What Was Agreed

Radionor statement
“Demand for jam-resistant links in unmanned operations is critical. With Ukrainian partners and Norwegian backing, we will scale deliveries and support.”

Why It Matters

1. Faster Turnaround: Local repairs cut equipment down-time from weeks to days, keeping drone fleets in the fight.

2. Skill Transfer: Hands-on training grows Ukraine’s own EW expertise and reduces reliance on overseas contractors.

3. Adaptive Edge: Real-time feedback from the front allows Radionor to tweak algorithms against Russia’s latest electronic counter-measures.

4. Strategic Autonomy: A domestic service center aligns with Kyiv’s policy of localizing defense supply chains.

EW Context on the Ukrainian Front

• Drone War Pivot: Former C-in-C Valerii Zaluzhnyi called electronic warfare “the key to victory” against Russia’s massed UAV assaults.

• Russian Advantage: Moscow still fields larger EW inventories, making jam-resistant comms vital for Ukrainian strike and ISR drones.

• Indigenous Innovation: Ukraine’s own Lima EW system has already outperformed some Western tech in neutralizing glide-bomb guidance.
