Belarus Turns 60-Year-Old "Bukhanka" Van into Electronic Warfare Jammer

The Belarusian company OAO “KB Radar,” part of the “Radar Systems” holding, has developed and launched mass production of new electronic warfare systems to counter multicopters and FPV drones—the portable “Fumigator-N” and the vehicle-mounted “Fumigator-V” based on the “Bukhanka” van.

According to the Belarusian state-owned Telegram channel Goskomvoenprom on August 11, both systems are built on a modular principle: each jammer suppresses a specific frequency range, ensuring maximum range for blocking control channels, data transmission, and navigation. This design allows the equipment to be flexibly installed on vehicles, stationary objects, or used as part of mobile units, adapting to specific tasks.

The “Fumigator-N” is equipped with 12 jammers, runs on batteries, and is designed to protect personnel in field conditions.
