Despite Russia’s constant bombardment of peaceful cities and Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, people there have not lost heart and are even more determined to defend their country’s independence. Moscow’s missiles and kamikaze drones only harden them more. Ukrainian troops are slowly retreating, but they are still desperately fighting the aggressive Putinoids.
In particular, in the rear, Ukrainian engineers have managed to develop electronic warfare systems that are used to protect against massive attacks by kamikaze drones.
Experts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) point out that Ukrainian inventions in the field of electronic warfare allow the Armed Forces to effectively respond to massive Russian drone attacks.
“The growth of domestic production of Russian Shahed drones has allowed Russia to increase the number of drones it uses in attacks on Ukraine, but Ukrainian innovations in electronic warfare (EW) allow Ukrainian troops to respond more effectively to Russian drone attacks.”
Thus, the number of Shahed-type drones or decoy drones that were “suppressed” (did not reach their targets) by Ukrainian electronic warfare capabilities increased significantly in October and November.
For example, “During one launch, 78 out of 105 Shahed drones were shot down, and 23 of them, according to the Ukrainian Air Force, were ‘lost’ due to electronic warfare (22%).
Another attack. Putinoids launched 110 drones – 50 of which were “suppressed” by Ukrainian electronic warfare (45%), and 52 of which were shot down by Ukrainian forces.”
Ukrainian forces have improved their electronic warfare capabilities to the point where they can either “land” Shahideen or cause them to “get lost” or deviate from their course and fly into Russian or Belarusian airspace. This further strains the joint Russian-Belarusian air defense system.
The independent Belarusian monitoring group Gayun reported that in late November, 38 Russian drones entered Belarusian airspace. Belarus raised planes in response, which shows that Lukashenka was not prepared to receive Putin’s “lost” drones. It also means that Russia did not expect such consequences of the Ukrainian electronic warfare and did not inform Belarus in advance.
However, the Ukrainian military lacks other long-range weapons. Such as precision long-range missiles and aircraft. This is forcing them to retreat slowly.
Now our EU leaders are discussing and consulting with each other on what to do. Oh, I forgot. EU and U.S. politicians have also been systematically expressing concern and condemning Putin’s strikes on peaceful cities, hospitals and kindergartens in Ukraine.
