intelligence Service", and given that the main enemy of Greece is Turkey, intelligence clearly works very closely in Turkey, given their "love" and struggle for resources, so your smiley here is clearly superfluous + in Turkey there are a lot of foreign intelligence services (from NATO countries including) and the transfer of information to Greece could well have been, even the same Americans may well share such information with the Greeks, and they will accordingly take it into account, so find fault with where the Greeks got it from information is not worth it, but the fact that the Turks wanted to reprogram the "friend or foe" system is expected and quite in their spirit, ie they bought the S-400 with the expectation of studying the technology and, if it turns out, then master and release their own products (clone / copies of the S-400 in the Turkish manner).

However, there is a possibility that they are lying. The fact is that Ankara expressed its intentions to carry out additional purchases of S-400s, which the Greeks naturally cannot like, and therefore their actions to discredit the buyer in the eyes of the supplier, in terms of fulfilling contractual obligations, is quite a logical move. It was, it was not, until they figure it out, and the sediment will already remain.

Perhaps the way you say it. However, the problem is geopolitically seen even wider! Namely.

After all, the purchase by Turkey of the S-400 air defense system from the Russian Federation really caused not only concern in Greece, a NATO member, and in other countries, but also caused a crisis in American-Turkish relations.
At the same time, it turned out to be remarkable that at the end of December 2019, the American media already reported that Turkey was ready to provide S-400 air defense systems for US study, in exchange for unfreezing the supply of F-35A fighters.

It turns out that on the one hand, due to Turkey's unique geographic location, the United States and the European NATO countries are vitally interested in keeping Ankara in their circle of influence.
On the other hand, Erdogan himself imagines himself a new sultan, trying to return Turkey to its former status in the form of a neo-Ottoman Empire and the opportunity to speak on equal terms with the leading countries of the world.
And in this regard, Erdogan is indeed unpredictable not only for Greece, but also for Russia.

Modern Turkey is really now a powder keg, ready to blow up the world, if someone brings just a lighted match to it.

In 1985, approximately 800 girls in Noginsk under the guidance of 2621 Moscow engineers programmed the electroautomatics of the MTs-6 machine with CNC AS-2 for about a year, 2 engineers checked the program for half a year and discovered errors for another 2 years. Now a similar task with the design of a schematic diagram, electrical installation and programming of electroautomatics in the presence of a programmable controller, a program editor for it and a CNC for such a machine would be done by one person in a month in 4. At one time, it was in Noginsk that the automation of the first missile defense was developed and their successes forced the United States go to the first treaty with the USSR on arms limitation. There was also developed electroautomatics and CNC on magnetic domains for EDM machines, which had exceptional reliability. Although an important condition must be observed - there must be continuity in production, that is, the programmer must deal only with machines and programs for them and not sell additional bed linen, batteries, tools, television consoles, design the automation of dispensers, security systems in the nuclear industry, water treatment plants ...

The principles of radar have been known since the 1930s. Probably a big problem is the creation of an antenna and a signal receiver, and not a processing algorithm. If you know the physics of the process, then there is no problem to build a mathematical model and write a program, and if you do not know, then it makes no sense to take on an incomprehensible problem.

And that now the Turkish S-300 systems will no longer be able to shoot at Russian, Syrian, Armenian, Egyptian planes and will only destroy NATO and Chinese?

It seems that in Libya, Turkish drones inflicted considerable damage on Haftar's air defense, and Chinese drones inflicted a pro-Turkish proxy. That is, both the Turks and the Chinese create no less effective weapons than the Russians. Walk through the factories in Russia and see how many Chinese, Turkish, Ukrainian and Russian industrial electronics are there. In my opinion, the Turks are fighting the Ukrainians for the 2nd place, and the Chinese have deserved the first place.

I would not be so sarcastic about this phrase. There are a lot of programmers and electronics specialists in Turkey. They were able to create a strong base for the production of drones. They also develop many electronic systems for various areas of the economy. At least in the area where I work, the Turks are not badly represented. About 7-8 years ago, when I closely communicated with foreign suppliers of electronic products, people came from Turkey to present their technologies and everything was very good there.

