Himalayas

Description: The L402 Himalayas developed by the Kaluzhsky Scientific Research Radio-Technical Institute (KNIRTI) is an electronic countermeasures (ECM) suite intended to protect the Russian Air Force PAK FA T-50 fifth generation aircraft. The Himalayas uses the Byelka radar arrays and its own arrays to detect, jam and defeat Radiofrequency (RF)-based systems. One of Himalayas arrays is mounted in the dorsal sting between the two engines. The first L402 system was integrated onto the T-50 in early 2014.
