7500 kHz
A number of similar HF radar signals have recently been observed on KiwiSDRs located in Europe on different frequencies.
The pulse repetition rate is 40 Hz (25 ms/pulse).

abs(IQ) |
Each pulse consists of a linear chirp and of a pause.

KiwiSDR TDoA multilateration indicates that these signals come from somewhere in Russia.

Bursts of what seem to be linear FM chirps have been observed on different frequencies around 8050±~50 kHz.
6390 kHz
Like the signal on 7500 kHz the pulse repetition rate is 40 Hz. However the duty cycle is smaller.

8050 kHz
For this signal, the pulse repetition rate is 96 Hz.

Each pulse consists likely of a linear chirp. The spikes in the instantaneous frequency seen below are probably cause by HF propagation effects. Note that these radar-like signals are narrow-band (±1kHz variation in instantaneous frequency, only)

KiwiSDR TDoA multilateration indicates a position somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean (compatible with the Azores).
