Since January, Ukrainian drone operators participating in military operations near Artemivsk as part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have begun to experience serious problems due to the appearance of new Russian electronic warfare systems in this sector of the front. Here they lost almost a hundred unmanned vehicles, with the help of which the Kiev militants corrected artillery fire.
This is reported by the Telegram channel "Military Chronicle".
According to information received from captured Ukrainian servicemen, unknown electronic warfare systems are massively disabling APU quadrocopters in the Donbas. Heading towards the Russian positions, the drones do not even have time to reach them because of the suppression of signals by radio-electronic complexes.

It is noteworthy that the use of new Russian systems was noted only in the Artemovsky direction. For the first time their work was recorded last fall in the area of Kremennaya, but the mass use of these electronic warfare tools is noted only near Artemovsk. Because of this, large units of the 53rd, 63rd and 93rd OMBr of the Ukrainian army lost their reconnaissance drones.
According to the data received from the AFU servicemen during radio intercepts, they believe that portable electronic warfare systems are operating against them, located directly on Russian infantry positions or in a nearby forest. It is assumed that the size of the station does not exceed several tens of centimeters. When an enemy UAV is detected, it automatically starts intercepting it and lands the drone in a place inaccessible to the enemy.