In the PRC, the cost of cracking software ranges from $ 10 to $ 100 for weight controllers, frequency controllers and PLCs, although hacking should not be. I observed an identical temperature measurement error on the South China QMA frequency bands and the Shandong "Tai'an automatic equipment". Although Tai'an was programmed by South Koreans and used Texas instrument chips and German core modules. And QMA has purely budgetary Chinese components. The Chinese were able to clone Mitsubishi controllers and Swiss Baumer sensors. So Chinese programmers can customize both clones of baumers and baumers themselves. Also, Chinese clones of baumers are programmed without problems by a Chinese programmer. In C300, the complexity can only be with the creation of a radio signal and the processing of the echo of this signal received by the antennas. Everything else the Turks can easily reprogram. And after a year of negotiations, the Chinese demanded from DNPP to sell only key components and technologies, and not the entire installation.

there is such a topic that it is impossible to shoot down goals with a certain state belonging.
so the Turks began working on their F-16s when their F-16s refused to target Israeli F-16s.

[Toucan]

What do you mean "refuses to target"? CIUS turns off, does the on-board radar tracking fail, or does the GOS UR not see the target?
All this is from the realm of myths. When selling the Su-27 to the PRC on export vehicles
limited the number of letter frequencies at which the UR R-27R could be induced. Knowing these frequencies, it was possible to suppress them with interference and disrupt missile guidance.

Only the first batch of air defense missile systems was transferred with payment, there is also a second batch. Turkey acquires from Russia four divisions of the S-400 air defense missile systems for an amount of $ 2,5 billion. Turkey will pay 45% of this amount as an advance, 55% will be Russian loans .. .With any breach of contract, the deal is canceled with damages. This is a very long-term contract, not for one year

Rather not reprogramming, but hacking the algorithms of the friend or foe system. Most likely, the air defense system will not be able to shoot at air targets that respond correctly to the system's request, even if the Turks find where this feature is. There it is sewn into the hardware, and an attempt to "fix" it will most likely lead to "oskirpichivaniya" of the complex. But the algorithms are yes ... They can then be emulated on something, in their, so to speak, purposes.

Shushkevich sold it to Luka.

Investigation.

Topic: sale by the government of the Republic of Belarus of the S-300 air defense system in the USA (1995).

In 1995 A. Lukashenko sold the S-300 air defense system (the only installation in the Republic of Belarus used for training purposes at that time) to the United States. Only part of the installation was sold, since the early warning radar for low-flying targets and the algorithms for working with the complex were removed. Belarusian specialists tried to get the missing blocks in Russia, but were refused. Kazakhstan helped out, where they found the missing blocks.
As a result, the installation was loaded at a military airfield near Minsk into a US Air Force transport aircraft and sent overseas. The amount of the deal turned out to be ridiculous.

The protests of the Russian leadership, pointing to the secret characteristics of the complex at the time, were ignored by the official Minsk.

Purpose of the sale: A. Lukashenko in the first months of his presidency was looking for a "foothold". The United States, which at that time had a huge influence on the foreign and domestic policy of Russia, was among the first who, in the opinion of the Belarusian leadership, could push through Moscow's economic support for Minsk. The political cover was to be organized by Washington - a kind of "orange" version of the mid-90s.

Further extracts, quotes, sources:

1. Extract from the Report of the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS)
Defense Capabilities and Armed Forces (1996)
"In 1994, Belarus sold elements of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system to the United States, which was greeted negatively by many in Russia, as it damages Russia's national security and its position on the world arms market."

According to the information provided, Minsk has established the supply of both Soviet and

According to journalists, the S-300 complexes and ammunition for them were recently transferred in favor of Washington. It is specified that in this way Minsk violated the agreements concluded with the Russian Federation.

Both are in NATO. This will be the last day of NATO's commercial organization. All her clients will simultaneously scratch their turnips and ask the sacramental question: "What am I doing here? Yes for that kind of money ?!" - NATO, guys, this is the office for the distribution of orders of the American military-industrial complex among the lop-eared suckers ...

