Russian drone crews destroy Ukrainian SIGINT antennas

Bottom line

Russian drone crews from the 5th Guards Combined Arms Army destroyed Ukrainian NSU (signals intelligence) antennas in the Zaporizhzhia direction.

Why it matters

Destruction of SIGINT assets reduces Ukrainian situational awareness and targeting capabilities, potentially blinding units to Russian movements.

Russian milbloggers report that drone crews assigned to the 5th Guards Combined Arms Army (East grouping) successfully located and destroyed Ukrainian NSU (signals intelligence) antennas in the Zaporizhzhia direction. This highlights the continued Russian focus on counter-SIGINT operations using unmanned systems to degrade Ukrainian electronic intelligence gathering capabilities.
