Ukraine's Lima EW System Diverts Russian Missiles into Dnipro River

• •The Lima electronic warfare system successfully diverted two Russian ballistic missiles.
• •GPS spoofing and radio signal interference were key techniques used in the interception.
• •Lima can disrupt various aerial threats over a range of approximately 200 kilometers.

Ukrainian forces successfully intercepted two Russian ballistic missiles using the Lima electronic warfare system, which caused the missiles to crash into the Dnipro River instead of their intended target in Kyiv. The interception occurred earlier this year, with the missiles traveling at hypersonic speeds. The Lima system employs GPS spoofing and radio signal interference to misdirect incoming threats, effectively jamming their navigation systems. Reports indicate that Lima can disrupt various aerial threats, including drones and guided bombs, with a range of approximately 200 kilometers. The Night Watch EW unit has noted that Lima can suppress between 70% and 95% of radio-guided drones in its operational area. This incident highlights the growing significance of electronic warfare in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, as both sides adapt their technologies to counter each other.
