Ukraine’s war leadership sets new electronic warfare tasks as Russia’s jet-powered drones slip past nearly half of its air defenses

Ukraine is rushing to improve jamming after air defenses downed only 55% of 2,730 jet-powered drones in late September, Zelenskyy said.

  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff to address electronic warfare capabilities, new sanctions packages, and long-range drone supplies for protecting Ukrainian infrastructure against Russian attacks.
  • Russia continues modifying its jet-powered Shaheds to bypass Ukrainian defenses, forcing a constant race to improve jamming; from September 1 to 26, air defenses downed only 55 percent of 2,730 new jet-powered drones.
  • Presidential adviser Serhii 'Flash' Beskrestnov warned that Russian MESH radio repeaters installed in Kyiv provide online control for Shahed drones. He stressed, "As long as online control of drones exists, not only the bridges but the air defense assets will be under threat."
  • Defense Intelligence reported Russia's reliance on Chinese turbojets costing about $35,000 to $40,000 for Geran-4 and Geran-5 drones, prompting new sanctions proposals to the National Security and Defense Council.
  • The Staff established tasks to scale up effective electronic warfare approaches and supply long-range drones to the Armed Forces of Ukraine next year. Zelenskyy stated, "The key criterion is that we must be able to respond to Russian strikes in kind.
