| The Leer-3 EW, Jamming System That Can Interfere With Ukrainian Soldiers' Phone Signals |
International Military - News related to the war in Ukraine mostly shows the use of missiles, fighter jets, artillery, and armored vehicles. There is no media that tells of a war that is not "seen" there.
War is described as electronic warfare or better known as EW. This EW war has not caught the eye of the media to report it. In fact, this type of war is a modern battle concept. And many experts argue, the Ukraine war is a suitable domain to show electronic warfare.
The Eurasian Times even assesses that Russia is a world leader in the concept of electronic warfare. But strangely, the big country hasn't shown its EW abilities yet. "Apparently, the Russians lacked their EW systems, and confused defense experts," said Samuel Bendett, CNA.
But, what is not seen is not necessarily not there. Russia has in fact used some of its EW systems to jam Ukrainian military assets. The need for a system like this is intended to hack the opponent's weaponry.
There are several systems like this that Russia uses in Ukraine. Call it Leer-3, Borisoglebsk-2, Svet-KU, Bylina, and Tirada-2. All of these systems are designed to interfere with opposing systems, particularly those linked to satellite or radio frequencies. Like the Leer-3, which is assisted by the Orlan-10 drone, it is intended to intercept satellite navigation signals, 3G, 4G communications and text messages.

Not long ago, the Bulgarian Military showed Russia using the Leer-3. As mentioned above, the Leer-3 operates alongside the Orlan-10 drone. These two combinations are useful for interfering with GSM communications. Even Leer-3 can send SMS to cellphones in the vicinity.
