The Russian Drozd system didn’t do all that well in Afghanistan and Chechnya. The Shtora IR jammer did better, but obviously doesn’t work against TOW type, radar guided or unguided missiles. Their latest stab at it is the Arena protection system, but it hasn’t been in combat yet that I know of.

Is that newer or older than the recent versions of ARENA? I've heard of it and how it wasn't nearly as effective as expected but have no idea which system is being developed, refined, etc. I know I heard of Drozd being deployed before I heard ARENA was, but don't know the genesis of the two.

Would Drozd not living up to expectations lead to the employment of ARENA instead maybe? Inquiring minds want to know.
