The new Ukrainian system represents a real technological breakthrough, surpassing both russian and Western analogues.
Ukraine has created a powerful electronic system called Lima that disrupts the satellite navigation of russian UMPK-equipped bombs, turning the once-formidable weapon into an inaccurate and often useless munition.
It’s a breakthrough that has effectively eliminated one of russia’s key tactical advantages on the front lines. It was thanks to the huge number of KABs that the russians actively advanced at the front.
Precision threat neutralized According to The Economist , the Ukrainian Lima electronic warfare system successfully jams navigation signals used in russian guided bombs with so-called KABs, universal planning and correction modules (UMPK).
This was reported by former German Defense Ministry official Niko Lange, noting that Lima represents a real technological breakthrough, surpassing both russian and Western analogues.
Lima is not just a jammer Unlike traditional electronic warfare systems, Lima uses digital suppression: it combines jamming, spoofing (introducing false coordinates) and elements of a cyber attack on navigation receivers. As a result, russian air bombs lose the ability to accurately correct their trajectory and go off course.
russia loses key tactical advantage Even Russian military bloggers and propagandists have begun to acknowledge the effectiveness of Ukrainian electronic warfare. According to them, Ukrainian electronic warfare systems are deployed along bomb flight paths, causing navigation failures and a sharp drop in strike accuracy.
This calls into question the effectiveness of the entire russian doctrine of using guided aerial bombs.
Conclusion: Lima is a game changer The Lima system has become a serious problem for the russian Aerospace Forces, effectively leveling their advantage in guided aerial bombs.
Ukraine has proven that it is capable of not only defending itself, but also destroying the enemy’s established tactical schemes with the help of its own technological developments.

Collaboration between European weapons manufacturers and Ukraine would be enormously beneficial for both sides. Ukraine is far more innovative than US manufacturers and their products are constantly tested and improved in real time and under real circumstances.

“The russians” love and know how to do shit, and in this art they have no equal. They work on all fronts. They do shit in the Ukrainian trenches and in the European expanses. They do shit and kill innocent people wherever they can.
A gang of orcs has been exposed in Warsaw, who, on orders from the Kremlin, were blowing up warehouses in the EU and UK using counterfeit goods – sex toys, massage pillows and cosmetics. The parcels were filled with homemade explosives.
Three such parcels exploded in sorting warehouses in the UK, Germany and Poland last summer.
But there were also DHL warehouses and a huge plane that exploded for the same reason.
“Pillows packed in parcels containing cosmetics and sex toys contained hidden homemade incendiary devices made from a cocktail of chemicals including highly reactive magnesium, according to a person familiar with the case who has provided the most detailed account yet of the alleged plot,” – Reuters

GUR Reveals Names of 11 Captains and Data on Ships of russia’s Shadow Fleet.
Ukrainian intelligence has learned the names of 11 more captains of russia’s so-called shadow fleet. New information about russian ships has also been made public.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
The GUR has revealed the names of another 11 russian captains and 31 sea vessels involved in schemes to circumvent sanctions restrictions on trade in russian oil. The list includes:
Ivan Nikiforov (captain of the vessel KOTLAS);
Dmitry Khallev (vessel ONEIROI);
Alexander Peregudov (vessel CARUZO);
Ivan Shashin (vessel CARUZO);
Alexander Grigoriev (ship CARUZO);
Andrey Lemeshko (vessel BERRA);
Mikhail Strizhak (vessel BERRA);
Konstantin Kovalenko (vessel CORUS);
Vladislav Pavitsky (vessel BERRA);
Sergey Ivanov (vessel EVENTIN);
Mikhail Ivanov (vessel CHEN LU).
Among the individuals named are captains of tankers affiliated with the sanctioned russian company Sovcomflot, who violate the policy of limiting the maximum price of russian oil. They are Ivan Nikiforov, captain of the tanker KOTLAS, and Konstantin Kovalenko, captain of the tanker CORUS.
The captains have real information about the owners of shadow tankers, the technical condition of the vessels, the cargo and its value, as well as the vessel’s route.
“They are the ones who make decisions about disabling or manipulating ships’ navigation systems, falsifying data on the location of ships, entering false data into route logs, dangerously transferring oil between ships at sea, and using other schemes to circumvent sanctions,” the GUR notes.
As intelligence indicates, such actions not only contribute to the financing of the war against Ukraine, but also create the threat of a global environmental catastrophe.
The War&Sanctions portal already has data on 782 ships and 100 captains.
Let us recall that since the beginning of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Western countries have imposed sanctions on Moscow, which has significantly complicated trade in petroleum products. This is one of the Kremlin’s main sources of income, from which, in particular, the war against Ukraine is financed.
To circumvent sanctions, russia has created a so-called shadow fleet, with the help of which it continues to trade oil despite economic restrictions.
