Grach

Description: The Grach is an advanced countermeasures system developed by the United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation and designed to counter electro-optical sensors. The Grach emits bright flares to blind electro-optical devices such as night vision equipment, binocular glasses and laser rangefinders. The principal tradeoff of this countermeasure system is its compelling need of electrical power which is not available in current warships. The Grach was selected to equip the nuclear-powered Lider class destroyers in September 2016.
