A photo of a French ship appeared near the eastern borders of Russia. The forces and means of the Eastern Military District control the actions of the Dupuy de Lome (A759) electronic intelligence ship of the French Navy in the waters of the Sea of Japan.
The ship was spotted the day before in the port of Hakodate in Japan. This is written by the Telegram channel “Military Observer”.
On June 23, 2006, the French Navy commissioned a new reconnaissance vessel, the Dupuy-de-Lom, named after an outstanding French shipbuilder Dupuy de Loma. Unlike its two predecessors, this vessel is specially designed to accommodate MINREM equipment (French: Moyen Interarmées Naval de Recherche ElectroMagnétique). Its mission is to intercept and analyze all types of signals, including those received using satellites. Minister of DefenseIn this regard, he stressed: “This vessel will carry out strategic interception from satellites, which will allow us to be one step ahead in the fight against terrorism. “The crew of the Dupuy-de-Lom has been reduced to 30 people, about 80 DRM and/or DGSE specialists work on the ship. For the first time in the history of the French navy, this ship was designed and built specifically for conducting electronic intelligence in the interests of DRM and became the successor of the Bougainville.
The radio-electronic equipment of Dupuy-de-Lom includes two navigation radars DRBN-38A, stations of satellite communication systems Syracuse and Inmarsat, a radar radiation warning and identification station of the ARBR-21 radar, radio and radio intelligence complexes. The latter make it possible to detect, locate and conduct technical analysis of radiation from various radars in the frequency range from 300 MHz to 90In addition, it can intercept, track and listen to signals from communication systems (including satellite) in the frequency range from 30 kHz to 100 GHz. The ship’s equipment is capable of intercepting the most modern types of transmissions, including e-mail messages and conversations on mobile phones.
In April 2014, shortly after the annexation of Crimea to Russia, “Dupuy-de-Lom” was present in the Black Sea.
