Ukraine’s National Guard has released footage showing the destruction of a rare Russian electronic warfare system deep behind Russian lines. The operation targeted an R-330Zh Zhytel automated jamming system, which Ukrainian forces said had been interfering with reconnaissance drones near Siverskodonetsk.

Lasar’s Group, a special-purpose National Guard unit, said its intelligence analysts worked with aerial reconnaissance crews to pinpoint the system’s exact location. The unit then planned an operation using Lasar bomber drones manufactured by its own team.

In mid-summer, we hunted down a rare beast, the R-330Zh Zhytel automated jamming system.

· Lasar’s GroupThe Ukrainian unit described how it located the Russian electronic warfare system.

The strike crews flew the drones 55 km into enemy territory before destroying the target. “In mid-summer, we hunted down a rare beast, the R-330Zh Zhytel automated jamming system,” the group said. “Now the Zhytel can't interfere with Ukrainian drones anymore.”

The group said it carried out the entire operation independently.

Now the Zhytel can't interfere with Ukrainian drones anymore.
