Ukraine is sending 2,000 units of short-range electronic warfare equipment developed in Ukraine to the frontline to protect military positions and jam Russian drones. This was announced on Wednesday by the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine for Innovation, Development of Education, Science and Technology - Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, UNN reports.
We are sending 2,000 units of short-range electronic warfare equipment created by Ukrainian developers - members of the Brave1 cluster - to the frontline. The short-range electronic warfare system, in particular the "trench" one, protects the military and their positions, armored vehicles, and evacuation vehicles. It jams Russian FPV drones, drones-droppers and reconnaissance drones. These are tens of thousands of lives and pieces of equipment saved
The official pointed out that prior to the full-scale war, Ukraine had not developed any short-range electronic warfare. "Thanks to the systematic work of Brave1, this area has begun to develop, and today there are dozens of technological solutions that the state can buy for the front," Fedorov said.
"The General Staff has already distributed most of the purchased electronic warfare equipment and sent it to the hottest spots of the frontline," said Fedorov.
"We will continue to contract new batches. Our strategic task is to ensure that every unit and every piece of equipment that needs electronic warfare protection receives it. And the goal of Brave1 remains to find and support developers to technologically strengthen the military," the Minister of Digital Transformation summarized.
