Electronic warfare systems on Ukraine’s F-16s get specially tuned to combat evolving Russian threats — US Air Force squadron collaborated with Danish and Norwegian counterparts to reprogram EW capabilities
The U.S. is using its highly classified threat library to improve the chances of survival for Ukraine's F-16 and to gather critical intel in return.
As part of ongoing collaboration on this front, the Ukrainians will pass data they collect in real combat back to the United States to help further refine and improve electronic warfare capabilities available to both countries, as well as other allies and partners. As already mentioned, at least some of Ukraine’s initial tranche of F-16s have been spotted with pylons from defense contractor Terma in Denmark that have built-in approach warning sensors and that can be fitted with electronic warfare jammers, as well as dispensers for decoy flares and chaff. “With Ukraine now being onboarded as an official foreign military sales [FMS] case for the 68th EWS, the unit will provide reprogramming capabilities based on feedback from the Ukrainians,” according to the release from the Air Force today.
