Ukraine uses electronic warfare to protect Kyiv against Russian drone attacks. The Starshield system is used to coordinate robotic defenses against incoming threats.
An increased number of attacks, constantly changing tactics in how the attacks are carried out and a lack of advanced anti-aircraft robots, require adaptation.
Ukraine has built an electronic dome over Kyiv to protect individual targets. Hundreds of antennas and jammers try to disrupt communication between the Russian operator and the drone, making it more difficult to control remotely.
But the dome doesn't protect everyone - and now there are new reports of problems with the American satellite communications system Starshield, which Ukraine's robotic defense uses to catch up with drones and robots before they reach their targets.
The Civil Defense Authority and RISE carried out practical tests for drone protection at an airport on Thursday and Friday. Around 90 people from municipalities, regions, authorities and business, including Teracom, participated. The tests aim to learn from Ukraine's experience of using drones against military and civilian targets.

The ten countries in the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), including Sweden, have signed the 'Northern navies initiative' in Oslo. The agreement aims to increase cooperation around drones and warships to meet a changed threat picture in northern Europe.
The Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) conducts tests with autonomous underwater vehicles, so-called gliders, at Gotland. The purpose is to investigate whether the technology can be used for reconnaissance and monitoring in the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea.

Sweden's defense spending of 3.5 percent of GDP is not enough to meet NATO's increased capability goals. According to the chairman of the defense committee, Jörgen Berglund, the needs are higher and more expensive than expected, which creates new financial challenges for the government.

Sweden takes over an important NATO mission in Polish Rzeszów with the Patriot air defense system. The mission aims to protect the central logistics hub for support to Ukraine.
Russian military bloggers question official data on the war in Ukraine. According to ISW, Russia lost more ground than it gained in October, and Ukraine says Russian losses were at a record high. The Kremlin and Putin present a different picture, which ISW calls hallucinations.
