Electronic warfare is actively used against enemy drones. In particular, a method of changing GPS coordinates, known as spoofing, is used.
The Ukrainian military has learned to change the coordinates of Russian kamikaze drones and redirect them. Le Monde reported it.
This explains the frequent cases when drones end up in Belarus.
In particular, on November 26, Russia carried out one of its largest attacks on Ukraine, using 188 Shahed drones – a record number at that time. According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ukrainian forces destroyed 76 drones using fighter jets, helicopters and anti-aircraft missile systems, and another 95 drones were diverted from their targets by falsifying satellite coordinates.
The monitoring group “Belarusski Gayun” reported that on the night of November 26, 17 drones flew over Belarus, of which five were missing, and two were probably shot down by the Belarusian air defense near Mozyr.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces previously noted that electronic warfare methods are actively used against drones. In particular, a method of changing GPS coordinates, known as spoofing, is used.
Let’s remember that on the night of November 28, Russian troops carried out a massive combined missile and drone attack on the Ukrainian energy sector. 76 cruise missiles, three guided aircraft missiles and 35 UAVs were destroyed among 188 enemy targets.
Let’s recall that the formal leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, admitted that Russian drones were flying over the territory of the Republic of Belarus. According to him, “inexperienced hands” and the operation of electronic warfare equipment are to blame.
