WASHINGTON: For the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine, the United States will provide jamming equipment to the Ukrainian military — a signal that electronic warfare activity could be ramping up in the eastern Donbas region of the country.
On Friday evening, the Defense Department announced an additional $150 million tranche of weapons for Ukraine, which includes “electronic jamming equipment” from existing US stocks.
A senior defense official, who spoke to journalists Monday on the condition of anonymity, said the lack of specific information regarding the EW equipment was intentional, and declined to provide additional information about what jamming equipment will be sent to Ukraine.
