Ukrainian Agent’s Daring Moscow Drone-Jammer Sabotage
A sophisticated Russian anti-drone system, the Valdai, designed to protect Moscow from Ukrainian drone attacks, was reportedly destroyed by Ukrainian intelligence operatives near the city. The Ukrainians’ successful sabotage of the Valdai, a relatively new system combining multiple detection and jamming technologies, potentially weakens Russia’s air defenses. This operation, though risky, highlights the importance of neutralizing Russia’s anti-drone capabilities for Ukraine’s ongoing deep-strike campaign. The destruction of the Valdai system may facilitate future Ukrainian drone attacks against high-value Russian targets.
