Details: It should be emphasised that the majority of the systems have already been delivered to the country’s defence forces.

Several thousand EW systems totalling more than UAH 1 billion (about US$24.1 million) were procured between September and October. These are mostly portable, short-range systems. They can be outfitted with automobiles and equipment to defend workers from enemy FPV drones, or placed in positions to detect and inhibit drone control channels.

According to the article, they also purchased several tactical electronic warfare systems.

"Most of the purchased electronic warfare equipment was produced in Ukraine, which contributes to the development of national production and strengthens the military-technical independence of Ukraine in the long term," commented Dmytro Klimenkov, Ukraine’s Deputy Defence Minister.

Contracts for the acquisition of EW systems abroad are signed directly with foreign producers, resulting in cost savings and fewer intermediaries.
