Vitebsk-25 operates in passive and active modes. In passive mode, the report notes that the system scans an area with radar, radar and laser warning receivers, and IR and ultraviolet (UV) sensors, dispensing chaff and flares automatically if a missile launch is detected.
In active mode, the source states that Vitebsk-25 directly engages the IR seeker head of an incoming missile, possibly blinding it by laser.
The system may also be effective against multi-mode missiles, as the source states it uses powerful jamming to disrupt radar-guided missiles, forcing them to shift into IR guidance and go after decoy flares.
Yes, come in closer Russians! Come in where the Patriots can kill you!
Did China pay Bide & Assoc. to allow the balloon to completely traverse the country and other useful intelligence or did they claim payment of performance on all the money they have already provided for our political class?

Not bad for a gas station posing as a country, with an economy smaller than Denmark...
Works as well as their hypersonic missile?
“This month, Eurasian Times claimed that a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter with the Vitebsk-25 countermeasures suite recently evaded 18 missiles while on a combat mission in Ukraine, jamming the missiles, completing its mission, and returning to base unharmed.”
Yeah, right.... Is that before or after it knocked its own tail off while jettisoning it’s stores to evade ground fire?
Ok, Ukraine should just switch to old wire-guided missiles then. Can’t jam those.
