As a countermeasure, Ukraine has taken several steps to develop new warfare tech. In electronic warfare, jamming technology can be used to disable drones, suppress radar signals, and render GPS-guided missiles useless. AdvertisementBoth countries are engaged in electronic warfare, but Ukraine's capabilities are harder to assess, The Associated Press reported last year. The US has previously expressed concerns that Russia has been deploying jamming technology to reduce the accuracy of American-made smart bombs. The impacts of Russia's electronic warfare have made quickly seeking and developing technological countermeasures a priority for the Ukrainian government.

A Ukrainian soldier said rifles are a thing of the past, and drones are the future of warfare. Valentyn Ilchuk told Metro that he and his three-man unit use drones to target Russian forces. "If you ask me what war will be like in five to 10 years, there will be far fewer rifles," he said. Ilchuk's unit uses self-exploding drones to target Russian positions far behind the front lines, and he told Metro newspaper that these weapons are the future of modern warfare. As a result, he has launched a fundraising drive to buy more drones, batteries, munition drop systems, reconnaissance drones, and other "much-needed" equipment.

A Ukrainian company said it made jamming-resistant drones and handed the first 15 to the military. But Russian jamming has made many inoperable and forced operators to get closer to the front lines. These latest drones are upgraded versions of the existing Punisher drone, the company said, which has been used to complete scores of successful missions against Russian forces. Yarema, a Ukrainian soldier helping with the Punisher drone effort, told The New Voice of Ukraine that "the most important thing is that the innovative system is resistant to electronic warfare." One Ukrainian drone operator told the BBC that this has meant they have to move closer to the front lines, putting lives in danger.
