Ukraine increases the effectiveness of radio-electronic warfare, successfully resisting Russian strikes. This was reported by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Analysts noted that during the night strike on January 13, the Ukrainian military used "active countermeasures using radio-electronic warfare" to disable more than 20 missiles. This success could define a new level of Ukrainian capabilities in the field of radio-electronic warfare, previously associated mainly with blocking Russian drones, not missile systems.
ISW emphasized that this event is part of Russia's long-term strike campaign against Ukraine, which also includes Ukraine's adaptation to new Russian strike systems. This dynamic reflects the broader tactical and technological race between offensive and defensive forces, and between long-range aviation and air defense.
Yuriy Ignat, a spokesman for the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, indicated that the Russian strike on January 13 was similar to previous attacks, which indicates the ability of Ukrainian forces to recognize and adapt to repeated Russian strikes.
According to the results of the attack by the Russian Federation on the night of January 13, various missile systems were used, and a total of 40 air attack devices were recorded, against which more than 20 were successfully engaged thanks to the active action of electronic warfare devices.
