Speaking to Sputnik Iran, Danil Gatilov said that the Borisoglebsk-2 is designed to suppress mobile satellite communications and satellite-based navigation signals of a potential enemy.

"The Borisoglebsk-2 system is currently being upgraded. There is nothing like this system either in Russia or abroad in terms of its  technical characteristics. The Borisoglebsk-2 is capable of detecting enemy ground-based sources of communication at a distance of more than 20 kilometers," he said.

Referring to the Borisoglebsk-2, Gatilov did not rule out that this "unique" product may be become the jamming system of choice for a whole array of countries.

"Judging by our talks with foreign customers, the subject of electronic surveillance is of great importance both to Russia and elsewhere. That's why our unique system is of interest to our customers from the Middle East, Asia and South America," he said, especially referring to Iran.
