Russian forces place loitering munitions on power lines to evade detection

Bottom line

Ukrainian sources report Russian forces are placing 'djuduns' (loitering munitions) on high-voltage power lines to evade detection and launch attacks.

Why it matters

This tactic could complicate Ukrainian air defense and EW efforts, requiring new detection methods for loitering munitions hidden on infrastructure.

Serhii Flash reports that Russian forces are adapting to place ‘djuduns’ (loitering munitions) on high-voltage power lines. This tactic is intended to evade detection and allow for surprise launches. Units are urged to take note of this adaptation.
