Iran deploys Russian Murmansk-BN electronic warfare system
Iran has recently installed Russian long-range electronic warfare systems, including the Murmansk-BN, in strategic locations across the country. The Murmansk-BN, one of Russia's most powerful communications jamming systems, can intercept and suppress enemy signals at a range of up to 8,000 kilometers. This system has been effective in the conflict in Ukraine, causing significant disruptions to NATO operations and neutralizing modern military targets.

For Israeli military forces, the Murmansk-BN poses a significant threat, particularly in the event of a regional conflict. Its ability to interfere with high frequency (HF) communications could harm the operations of the Israeli Army, Air Force and Navy, impacting mission planning, navigation and execution of operations, including with aircraft such as F-35I stealth fighters and drones Hermes 900.
The system can also interfere with the Israeli Navy's communications, affecting coordination during naval operations and the functioning of electronic systems on ships, such as Sa'ar 5 class corvettes and Dolphin class submarines, which depend on HF signals for their operations. .
The Murmansk-BN was developed by Russian company KRET and introduced in 2014. It is capable of jamming NATO and US high-frequency military communications at a range of 5,000 to 8,000 km, making it one of the most advanced electronic warfare tools globally . Its deployment could seriously impact US and NATO stealth aircraft operations.
The growing tension between Iran and Israel, fueled by recent events, continues to escalate, and the international community has called on both sides to de-escalate the conflict. However, internal crises in both countries make it difficult to reduce aggressiveness, and information and technology warfare is a fundamental component of this growing dispute.
