Russian MoD claims drone operators jammed Ukrainian antenna repeater network

Bottom line

Russian MoD claims drone operators of the 'Center' grouping jammed Ukrainian antenna repeater network in Dobropillya, disrupting drone control.

Why it matters

Suggests Russian forces are increasingly employing EW assets in direct support of drone operations to blind Ukrainian UAV networks, a tactic that could impact NATO-supported Ukrainian drone effectiveness.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that drone operators within the ‘Center’ grouping successfully jammed a Ukrainian antenna repeater network in the Dobropillya direction, resulting in the disruption of Ukrainian drone control. This claim highlights the integration of electronic warfare capabilities with drone operations to degrade Ukrainian command and control infrastructure.
