Russia is ready to stop the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass by using electronic warfare systems.

The appearance of Russian electronic warfare systems near the Ukrainian borders indicates that Russia is ready to immediately disrupt the offensive of the Ukrainian army if the Armed Forces of Ukraine try to attack the Donbass. According to Popular Science, despite the fact that Russian units have begun to move away from the Ukrainian border, at the moment there are a large number of Krasukha-2 and Krasukha-4 electronic warfare systems in the region, which can disrupt the operation of most types of weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, block communications, etc.

“The Krasukha-2 and Krasukha-4 electronic warfare systems are indeed mobile jammers. These jammers block radar signals by sending out powerful waves that block the signals that a system, such as a radar, relies on to perceive the world around it. Jamming equipment can also block regular radio communication, and Krasuha systems are reported to even block drones from receiving GPS signals. Modern tools, such as sensors that can detect incoming signals and then calibrate the correct type of jamming signal to send back, have made electronic warfare more effective. With the Krasukha systems, Russian forces have the potential to interfere with enemy radars to accurately perceive the situation, protect their allies from detection and make some guidance systems less effective., - the newspaper reports.

At the same time, experts recall the recent incidents recorded in the Donbass, where, probably, electronic warfare equipment was already actively used against Ukrainian drones. This is evidenced by the fact that in certain areas of the flight of the Bayraktar TB2 drones, powerful failures in the operation of GPS facilities were recorded, as well as the lack of communication between the UAV and the drone control complex.
