Ukraine uses drones and jamming against Russian missiles.

EU Observer

Ukraine is changing how it fights against Russian missiles. They are attacking factories and using jamming systems. A new military unit is also being formed to attack Russia.

Ukraine can't reliably shoot down Russian Iskander missiles with Patriot systems. Instead, they are focusing on damaging Russian production facilities. They are also using electronic jamming to interfere with the missiles' guidance. President Zelenskyy created a new unit to conduct attacks deep inside Russia. This unit uses drones and artillery to fight. Ukrainian forces are also attacking Russian tankers in the Black Sea.
