Partisans "ATESH" disabled the enemy’s electronic warfare system

The rebels disabled a Russian army electronic warfare complex by pouring sugar into the equipment’s fuel tank. The Russian military discovered the malfunction only several days later.

The sabotage was carried out by agent "ATESH" – a participant in the military partisan movement in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as in Russia. Photos and videos have been posted on their Telegram channel.

It is reported that their agent is a serviceman of the 344th Radio Engineering Regiment (military unit 30986 of the Russian Aerospace Forces, stationed in the Primorsky Krai). The target of the sabotage was the RP-377LA "Lorandit" electronic warfare complex.

"He quietly poured sugar into the fuel tank, after which he successfully escaped. The fatal malfunction was discovered only on the third day. The agent is now safe, and we continue to plan new strikes," the message states.

In "ATESH" it was reported that the command of the military unit is trying to hide the fact of sabotage from higher leadership, but now they will have to answer for the sabotage organized by their own servicemen.

"Lorandit" is a small-size electronic warfare complex for radio control, direction finding, and signal suppression. It was adopted by the Russian Armed Forces in 2019 and is actively used by the occupiers in the war against Ukraine. The cost of the complex exceeds 20 million rubles, and the production of new units is currently extremely difficult.
