Russian electronic warfare (EW) systems reportedly jammed and neutralized a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle over the Bryansk region. The report came from Regional Governor Alexander Bogomaz via his Telegram channel. The governor described the incident as an attack attempt by Ukrainian terrorists using a drone. The aircraft-type drone was suppressed with electronic warfare equipment operated by the Russian Ministry of Defense. No casualties or property damage were reported, and operations and emergency services teams arrived at the scene to assess the situation and secure the area.
Earlier, a similar aircraft-type UAV was intercepted and shot down over Bryansk on December 30, marking the sixth drone launched from Ukraine during the night. In a separate incident on December 28, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at Bryansk region for the second time in one day. The governor noted that there were no fatalities, but one house sustained partial damage during the attack. The report also mentions the development of a new drone suppression system recently created in Russia, which is designed to counter aerial threats using electronic warfare capabilities.
Officials emphasize the importance of rapid response by emergency services and the continued vigilance of regional authorities in monitoring and countering drone incursions. The incidents underscore ongoing tensions in the border area and the role of EW technologies in air defense strategies.
