Russian jamming technology is not consistently deployed on the front line, as reported by The New York Times. Some Russian armored vehicles lack jamming systems, leaving them vulnerable to Ukrainian drones. While Russia’s electronic warfare systems can disrupt Ukrainian drone navigation, the uneven distribution of jamming tech poses a weakness. This information corresponds with claims from the US Institute for the Study of War and reports that Russia lacks an effective jamming system for tanks. Drones have been crucial in Ukraine’s efforts against the Russian invasion, aiding in various tasks. The ongoing technological competition between Ukraine and Russia involves both sides trying to counter advancements made by each other in drone warfare tactics.