Either the skis do not go or the journalist is narrow-minded - how does he represent it? - and let's sew our zrk on the Zembabwe code - then we will not touch the Zebabweans and shoot down our Turkish ones, oh, a good idea! It seemed to me that the codes of someone else's for a specific customer were tightly sewn into the presence of the customer during the transfer. What a nonsense the Greeks write.

[The popuas]

Didn't you think that the Turks were trying to disable the bookmarks responsible for launching on Russian aircraft?

[Toucan]

It seemed to me that the codes of someone else's for a specific customer were tightly sewn into the presence of the customer during the transfer.

State identification codes have a limited validity period, and are re-entered after a certain time interval. For this purpose, special equipment is intended that generates a request-response code based on the original key, using a cryptographic algorithm. Such equipment is not supplied abroad, and therefore this "news" is a fake.

[O. Bender]

I support, colleague. I remember the change of codes was made on command from a higher command post. The comment below complements.

Unlikely,
Most likely this is an external block to which only Turks have access. There is a small "black box" in a separate rack, the interaction interface is agreed. С400 only organizes a channel for friend or foe requests. All decryption, encoding and verification of codes is done in a black box. On c400, only which targets are their own, which are aliens. This approach allows the customer to maintain secrecy according to the friend or foe system in cases of need to change the codes (for example, exclude the Greek ones from theirs).
Otherwise, the Turks would not buy air defense.

The screeching of the Greeks may be due to the fact that in their "black box" the Turks excluded the Greeks from theirs. And their planes are placed on target tracking / acquisition.

[evgen1221]

Well, it seems to me that such moments are initially negotiated with the buyer (you have everything of your own or you on your own) and it is sewn up tightly. This screeching, as I see it in this, consists in the fact that the Greeks are very afraid of the Greeks with a loud voice that the Turks have taken it for themselves and only for themselves.

[Kuz]

Be that as it may, the Turks received from Russia products that they did not have before.

[Avior]

Pure water fake.
In Russia, the password identification system is used, in Turkey, as in NATO in general, the American Mark XII system.
There is nothing in common, and there was no point in supplying the Password equipment to Turkey along with the S-400.

[rocket757]

Everything is complicated, but not critical.

[UA3QHP]

Question. Why would a NATO country break the NATO state recognition system with its missiles?

[rocket757]

So the experts clearly say that the identification system is installed or not, at the request of the customer ... but in fact it does not beat ours in any way.

[lopvlad]

"Increasing the functionality of the S-400 air defense system, since the Turks are not satisfied with the Russian export version with certain restrictions."

quite understandable desire, but what does the "friend or foe" system have to do with it, because no matter how much you program it, the range of the complex will not grow from this. Yes, and export versions of weapons a priori assume that they will have a "friend or foe" system installed on them.

According to journalists, the S-300 complexes and ammunition for them were recently transferred in favor of Washington.

It looks like a misinformation that would make it clear who and whom, is there something other than the "statement of journalists"?

At the same time, the American-Canadian company "ATOS" purchased the control cabin of the S-300 system from the Belarusian company Beltechexport. Moscow even knew that the cabin had been delivered to the Huntsville military base. The Russian Defense Ministry was categorically against this deal. Moreover, overseas buyers looked at the S-300 PMU model in the training center of the Minsk Higher Military Anti-Aircraft Missile School and began to conduct secret negotiations on the purchase of a part of it - the 40U6 computer complex. The Americans did not hide the fact that they were primarily interested in the combat program of the complex, the device of missile guidance heads and the structure of their fuel. Moscow already knew that one of the secret American design bureaus was planning to "give birth" to a more perfect heir to the Patriot, code-named PAC-3 ". Proud Americans have set themselves a maximum task - to make such an air defense system that would be the most powerful in the world.

