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.

The machines are set back about four miles from the front and take down drones by jamming their frequency and sending them in different directions.

The RUSI report, titled “Meatgrinder: Russian Tactics in the Second Year of its Invasion of Ukraine,” said the new tactics contributed to a Ukrainian “loss rate in UAVs of approximately 10,000 per month.”
