This is a turret multispectral optronic system AN / AAS-52, and a complex (container type) surface radar reconnaissance AN / APY-8, and telemetry and secure satellite communications stations, and data exchange system Link-16 terminal.

Information from JSC KRET and FGBU Central Research Institute of the #Russian Ministry of Defense shows that specialists from these organizations were able not only to study the pinout of the ultra-high frequency units of the APY-8 radar ...

... but also determine the power parameters of its operation, including the inverse synthetic aperture (ISAR) and synthesized aperture (SAR) modes.
/5
They can also calculate interference immunity and approximate radar resolution based on data from primary (secondary) conversion devices for reflected radar signals.
/6
Not only that, they can now calculate the magnification of the AN/AAS-52's long-range optics and electronics: the infrared sighting and the TV module. The type or resolution of the matrix photodetectors used in it won't be a secret either.
/7
In the future, it will be possible to analyze the capabilities of the #USA complex to identify and classify #Russian military equipment at different distances and in different weather conditions.

... that provide possibility to simulate effective countermeasures modes by #Russian electronic warfare means.