And above all - better than Russian. According to information obtained by Kommersant from reliable sources, there were no more than five S-300 systems in Belarus at the time of the deal with the S-300. Two of them were on combat duty, covering the airspace over Minsk, and three were the training base of the Minsk Higher Engineering Anti-Aircraft Missile School (MVIZRU). Moreover, only one of the five complexes was a variant of the S-300 PS, all the others were PT and PT-1. On the removal of one of the two complexes from combat duty, for obvious reasons, "BATKA" "friend" and "ally and sold

Turkish engineers tried to reprogram the S-400 air defense system "friend or foe"

It looks like the Turkish S-400 has landed too many Bayraktars

Sounds like nonsense, It's like trying to edit the firmware, sand-lime brick.

when trying to hack, all guarantees are automatically canceled. In the event of equipment failure, such equipment is no longer subject to return or replacement or any maintenance.

it is not very scary. Test purchase was made, their goods

Well, what's next, hello, we’re here, or we are using what we have or everything is in the trash. striped even the S-300 could not copy-paste

[tolmachiev51]

In fact, such things should be provided for by the sales contract - they will hack. Reprogram and start shooting down all planes in a row and blame Russia for this - they put the "wrong" complexes. !!!

[EvilLion]

What can be hacked there? Does the S-400 contain a restriction not to shoot at planes with answers in the RF Air Force standard? I'm afraid that technically they will not do this, since this assumes that there is a code for this in the firmware that can be found. If the checks are similar to the CRC, then this will allow the development of imitation of Russian defendants. Well, after Belenko's escape, the "Belenkovo ​​button" was introduced on all Soviet aircraft, allowing you to manually disable the blocking of fire.

[Zaurbek]

Are there computers with Windows on the S400? And are they programmed at the household level?

Therefore, it is not at all necessary that the Greeks are lying about Turkey in relation to the S-400 air defense systems supplied to it by Russia? They may not lie, but speak the truth.

Have you ever wondered WHERE the Greeks know WHAT EXACTLY Turkish engineers tried to "hack or alter"? The Turks "whispered in their ear"? Or Greek intelligence (I wonder if they actually have it? ) - so powerful and omniscient? Or all the same information "OBS" ("One Grandma Said")?

There, in Greece, a WarGonzo branch was opened, Sema Pegov and his boss Aram Gabrielyanov provide the Greeks with insider information.

[gjkrjdybr50]

In the Turkish system, the Mark XII identification system is installed according to NATO standards. Improved antenna NRZ, connection, control and power systems. It's all not secret. The secret is the installation of the ShDU of the Mark XII system and the input of the codes (ciphers) of the identification system into it. It is impossible to remove Greece from the system, because codes (ciphers) of ShDU are all-NATO, although it is possible in some mode of identification and there is an additional sign of belonging to a particular state.

The Greeks have the C300, they probably judge them by themselves, they also look at them for a reason.

Turks do not sleep

How the identification system in the S-400 was made - I don't know. But from the experience of studying the S-300 (PVURE air defense) - systems were exported WITHOUT a "friend or foe" interrogator (well, and some more differences). I think it's the same with the S-400.
Formally, the interrogator is just a transceiver sending a request and receiving a response. The whole secret (and it has always been CC) is in the algorithm for forming the request and getting the correct answer. The Turks don't need this from the word "absolutely" They probably have their own identification system and, most likely, they simply installed their interrogator on the S-400.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a telephone conversation with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that the S-400 air defense system threatens the security of the American military. According to him, the sanctions against Ankara will prevent Moscow from receiving revenues and increasing its influence.

"Secretary of State Pompeo made it clear to Foreign Minister Cavusoglu that the acquisition of the S-400 system threatens the safety of American personnel and military technology, and also gives Russia access to the Turkish armed forces and defense industry," the US Department of State's deputy press chief said in a statement. Keila Brown. Mr. Pompeo called on his Turkish counterpart to "resolve the issue" with the S-400.

"The Secretary of State stressed that the purpose of the sanctions is to prevent Russia from gaining significant income, access, influence, and they are not aimed at undermining the military capabilities or combat readiness of Turkey or other US allies and partners," the statement said.

On December 14, the United States imposed sanctions on the Turkish Defense Industry Directorate and four senior officials from the department's leadership over the purchase of S-400 systems from Russia. The Turkish Foreign Ministry condemned Washington's actions and promised retaliatory measures. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the sanctions an attack on the country's sovereign rights.

More details about the sanctions are in the material of Kommersant "Turkey is being forced into an alliance."
