encoded: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A Ukrainian officer listens to russian chatter in a shelter near Bakhmut, Donetsk region, Ukraine. SEREBRYANSKY FOREST, Ukraine (AP) — As the radio crackles with enemy communications that are hard to decipher, one Russian command rings out clear: “Brew five Chinese tea bags on 38 orange.” A Ukrainian soldier known on the battlefield as Mikhass, who has spent months listening to and analyzing such chatter, is able to quickly decode the gibberish. It means: Prepare five Beijing-made artillery shells and fire them on a specific Ukrainian position in the Serebryansky Forest, which forms the front line in the country’s restive northeast. Hiding in the basement of an abandoned home 12 kilometers (7 miles) away, Mikhass immediately warns the commander of a unit embedded in that part of the forest, giving him crucial minutes to get his men into trenches, saving their lives. On the defensive and critically short of ammunition and soldiers after two years of war, Ukrainian forces are increasingly resorting to an age-old tactic — intelligence gleaned from radio intercepts — in a desperate effort to preserve their most vital resources. The painstaking work is part of a larger effort to beef up and refine electronic warfare capabilities so that soldiers can be warned earlier of impending attacks, while having the battlefield intelligence needed to make their own strikes more deadly. To prevent enemy drone attacks, signal-jamming is also on the rise. After months of near stalemate along the 1,000 kilometer (621 mile) front line, Ukraine expects fierce attacks in the year ahead from a Russian enemy determined to wear down its defenses to forge a breakthrough. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said there will be no peace until Russia achieves its goals, which include recapturing the entire Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, which it illegally annexed in 2022. The commander elevated last week to lead Ukraine’s army, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, has highlighted the …

encoded: Western media are increasingly paying attention to the important role played by electronic means in the war in Ukraine. For example, The New York Times recently published an article titled “The Invisible War in Ukraine Being Fought Over Radio Waves”. The journalists note that electronic warfare is quietly changing the course of the conflict and forcing engineers to constantly adapt. Particular attention is paid to the use of radio signals to interfere with enemy communications and counteract the use of guided weapons. The article mentions in particular that INFOZAKHYST is working on a project to create a means to detect and identify enemy air defense radar systems. In this context, Yaroslav Kalinin noted that “Russian air defense radars are not as easy to replace as tanks. But if enough of them are destroyed, it could be a turning point in the war.” The full text of the article is available here.

encoded: European Security & Defence, published an article dedicated to electronic warfare and communication systems. The authors note that EW have become critically important in the war in Ukraine, and each side is trying to adapt to the modern conditions of their use on the battlefield. They perform various tasks, including gathering information, determining the location of targets, and deceiving the enemy. Although electronic reconnaissance and electronic warfare techniques were widely used in previous wars, perhaps they have never before reached such complexity as now in Ukraine. To explore their role in this conflict, representatives from ESD met with Yaroslav Kalinin, the CEO of the company “Infozahyst”, to discuss the impact of radio reconnaissance and communications on the current state of the war, as well as russia’s actions in this direction. Silent Struggle: Accounts from the Frontlines of Ukraine’s Electronic War Mark Cazalet Electronic Warfare (EW) in Ukraine has been a critical enabler for both sides of the war in Ukraine, with each scrambling to adapt to modern battlefield possibilities within the electromagnetic spectrum. This domain has been used for a variety of purposes, including gathering information, target locating/positioning, disruption, deception, and even downing UAVs. While EW has been a common sight on many battlefields of the 20th and 21st centuries, it has perhaps never been as sophisticated, or as target-rich a domain as it is today in Ukraine. To explore its role in this war, during the Association of Old Crows (AOC) Europe Event from 15-17 May 2023, ESD sat down with Iaroslav Kalinin, CEO of Ukrainian EW specialist firm ‘Infozahyst’ to discuss the role of EW and communications in shaping the conflict so far, including Russia’s performance in this sphere. Kalinin explained that Infozahyst was founded back in 2002, and the company’s name approximately translates to ‘Information defence’. Initially the company operated on providing information …

encoded: By Abdujalil Abdurasulov BBC News, Kyiv Ukraine’s electronic warfare units are fighting invisible battles against the Russians In the early days of the invasion of Ukraine, experts were surprised at how poorly the Russian army’s electronic warfare units performed. But nearly 18 months later they are causing significant problems for Ukraine’s counteroffensive. “Use single rounds,” whispers a Ukrainian soldier hiding behind a wall near the eastern front line. “This way we will be able to last till the morning [if they come closer].” The soldier’s call-sign is Alain Delon, like the famous French film star of the 1970s. And like something from a spy movie, he is part of a lightly armed team of electronic intelligence officers – a high-priority target for the Russian army. Alain fears Russian troops may have spotted their antenna and started heading for their base. He decides to change position. The key in electronic warfare is being invisible to the enemy. Their job is to detect electronic signals from all kinds of Russian weapons – including drones, air defence systems, jammers, artillery, and multiple rocket launchers. They work out where the signals originate and the type of weapon, then pass on coordinates to other units that will aim to destroy the target. This is a war of technologies Col Ivan Pavlenko Ukraine electronic and cyber warfare department The information also helps commanders build up a picture of the battlefield. “This is a war of technologies,” Col Ivan Pavlenko, chief of the Ukrainian General Staff’s electronic and cyber warfare department, tells the BBC. “If I see a number of radio stations in the same place, I understand it’s a command post. If I see some radio stations begin to move forward, I understand it could be a counter-offensive or an offensive.” This is an invisible conflict carrying on in parallel with the explosions, missile strikes and trench warfare that dominate the news. Almost every modern weapon – from artillery installations to hi…

It is based on data spreaded on the AOC 2023 conference, which took place in Bonn (Germany) from May 17 – 19. The original text of the article you can find on the “Armada International” website. Speak Easy By Dr. Thomas Withington The Russian Army’s P-187 Azart series handheld tactical radio remains the most modern in the manoeuvre force’s inventory. However, it has shortcomings. One of the radio’s problems is that its signals are comparatively easy to identify. More details come to light on how the Russian Army organises its tactical communications in the Ukrainian theatre of operations. The 2023 Association of Old Crows’ Electronic Warfare Europe conference and exhibition yielded a plethora of fascinating presentations. Held in the western German city of Bonn between 15th and 17th May, it included an intriguing paper discussing Russian Army tactical communications in Ukraine. The paper was presented by Yaroslav Kalinin, chief executive officer of Infozahyst. Russian tactical communications has been a subject that has interested Armada since Moscow’s second invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. We examined Russian military communications in two recent articles, one this January, the other in April 2022. Publications by the Royal United Services Institute thinktank in London have also shed light on this subject. Nonetheless, information on Russian military communications continues to flow out of the Ukrainian theatre of operations, all of which is valuable to North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and allied nations. Should the unthinkable happen, and NATO be forced to fight Russian land forces, knowing how the latter’s communications work will be useful. That way, Russia’s military radio networks can be jammed, exploited for intelligence, flooded with erroneous information and used to determine the location of Russian units…
