Ukraine losing 10,000 drones per month to Russian electronic warfare: report
NY Post ^ | 05/22/2023 | Isabel Keane

Ukraine is suffering a tremendous loss of 10,000 drones each month, largely due to Russia’s electronic warfare — a “critical” component of Moscow’s military tactics, a recent report said.

Russia’s use of tech defense systems has contributed to the staggering loss of Ukrainian aerial drones — approximately 10,000 each month, according to the latest Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) report.

Russia deployed a high density of electronic warfare equipment in Donbas in 2022. They have since increased their supply.

Russia now has a system every six miles along the war’s 750-mile-long frontline.

“Russia prepared so well that they lost most of the terrain they captured in their initial attack and now they have Free Russian soldiers liberating territory in Belgorod Province.”

LOL!!! Good one!

I’m focused on what this means for America - whatever Russia faces/does/needs is their problem, not mine.

The Ukraine is a key support to the Deep State. The money, yes of course, but there’s more. The people at the top (I hate to call that filth ‘elites’) are panicking and one of them (or both - was it Soros and/or Rothschild) were desperate in their requests that all nations help Ukraine. Soros and/or Rothschild are not good for America.

Biden/Pelosi/Schumer et. al. all have crimes and money from the Ukraine - they are not good for America. Our Pentagon’s biowarfare labs there, the Dems election theft operations there. The Ukraine was a hub -maybe it’s simply, “What happens in the Ukraine, stays in the Ukraine (e.g., Hunter Biden’s crimes et.c). But many of the Dems at the top all had their hand in the ‘bank’ of the Ukraine and now all are panicking. This is good.

I don’t want NATO to rule the world with its ‘friends’ in the UN and the WEF. Thwarting their big master plan for world dominion is a good thing.

Someone suckered NY Post badly to get them to publish this story, 10k drones a month, over 300 a day? It’d shock me if 10k drones over the entire course of the war...

No news can be trusted out of this conflict.

It’s all a distraction.

NATO used the Ukraine to provoke Russia. They could have avoided it. Just as the US would ‘object’ to China parking military assets on our border, Russia objects to NATO’s use of the Ukraine to build assets with which to effect regime change in Russia.

NATO will continue to provoke war in their pursuit of world dominion.

The Biden family was paid off by pro-Russian oligarchs and a member of the pro-Russian government. Projecting this onto Ukraine now is a reminder that KGB propoganda causes brain damage

I don’t give a rat’s derrière who’s paying off who, I want our tax dollars to stop flowing unfettered and unaudited to Zelensky every time he demands it.

Enough.

These are the small recon drones.

Meatgrinder: Russian Tactics in the Second Year of Its Invasion of Ukraine

Jack Watling and Nick Reynolds

Special Report
19 May 2023

Excerpt at page iii

Russian electronic warfare (EW) remains potent, with an approximate distribution of at least one major system covering each 10 km of front. These systems are heavily weighted towards the defeat of UAVs and tend not to try and deconflict their effects. Ukrainian UAV losses remain at approximately 10,000 per month. Russian EW is also apparently achieving real time interception and decryption of Ukrainian Motorola 256-bit encrypted tactical communications systems, which are widely employed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Well, with this data and the Steele Report, you might have a complete English alphabet at the end of the day.

The speculation that 333+ drones are being destroyed each and every day is plainly ridiculous. Just transporting the packaging for off the shelf drones around the country would be a logistics nightmare, and 100 operators would have to be unpacking and deploying and losing each 3+ drones a day.

Either B, T & O outright lied and the author of the report has no ability to detect logistical fallacies, or more likely, they simply made up a dramatic number and attributed to the anonymously tagged entities they ‘interviewed.’
