Deadly secret: Electronic warfare shapes the Russian-Ukrainian war
On Ukraine's battlefields, just turning on a cell phone can trigger deadly rain. Artillery radar and remote controls for unmanned aircraft can also lead to fiery rains of shrapnel.
This is electronic warfare, a crucial but largely invisible aspect of Russia's war on Ukraine. Military commanders are largely reluctant to talk about it for fear of jeopardizing operations by revealing secrets.
Electronic warfare targets communications, navigation, and guidance systems to locate, blind, and deceive the enemy and deliver lethal strikes. It is used against artillery, fighter jets, cruise missiles, drones, and more. Militaries also use it to protect their forces.
It's an area where Russia seemed to have a clear advantage at the start of the war. But for reasons that are not entirely clear, Russia's much-vaunted electronic warfare capabilities were barely on display in the early stages of the war, when the capture of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, failed chaotically. -- AP
