Ukraine Burns Russia’s 5,000-Km Murmansk-BN Electronic Warfare Giant in Crimea

Ukrainian military intelligence tracked down and struck a Russian Murmansk-BN electronic warfare station near Cape Fiolent in temporarily occupied Crimea, Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence Directorate reported on July 30.

The operation was carried out overnight from July 26 to 27 by specialists from HUR’s Unmanned Systems Department.

Ukraine said its operators located the high-value system before successfully hitting it near Crimea’s southwestern coast.

The Murmansk-BN is a large coastal electronic warfare complex designed for signals intelligence, communications interception, and the jamming of shortwave radio transmissions.

Russia claims the system can disrupt communications at ranges of up to 5,000 kilometers, or roughly 3,100 miles, allowing it to interfere with military networks far beyond the immediate battlefield.

Destroying or disabling the station could weaken Russia’s ability to monitor and disrupt long-range communications across the Black Sea region and beyond.

Earlier, HUR said its drone operators destroyed key elements of a Russian S-400 Triumf air defense system in temporarily occupied Crimea.
