A new electronic warfare (EW) system is set to help the Ukrainian military counter the rising threats of Russian drones, enhancing troop safety in a volatile battlefield.

Patelnya emits 50 watts of electromagnetic signals across multiple frequency bands, creating a 360-degree shield against enemy drones.
