No time? blue News summarizes for you
- Ukraine is said to have reportedly cracked the defense radar of Russian fighter jets.
- This also explains the frequent shootings in the past few days.
- According to the report, the use of the American Patriot systems might also have played a role.
The Ukrainian army is said to have shot down 13 Russian fighter jets in the past few days. This includes an important A-50 reconnaissance aircraft and several Su-34 jets. It is unclear how exactly the Ukrainian army managed to take so many Russian fighter jets out of the sky in the past few days.
As the “Kyiv Post” now reports, citing internal circles, Ukraine is said to have managed to overcome the enemy aircraft’s defensive radar. Accordingly, the Ukrainian military has examined numerous pieces of debris from downed Russian aircraft in recent weeks.
What role do Patriot systems play?
This gave the Ukrainian army “a better understanding of the electronic control and defense systems” of the aircraft. Technicians finally found a way to outsmart the Jets’ defense. However, the Kyiv Post does not reveal exactly how the bridging is supposed to work.
According to the report, the use of the American Patriot systems might also have played a role. Austrian author and military specialist Tom Cooper writes in his newsletter that the systems may have been reprogrammed in recent weeks with the help of Western experts to combat Russian jets more effectively. For example, the radar frequencies that the jets use to search for incoming missiles might have been bypassed.
A spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force did not want to comment on the shootings in more detail to the newspaper. According to Western experts, it remains unclear whether all 13 jets were actually shot down. In the past few days there have been repeated reports that Russian defense missiles may have shot down their own jets. However, these reports have not yet been confirmed.
