The potential intelligence windfall from the electronic warfare battle in Ukraine continues, with the first confirmed capture of a vehicle from the Russian Taran-M signals intelligence, or SIGINT, system. The vehicle, captured by Ukrainian forces in the ongoing counter-offensive in the east of the country, is the latest addition to a growing collection of seized modern Russian electronic warfare (EW) equipment, which ranges from containerized components of vehicle-borne systems to airborne jamming pods.
The vehicle in question was reportedly captured by the Ukrainian Army in Kharkiv Oblast, from where Russian forces have recently retreated en masse, as you can read about here. The vehicle has been identified by various sources as an R-381T2M, part of the wider R-381TM Taran-M SIGINT system, which typically involves multiple vehicles, although these can also operate independently.
The R-381TM Taran-M is an upgrade of the Cold War-era R-381T Taran, described in Russian parlance as an ‘automatic radio intelligence complex.’ The job of this system is to monitor radio signals, eavesdropping on enemy forces’ communications across a range of frequencies. As well as providing raw intelligence in the form of intercepted communications, the Taran is also able to geolocate emitters, providing commanders with critical data on the actual positions of enemy forces. As such, it provides very high-value battlefield awareness of land forces, aircraft, and even naval ships in its vicinity.

A monitoring station...interesting.
Fixed it.
It’s a radio.
How do we know it was captured? All I see is a vehicle driving or being towed down a street.
Timber... I doubt the “ORKS” would have a Ukrainian flag flying on top, captured by the Ulrainians!
More to the point. Certain that it will soon be turned over to Biden’s Owners, the CCP.
The guy on the bike is a decoy!
Can it get ESPN+?
Perfect for those trips to Chicago, Minneapolis, or NYC...

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for September 18, 2022
- Ukrainian offensives in Kherson and Kharkov have both ground to a halt;
- Near Kherson, a Russian strike on a dam up-river of the Ingulets has flooded crossings, isolating Ukrainian bridgeheads east of the river;
- Ukrainian forces have been fighting for days attempting to take eastern Kopiansk with no success as Russian reinforcements arrive;
- Potential Ukrainian offensives elsewhere are still a possibility;
- Winter fighting may see Russian military aviation given the advantage as Ukrainian forces' ability to hide in forests diminishes;
- The US is sending fewer and fewer weapons and ammunition to Ukraine;
When does FJB deliver it to the Taliban?
wi their latest encryption technology...
What do you call a tank with a broken non-firing gun?
A portable radio
They still could not get a decent ATT cell phone signal.
Not even a full bar!!
