According to information circulating in the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) President Putin signed yesterday morning an order asking the 58th Army Military District of the North Caucasus to deploy immediately regiments “selected” and specialized brigades in military electronic warfare, air defense systems, multiple rocket launchers, anti-tank equipment and artillery forces at the Turkish-Armenian border, a total of nearly 7,000 Russian soldiers currently being state of complete fight.
According to this information, the legal authority for this massive combat deployment is due to the Russian-Armenian agreement on common air defense system signed by President Putin on November 11 and will be finalized this week by Prime Minister Medvedev.
With Armenia becoming an essential part of the Common Strategy of the Russian air defense, military forces of the Russian Federation will now be able to counter threats from Turkey says several anonymous sources.
It is important to note that during this military deployment of the Russian Federation in Armenia, these forces will be protected, like their counterparts operating in Syria, with S-400 (NATO designation SA-21 Growler) mobile systems missiles medium and long term Sol-Air and jamming platforms Krasukha-4 giving them total superiority of air defense on more than 85 per cent of Turkish territory.
Krasukha-4 is a mobile broadband equipment, mounted on the chassis 8 X 8 type BAZ-6910-022, which scrambles the surveillance radars military satellites, ground-based radars and airborne AWACS and those mounted on unmanned aircraft (drone).
The Krasukha-4 is the only system capable of blurring the American spy satellites family Lacrosse / Onyx. These satellites fly in low orbit and equipped with SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) that allows them to penetrate the layer of clouds and the ground or walls of buildings, with a resolution of 20 cm.
The 4-Krasukha equipment is being set up in Syria on the Russian air base Hmeymim (Governorate of Latakia) and creates an invisibility shield to the objects in the air and on the ground with a radius of 300 km. The Krasukha-4 is able to “blind” radars for detecting and guiding anti-aircraft missiles MIM-104 Patriot located on the Turkish border, and also radars Turkish fighter aircraft F-16C off from the Incirlik base and helping to establish a “no fly zone” over Syria.
