Tetrahedron or Tetrahedron is a compact, but powerful electronic warfare system of the Russian Army.
Tetrahedron electronic warfare system.
It was developed by the KRET corporation with the goal of countering all types of modern FPV suicide drones, as well as disabling enemy electronic systems, including radar, communication systems communications and radio navigation systems.
Unlike many broad-spectrum electronic warfare systems, the Tetrahedron suppresses electronics at frequencies of 400 to 500 MHz, which are commonly used to control popular drones. In addition, the system can also expand the suppression frequency up to 5,900 MHz when necessary.
According to the developers, Tetrahedron’s operating principle is to block drone control channels by causing interference and disconnection between the device and the control center. Depending on configuration, the Tetrahedron system has a capacity of 100 Watts to 450 Watts and the ability to intercept drones within a range of 40 to 500 meters.
Designed in modular form, Tetrahedron can be installed on many different types of vehicles. The entire system weighs only 10 to 40kg and uses power from 12 to 24 volts.

The special feature of Tetrahedron is its very cheap price, only from 230,000 to 515,000 rubles, equivalent to 2,500 to 5,500 USD, so it is suitable for mass equipment on the front lines.
During testing and actual combat in Syria and Ukraine, Tetrahedron demonstrated the effectiveness of practical electronic suppression. It is constantly being upgraded based on combat experiences in the Ukrainian battlefield.
