"Khibiny" is an aviation electronic countermeasures system designed to protect the aircraft from guided missiles by delaying the detection of the aircraft itself; creating false targets; creating interference to make it difficult to measure the range to the object, its speed and angular position, etc. Developed at the Kaluga Radio Engineering Research Institute. Currently used on front-line Su-34 bombers, it was reported about the creation of complexes for Su-30SM and Su-35S fighters.

Massively began to be supplied to the troops after 2010, for 2017, all Su-34 front-line bombers in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces were equipped with Khibiny electronic warfare systems.

Unlike the basic model, the Khibiny-2 electronic warfare system has a wider coverage area and a working area of destruction, which allows to double the survivability of the machine during combat.
