In Belgrade, Russian Krasukha-2 and Krasukha-4 electronic warfare systems were showcased for the first time at a military parade. Their appearance confirmed that Moscow had supplied the weapons to Serbia despite sanctions, Defence Blog reports.
At the Serbian army parade in Belgrade, the latest Krasukha-2 and Krasukha-4 electronic warfare systems were spotted. Until now, their presence in the country’s arsenal had not been officially confirmed. The demonstration became the first public proof that Russia had transferred these systems to Belgrade.
Unknown delivery details
According to the media outlet, the timing of the transfer, their number, and cost remain undisclosed. The transportation route is also unclear. Analysts do not rule out that third countries may have been involved in delivering the weapons.
Problems with contracts
Earlier in 2025, Serbian authorities terminated several agreements with Russia’s defense industry. The reason was Moscow’s difficulties in fulfilling arms delivery obligations. In particular, this may have affected the transfer of Kornet anti-tank systems to Belgrade.
Krasukha-2
The Krasukha-2 system (official designation 1L269) is mounted on an eight-wheeled platform and is used to counter airborne reconnaissance systems.
Its exact parameters are classified, but according to open sources, its range may reach up to 300 km. The Russian army officially adopted these systems back in 2012.
Earlier, Serbia officially confirmed its commitment to supporting Ukraine’s territorial integrity and its aspirations for integration into the European Union, while at the same time stating that under current conditions, it will not join anti-Russian sanctions.
Furthermore, Serbia declared its unwavering support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity under international law and expressed readiness to take part in rebuilding one or two Ukrainian cities or specific regions.
