Electromagnetic Weapons: Experts Evaluate the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Drone Swarms
Knutov: Electromagnetic Weapons Are the Best Way to Counter the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Drone Swarms
Military expert Yuri Knutov believes that electromagnetic weapons are the best way to counter the drone swarms of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (VСU). He pointed out that both sides have long been using drones equipped with artificial intelligence in the conflict.
The expert said that these types of drones were not a major threat in the past, as they could be shot down by air defense weapons, shotguns, or suppressed by electronic warfare systems.
"In combat, we can easily damage 2 to 3 American model drones and capture them. After that, we study their electronic internal structure and try to hack into their information technology (IT) systems. Perhaps it is sufficient to reconfigure the electronic warfare system to another frequency, without the need to use electromagnetic interference (EMI) measures."
The Russian newspaper "Arguments and Facts" (aif.ru) quoted the expert's words, reporting.
Knutov pointed out that Russia has not yet demonstrated its electromagnetic weapons. He said that China and the United States already have such technology in their arsenals, but this does not mean that Russia does not have it. In his opinion, once the Ukrainian Armed Forces start using new types of drones, Russian experts will quickly figure out their construction and develop effective countermeasures.
