Ukraine Adviser Warns Hidden Mesh Repeaters in Kyiv Are Enabling Precision Drone Strikes

Ukrainian presidential adviser Serhii Beskrestnov, known as 'Flash,' claims that one to three concealed Russian 'MESH' repeaters are operating in Kyiv. These devices allegedly provide temporary control channels for jet-powered Geran drones, allowing them to bypass electronic jamming and strike high-value targets with precision. While Beskrestnov cites the September 4 attack on the Security Service of Ukraine headquarters as evidence, he acknowledges the hypothesis is unconfirmed. International experts warn that such mesh networks make drones significantly harder to disrupt, potentially rendering standard electronic warfare ineffective until the physical devices are located and neutralized.

UK Establishes First Active Space Effects Squadron to Counter Satellite Jamming

The UK Ministry of Defence has announced the creation of No III Space Effects Squadron, a new Royal Air Force unit dedicated to actively defending British satellites. While previous units focused on monitoring threats, this new squadron will use electronic warfare to disrupt, degrade, and deny hostile activities in space. The move responds to increasing concerns over Russian jamming of UK military satellites and follows the US confirmation of deploying weapons in orbit.

Ukraine Uses Fiber-Optic Drones for Deception and Close-Range Attacks

Ukraine is increasingly using jam-resistant fiber-optic drones for deception, ambushes, and close-range reconnaissance of Russian bunkers, enabling operators to study entrances and expose fortifications with high-quality video, while dealing with fragile cables and EW limitations and sometimes employing signal repeaters to keep connections online.

Ukraine’s MANPADS Edge: Short on Targeting Tech and Batteries, Not Just Missiles

Ukraine’s MANPADS Edge: Short on Targeting Tech and Batteries, Not Just Missiles

Ukraine’s front-line units rely on MANPADS to counter drones and low-altitude strikes, but soldiers say the biggest gaps are not missiles but targeting and power gear—drone detectors, electronic-warfare equipment, and portable batteries (like EcoFlows). Decentralized procurement and bottlenecks—often filled by crowdfunding—make these electronics and power supplies hard to obtain, complicating even effective use of MANPADS alongside Western deliveries.

Polish Camp Trains Ukrainians in Tactics, Not Drone Piloting

A Norway-led multinational training program at Camp Jomsborg in Poland focuses on battlefield tactics, drone integration, and electronic warfare for Ukrainian troops, while explicitly not teaching drone piloting since Ukraine already provides that education; Ukrainian instructors co-lead the curriculum with Western partners to tailor training to Ukrainian needs and reflect real-world combat conditions.

At Ukraine’s front edge, drone-dominated lines turn 300 meters into a week-long wait

At Ukraine’s front edge, drone-dominated lines turn 300 meters into a week-long wait

Ukrainian soldiers at the zero line—the frontline’s closest zone to Russian forces—say moving even a few hundred meters requires precise weather, coordinated electronic-warfare support, and radio-frequency cover. Drones' surveillance, fog, rain, and wind can create only narrow windows to advance, leading to days or a full week of waiting before a 300-meter move can be attempted.

Ukraine neutralizes 696 Russian drones in 19 days via electronic warfare

Ukraine neutralizes 696 Russian drones in 19 days via electronic warfare

Ukrainian electronic warfare operators from the 413th Raid Regiment say they suppressed 696 Russian UAVs in 19 days, including 646 FPV drones and 50 Molniya drones. Molniya drones, upgraded for cheap reconnaissance with low radar visibility, are harder to intercept and reflect a shift in Russia’s drone strategy. Kyiv says ongoing EW improvements are essential to curb Russia’s UAV use, with Ukraine leveraging drone-based intelligence to guide artillery and gain battlefield advantages.

Partisan claim: EW towers burned in Bryansk to aid Ukrainian drone strikes on Kyiv

Partisan claim: EW towers burned in Bryansk to aid Ukrainian drone strikes on Kyiv

Ukrainian partisan group ATESH says it burned Russian electronic warfare towers in Bryansk Oblast to blunt air defenses and create a corridor for Ukrainian drones; Bryansk is the launch area for missiles hitting Kyiv, with Iskander-M/S-400 strikes reported in recent weeks. Kyiv officials warn flight times from Bryansk are around two minutes and that shortages of Patriot missiles hinder interceptions, while ATESH’s claims have not been independently verified.

Russia deploys Starlink jammers to blunt drones targeting Crimea supply routes

Russia is rolling out Volna Kupol Garant electronic warfare jammers to disrupt Starlink links used by Ukrainian drones guiding strikes on Crimea logistics, potentially blunting Kyiv’s medium-range operations; Ukraine says about 10 jammers exist, some have been destroyed, with each unit costing around $1.5 million, and the overall effect will depend on how quickly Russia spreads them and how fast Ukraine counters.

NATO shoots down drone intruding Latvian airspace, stoking spillover fears

NATO jets, including French aircraft, destroyed a foreign drone that entered Latvian airspace as a result of Russian electronic warfare, near Berzgale in Latvia. No injuries or damage were reported. The incident highlights growing concerns about Russia’s war spilling over into NATO neighbors and follows a pattern of regional drone incursions and heightened security measures under the Baltic Air Policing mission.

Drone incident near Constanta shows spillover of Ukraine war into NATO territory

A Ukrainian naval drone lost control due to electronic warfare jamming and drifted into Romania’s Constanta port on the Black Sea, where it self-detonated around 10:30 a.m. local time. Romanian authorities evacuated the area; no casualties were reported. The drone was not Romanian and authorities are investigating how it reached the port amid ongoing tensions from the Russia-Ukraine war, highlighting the wider security spillover to neighboring NATO allies.
