Britain to share electronic warfare technology with Ukraine under new deal
The agreement includes sharing the intellectual property behind the Stone Cloak electronic warfare system so Ukraine can produce the technology domestically.
OilPrice reports that President Volodymyr Zelensky met British Prime Minister Andy Burnham on July 27 at Portsmouth Naval Base to begin a broader week of international talks focused on bolstering Ukraine’s defenses amid a rising civilian death toll from Russian air strikes.
Burnham pledged the United Kingdom’s unwavering support for Kyiv and the leaders discussed defense capabilities to protect lives both in the sky and at sea. The two sides also touched on joint defense production, and later scheduled meetings with Ukrainian military personnel taking part in a maritime security and counter-mine exercise in Britain over the past three weeks.
OilPrice said Burnham announced Britain would share the intellectual property behind the Stone Cloak electronic warfare system, enabling Ukraine to produce the technology itself. The report describes the system’s jammers as roughly the size of a tablet computer and notes they can be used to disrupt Russian systems.
The story ties the cooperation to preparation for potential future Black Sea missions, while positioning the new electronic warfare support as part of efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s protection as the war with Russia continues into its fifth year.
