Now (Russian forces) are making drones with a range of 700–1000 MHz," a source in the General Staff said."Accordingly, the means of radio-electronic warfare that we made earlier are no longer effective."Every development in the drones themselves requires a corresponding advance in the electronic warfare (EW) technology used to counter them.Russia has traditionally invested heavily in growing its EW capabilities, with development placed into overdrive as the full-scale war against Ukraine continues.As the front lines have stabilized, its military has been able to place large numbers of its EW assets where they can have the greatest effect.In his controversial opinion piece for The Economist published in November 2023, now-former Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi wrote that Russia's superiority in the number of its EW assets was one of the main threats to the war turning positional.Deadly drone arms race intensifies as Ukraine, Russia embrace the future of warAt this stage of a war that could last years more, both Ukraine and Russia are getting serious with their drone game: ramping up production while always looking to come up with new innovations.The Kyiv IndependentFrancis Farrell
