Jamming doesn’t stop Russia hitting bridges. A Ukrainian expert points to the Iskander’s last-second radar scan
Navigation is jammed nationwide during air-raid alerts, and an inertial system alone won’t put an Iskander within a meter of its target, the expert wrote.
Fishing for drones: a Ukrainian box that fires nets at FPVs heads for serial production
Phantom Defense says ten units are already in combat trials, and Militarnyi watched the system work at a test range.
Russia fired nearly 8,000 Molniya and Lancet drones at Ukraine’s front in a week. Nine in 10 were stopped
The peak came on 30 October, when Russia launched more than 1,600 Molniyas in a single day, Ukraine’s General Staff said.
“European countries need to learn”: Ukrainian defense-tech CEO warns Europe against costly defense mistakes
The cost of countering an air threat must match the cost of the threat.
Ukraine finds Russia’s Geran drones fitted with a compass that works through GPS jamming, but Western electronics still at their core
Ukraine is also studying a new jamming device, and the findings go into its sanctions work.
A 4-watt video link passed Ukraine’s state tests, its maker says, and could stretch STING interceptors’ radius from 20 km to 30 km
The 30 km figure is Wild Hornets’ own estimate, first given in August, and assumes good line of sight. Testers checked three drone types.
Ukraine blocks Russia from outflanking its fortress cities in Donbas, retaking 277 square kilometers and hitting 8,000 Russian troops

Russia is building satellite network that could put all of Europe in reach, defense executive warns
Oleksandr Danyliuk, head of the European defense-tech firm Destinus, called Russia’s Rassvet system an extraordinary threat, first to Ukraine and then to Europe.
Russia is building jet drones that fly 800 kilometers per hour, and Ukraine says it is already working on how to stop next generation
Russia’s jet-powered Gerans fly several times faster than the propeller Shaheds and remain the main challenge for air defense.
Russia equips Geran attack drones with image-based navigation using Google map imagery, reducing reliance on satellite navigation that Ukraine can jam, defense adviser warns
Russian drones can use stored images of terrain to navigate toward targets, making them less dependent on satellite signals that Ukrainian electronic warfare systems can disrupt.
Ukrainian producer that neutralized more than 7,000 drones over 100 square kilometers in year, plays enemy in Pentagon contest, and gets invitation to continue
Ukraine’s Phantom Defense built the counter-drone environment for the Pentagon’s Gauntlet II.
Ukraine’s war leadership sets new electronic warfare tasks as Russia’s jet-powered drones slip past nearly half of its air defenses
Zelenskyy said the main criterion is that Ukraine must be able to respond in kind to Russian strikes.
Ukraine’s bomber drones, ones that dropped ground robots in its recent Donetsk counteroffensive, are getting 2.4-kilogram jammer to shield them from FPVs
Aura-Ukraine is final-testing Aura 3K mini, a compact electronic-warfare shield.
“No alien quantum modems”: 1 to 3 concealed devices in Kyiv may be why Russian drones keep hitting so precisely, Ukraine’s top tech adviser says
MESH transmitters may give Russia a real-time channel to steer jet drones onto Kyiv's bridges.
Ukraine is downing Russia’s fastest drones—just not often enough, and scaling up comes down to money
Russia's jet drones outrun the cheap interceptors Ukraine built for slower Shaheds, pushing Kyiv to field new hardware that works in combat but can't yet be made in the numbers its skies demand.
The US has until 18 October to choose its Russia sanctions targets—if any. Kyiv’s wish list leads with the firms feeding Russia’s Starlink clone
At the top: Russian firms making parts for Moscow's Starlink rival, still untouched by US sanctions.
Russia is now wiring its attack drones into one network in flight, so a single drone can scout, strike, and relay for the rest
Chains of Russian drones keep crossing near the Belarus border, Ukraine's Air Force says.
The EU sanctioned Russia’s Starlink rival but not the company that builds it. Experts call that the gap that matters
Ukraine can jam Russian drones into drifting off course—a satellite relay overhead would let them fly straight through the jamming and strike.
A Ukrainian firm now rents out drone jammers by the day—but the deposit is the device’s full price
The daily fee comes off a deposit worth the whole device—rent long enough and the jammer becomes yours.
