A threat emitter—which militaries normally use for training aircrews—broadcasts a signal similar to an air-defense radar without possessing the same signal-processing systems and without cueing an actual missile or gun. It’s just frightening noise.
But that noise is useful to a clever planner. A threat emitter could create the impression that local defenses are more powerful than they actually are, potentially deterring air raids. Emitters also could draw enemy fire—and even lure attacking forces into traps.
It’s unclear exactly which threats the emitters in question replicate. But it’s possible to guess. Back in 2018, Ukrainian firm IskraThe 36D6M1-1, also known by its codename “Tin Shield,” is associated with the S-300 SAM system. That the Americans have a Tin Shield radar implies they might also have produced Tin Shield threat emitters.The S-300 is capable of engaging targets as far as 125 miles away, depending on the model.
