Khibiny (electronic countermeasures system)

Khibiny (L-175V) (Хибины) (Л-175В) is a Soviet / Russian aircraft electronic countermeasures (ECM) system. The name refers to Khibiny Mountains.

The system is designed for radio direction-finding and probing signal source irradiation allowing it to distort reflected signal parameters. This helps to

  • Delay aircraft detection;
  • Mask the true subject against false reflections;
  • Cause range finding difficulties, namely in speed and angular positions;
  • Degrading Maintenance Mode TWS when scanning antenna beam radar;
  • Increase the time and difficulty of capturing an object during real-time active scanning;
  • Create "false electronic situation", meaning to create electronic "clones".
