Do the Russians have any variation of the trophy system?

Arena is an active system, which has not been adopted or deployed

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena_(countermeasure)

Tanks firing rockets, grenades or frag systems into their immediate area, on "autopilot", is not healthy for infantry dismounts or other living things.

Shtora, a passive system for disabling incoming guidance systems, is in wide deployment.
