Since the Russian so-called ‘special military operation’ started in Ukraine, it has been clear that many Russian weapons used in the conflict have underperformed.
This aspect has been one of the key factors which have prevented Putin’s forces from suppressing Ukrainian resistance swiftly.
But not all is ‘doom and gloom’ for Russia, a particular platform – R-330ZH Zhitel – is proving its metal in this conflict.
In a recent interview with Financial Times, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov admitted that Russian electronic warfare (EW) systems can suppress GPS-guided munitions and HIMARS MLRS. The minister explained that these shells were “very accurate,” but powerful Russian radio-electronic systems found ways to suppress them.
Reznikov told the publication, “The Russians come up with a countermeasure, we inform our partners, and they create a new countermeasure against this countermeasure.”
