  • Ukraine said it struck a powerful  Russian electronic warfare system this week.
  • Footage appears to show it had destroyed a Borisoglebsk-2 EW jamming station.
  • EW has become increasingly important in the current conflict.

Ukraine's special operations forces (SSO) said on Wednesday that it had targeted a Russian Borisoglebsk-2 electronic warfare (EW) system.

A video shared on the special forces' Telegram channel appears to show a drone striking the system, which Russian news agency Tass described in 2017 as the "technical backbone" of Russia's EW technology.
