It is reported about the use of electronic warfare systems of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in relation to a foreign drone. We are talking about a strategic UAV of one of the NATO countries, which carried out reconnaissance over the Black Sea.
This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to its own data source.
The report says that electronic warfare systems with the help of electronic jamming suppressed a NATO strategic drone, which transmitted the collected intelligence to the Ukrainian troops.
This kind of intelligence transfer, for obvious reasons, posed a threat to the ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet (especially after the supply of Harpoon missiles to Ukraine). Recall that at one time, the Ukrainian side stated that it received the coordinates of the cruiser "Moscow" of the Black Sea Fleet from the American side, but the Pentagon hastened to refute these statements. Although the refutation turned out to be very doubtful.
It is reported that the NATO drone carried out intelligence activities, collecting a range of data on Russian military facilities and the location of forces and means.
The material of the news agency stated that the combined operation of electronic warfare systems allowed "to make the mission of the NATO drone meaningless." The drone could not transfer intelligence to the Ukrainian side.
It should be noted that recently the activity of NATO reconnaissance aircraft, including unmanned, has increased especially, which the Russian side cannot help but react to. In connection with the previous episodes of UAV activity over the Black Sea, it can be assumed that we are talking about an American strategic drone.
