Black Mirror reveals classified details of Russia’s Krasukha-4 system

Russian military secret exposed by hackers

According to the newspaper WP Tech, the hacker collective Black Mirror has leaked a cache of classified documents allegedly tied to Rostec.

The files include never-before-seen photos and technical specifications of the Krasukha-4 electronic warfare system — one of Moscow’s most advanced tools for disrupting enemy radar and communications.

Rare glimpse into a top-tier EW system

The Krasukha-4, officially designated, is designed to jam radars on aircraft, satellites, and missiles. The newly released materials reportedly show the system’s assembly, wiring, and testing procedures.

Photos suggest 2023 production timeline

According to WP tech, the leaked photos were likely taken in 2023. They appear to document the manufacturing process at a Russian defense facility and were possibly included in a production report prepared for a foreign client potentially Serbia.

What the images reveal

The complete Krasukha-4 system consists of two large vehicles mounted on KamAZ-6350 8×8 chassis — one serving as the electronic warfare transmitter, and the other as the command post.

Capabilities and contested claims

The manufacturer, KRET (Konsern Radioelectronnye Technologii), lists the system’s effective range as 150 to 300 kilometers, depending on environmental factors.

Russian state media have claimed that its emissions can damage sensitive electronics — though these claims remain unverified in open-source analysis.

Strategic implications of the leak

The Russian government has long treated its electronic warfare architecture as a state secret.

By exposing detailed imagery and layout information, this leak could give Western intelligence agencies valuable insight into how Russia designs and deploys its EW assets. However, without access to performance data, many operational details remain speculative.

Part of a broader cyber campaign

This is not the first time Black Mirror has targeted Russia’s defense industry.

According to Defence Blog, the group has previously released confidential files on drone manufacturing, radar exports, and tank upgrades — suggesting a coordinated cyber campaign aimed at undermining the secrecy of Russian military production.

A new front in information warfare

The disclosure of the Krasukha-4 blueprints underscores how cyber operations are becoming a key weapon in the modern intelligence battlefield.

As Moscow scrambles to contain the fallout, analysts say the leak could reshape how adversaries study — and counter — one of Russia’s most sophisticated electronic warfare systems.
