Since annexation Crimea in 2014, Russia was considered a leader in the field of military drones and electronic warfare (EW). However, since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the situation has changed dramatically.
This was reported by URA-Inform, citing Forbes.
Over the past thirty months, Russia has lost its dominance in these areas, and Ukraine has come to the forefront, now occupying a leading position in the development of drones and electronic warfare technologies.
During this time, Ukraine's defense industry has made significant strides, developing increasingly sophisticated systems. As a result, Ukraine has become a world leader in these areas today.
The successes of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield, particularly in the Kursk region, demonstrate its technical superiority. According to the publication, the Ukrainian Armed Forces successfully use electronic warfare systems to suppress Russian drones, after which they launch swarms of their own drones to identify and destroy enemy positions. This algorithm of actions is repeated systematically, allowing Ukrainian forces to achieve sustainable results. Russian troops have not yet found an effective response to this tactic.
It is worth mentioning that the Russian Federation is putting pressure on Pokrovsk, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not panicking: Sazonov told what the defenders are waiting for .
