Kyiv has procured electronic warfare stations from a number of European countries and is commissioning them, Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak said, adding that similar domestic hardware had also been designed.

"Russia has been experimenting and testing its new products, in particular, in the field of intelligence and electronic warfare. Our defense sector has certain developments, too. Besides, we have procured electronic warfare stations from European countries, although I'd rather not disclose their number, and they will be delivered to Ukraine before the end of this year," Poltorak told the press in Kyiv on Monday, responding to a relevant question.

The stations purchased in Europe are being commissioned, he said. "A group of servicemen are commissioning them abroad," the minister said.

"Some Ukrainian [electronic warfare stations] have been delivered, and some are undergoing the final stage of testing, state trials," Poltorak said.

"I believe that our combat potential in electronic warfare issues will be raised with the delivery of the stations we have bought and the stations which have been designed and will be commissioned," the minister said.
