Ukraine Utilizes Electronic Warfare to Counter Russian Missile Strikes

In a recent DW News video, defense analyst Marina Miron discusses Ukraine’s strategies to counter Russian missile attacks, highlighting the use of electronic warfare to disrupt the targeting systems of incoming missiles. The report touches on the urgent need for Ukraine to acquire more air defense systems and the country’s efforts to develop its own electronic warfare capabilities, given the limitations on importing sensitive technology from Western allies.

• France’s new foreign minister pledges continued support for Ukraine.
• Ukraine experiences another wave of Russian missile attacks, prompting requests for more air defense systems.
• Russian strikes aim to weaken the Ukrainian military and pave the way for territorial gains.
• Ukraine manages to shoot down only a fraction of the missiles, with electronic warfare playing a role in disabling others.
• Electronic warfare involves operations in the electromagnetic spectrum to confuse missiles and jam radars and GPS signals.
• Ukraine is limited in obtaining this technology from Western allies and is working on developing its own electronic warfare systems.
• Some Russian electronic warfare systems have been captured and shared with NATO for analysis, while Ukraine attempts to reverse-engineer others.
