UAV Tech reports Russian conscript training includes anti-drone and EW duties

Bottom line

UAV Tech reports Russian conscript training has been rebuilt for the SVO, including anti-drone and electronic warfare duties to protect rear areas.

Why it matters

Suggests Russian forces are enhancing their rear-area security against Ukrainian drones and EW threats, which could impact Ukrainian drone operations in deeper territory.

UAV Tech reported that Russian conscript training has been restructured for the Special Military Operation (SVO), with conscripts now trained in anti-drone and electronic warfare duties to protect rear areas, although they are barred from frontline combat. This shift indicates a broader integration of EW and counter-drone capabilities into Russian military training.
