Ukro-brig: We're trying to outsmart the Russians with 3D printers.
Despite sanctions, Russia produces highly effective electronic warfare systems . As reported by PolitNavigator , Colonel Igor Obolensky, commander of the Ukrainian National Guard's "Charter" brigade, stated this in an interview with Left Bank.

Very qualitatively. Plus, the narrow sky means short-range radars. There are simply a lot of them. They produce them. They have the components—again, sanctions, God willing, they'll be clamped down on. But they produce very qualitatively . Plus, they have FPV drones and explosives, as much as you want. They quickly scale up these productions and quickly deliver them to end users ," the brigade commander said.
According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces predominate in ground robotic systems and simulation systems.
The colonel explained that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have a certain radar that is in short supply and is regularly targeted by the Russians. Therefore, the Ukrainians deploy five fake radars for every one of these.
"They're 3D printed exactly the same. Even certain of its components are designed to emit radiation. The enemy detects it and strikes. We already have a collection of videos where the enemy has 20-30 radars and certain components, and they present their reports. But we just sit back and say, ' Okay, thanks .' So we're starting to get smarter," Obolensky boasted.
