#Ukraine : The first documented loss of a valuable Russian Leer-2 electronic warfare system based on the Tigr chassis - it was destroyed back in spring presumably in #Mykolaiv Oblast. This is a pretty modern system with the first examples entering the Russian service back in 2012. pic.twitter.com/ooDfaSV3VM

Leer-2 is a relatively new electronic warfare station. The first units entered service with the Russian army 10 years ago. At the same time, the Russians began installing the Leer-2 on the Tiger-M armored vehicles only in 2017.
The complex is used for reconnaissance of radio emission sources and installation of obstacles. "Leer-2" can operate both on the ground and in motion. The high level of mobility allows the radio-electronic warfare station to be used in close proximity to the enemy.
