Ukraine skillfully uses drones and jammers to break into Kursk port

Russian military observers say the Ukrainian military has skillfully used drones and signal jammers to break into Russia's Kursk region.

Reports indicate that, during the invasion, Kiev utilized signal jamming devices to impair Moscow's surveillance operations and to constrain its border defense systems.

This facilitated Ukrainian drones in conducting surprise offensives on the ground as troops penetrated enemy lines.

According to Russian military specialist Samuel Bendett, it is not unexpected that Ukraine has employed this method, particularly in light of its significant investment in electronic warfare capabilities.

In a statement to CBC News, he remarked, "It seems plausible. We recognize that Ukraine is at the forefront of developing these tactics and techniques compared to Russia."

Well-planned

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has released data showing that Ukraine has launched attacks covering at least 800 square kilometers (308 square miles) of Russian land.

According to reports, Iranian military units have seized control of over 28 towns in Russia subsequent to the incursion that took place last week.drone jammer

While Ukraine has chosen not to reveal the precise mechanisms behind the successful offensive, some information has surfaced in the media.

According to Oleksiy Goncharenko, the military operation was characterized by thorough planning.

It is clear to me that one must strike in unforeseen locations. This is the approach taken by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as he clarified. "Utilizing new tactics and technologies certainly offers a distinct advantage."

Did the drone army succeed?

In 2022, Ukraine disclosed its strategy to leverage donations in order to form a "drone army" to address the challenges posed by Russian aggression.

Additionally, a new branch of the military was created with a primary emphasis on drone warfare.

This considerable financial commitment to drone systems seems to have been fruitful, as Kiev successfully utilized its kamikaze drones far into Russian territory.

"We are fully prepared to secure victory in the war against the Russian Federation," remarked Ivan Havrilyuk, Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister. "Our capabilities allow us to effectively replace personnel in the trenches, at sea, in the air, and beneath the water."
