What happened

Electronic-warfare equipment now forms a protective "dome" over Kyiv that disrupts radio links to remote-controlled jet-powered Shaheds, presidential adviser Serhiy "Flash" Beskrestnov said on Telegram.

Russian operators steer the drones from Russian territory through a radio modem on board, using so-called MESH radio communication, he explained.

Beskrestnov said the job had to be done in a few weeks, with hundreds of antenna and equipment sites across the city.

All the main makers of electronic-warfare systems built and installed the gear around the clock, he said.

The General Staff, the Defence Ministry, the Interior Ministry, the National Security and Defence Council, the Presidential Office and other military units also worked on it, under the president's constant control, according to Beskrestnov.

He said the operation made the enemy pause, upgrade its Shaheds and look for other solutions.

“This operation forced the enemy to pause, modernise the Shaheds and look for other solutions”
