Today, during the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, the establishment of a new Electronic Warfare (EW) Coalition was officially announced.
This was reported by Ukraine’s Minister of Defense, Rustem Umerov, on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.
“Today, during the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, together with my colleague, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, we officially announced the launch of the new Electromagnetic Warfare Coalition. This marks the ninth coalition formed within the UDCG. Eleven countries, including Ukraine, have joined the initiative and signed a joint Letter of Intent, ” Umerov stated.
According to him, the EW Coalition will focus on:
- Procuring equipment
- Training and preparing specialists
- Developing policies and doctrines in the field of electronic warfare
“Electronic warfare is a critically important component of modern warfare. Without effective EW capabilities, no unit can be fully combat-ready. The launch of this coalition will enable us to coordinate efforts and comprehensively respond to the needs of our Defense Forces,” the minister emphasized.
He added that the coalition is designed not only to meet the current needs of the Ukrainian army in EW capabilities but also to lay the foundation for their long-term development.
