Countering enemy air attacks with electronic warfare is standard practice. And in Ukraine now many civilian enterprises are involved in the production of such equipment. Press Secretary of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat stated this on the air of a national telethon.
Today, active work is underway in this direction. And this is something that local communities can purchase and attract resources. You can’t buy weapons – small arms, guns, and air defense, but electronic warfare systems, including civilian manufacturers, if they are working, they need to be checked – this helps save lives,” he noted.
According to Ignat, electronic warfare can influence enemy drones. Such a system can divert the missile away from the object and it will not reach the specified target.
The Air Force speaker noted that now the heads of certain companies are already thinking about how to protect their facilities from Russian air attacks. He emphasized that “this is the future” and added that “there is no need to waste expensive missiles if you can stop the enemy in this way.”
Let us remind you that on the night and morning of January 13, the Russian Federation launched a massive air strike on Ukraine. A total of 40 hostile targets were recorded: guided, aerobalistic, ballistic, aircraft, cruise missiles, and attack UAVs. Air defense forces destroyed eight Russian missiles. The Air Force subsequently said that Russian missiles had “become worse” as more than 20 missiles failed to reach their targets as a result of active electronic warfare countermeasures.
