Ukraine’s Unmanned Forces destroy Russian experimental KOP-2 electronic warfare system
Operators from Ukraine’s 424th SEPARATE UNMANNED SYSTEMS FORCES BATTALION have located and destroyed a Russian experimental KOP-2 electronic warfare system, according to the SBS Telegram channel on July 20.
The report states that this device is the latest attempt by Russian forces to find an effective way to counter Ukrainian drones.
The KOP-2 scans radio frequencies across a wide range, identifies the frequency on which a drone operates, and attempts to jam it with a powerful signal. The occupiers use this technology to protect strategically important sites, including air defense systems.
However, in real combat conditions, the KOP-2 proved powerless against the precision of Ukrainian operators.
The first strike disabled the system, and a subsequent strike completely destroyed it.
In June, the Drone Forces guided an AASM Hammer precision airstrike on a Russian ammunition depot in the southern direction.
The strike was carried out during unloading. After coordinates were relayed, the Ukrainian Air Force conducted a targeted airstrike.
On June 3, the Drone Forces appointed a new commander, Major Robert Madyar Brovdi.
Previously, Vadym Sukharevskyi had led the Drone Forces since their creation in 2024.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
