The Ukrainian military used the Lima electronic warfare system to counter Russian Oreshnik ballistic missiles during an attack in May 2026. The development is capable of distorting the navigation signals of enemy weapons, causing them to deviate from their intended route or collapse in mid-air.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is stated<\/a> in the material of The New York Times.<\/p>\n

How the Ukrainian “Lima” system works<\/h3>\n

The Lima complex creates electromagnetic interference that affects the navigation systems of Russian missiles and drones. As a result, the weapons receive incorrect coordinates and can change their direction of movement.<\/p>\n

In particular, GPS navigation can determine the location of a missile as if it were in Peru. Due to this distortion of data, Russian weapons deviate from their targets, and some of them are destroyed while still in the air.<\/p>\n

The system is being developed by the Ukrainian company Cascade Systems, which has US investors. Work on the antennas for the complex began almost four years ago.<\/p>\n

Early versions of the technology were able to disrupt some Russian cruise missiles and drones. However, the Russian military later began adapting the weaponry to new obstacles, including installing additional antennas on drones and missiles.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Cascade Systems stated that in the first three months of 2026 alone, the Lima system diverted more than 30 cruise missiles and 10,000 drones from their targets.<\/p>\n

Also, of the 62 Russian Kinzhal missiles launched into areas covered by the Lima Quant system, 33 disintegrated in mid-air, and the rest missed their targets.<\/p>\n

How “Lima” countered “Oreshnik” missiles<\/h3>\n

One of the most notable results of the system’s use was the episode of May 24, 2026. Then Russia launched two supersonic Oreshnik missiles in the direction of the Kyiv region.<\/p>\n

According to the publication, one of the military units of the “Night Watch” used the “Lima” complex to counter these missiles.<\/p>\n

As a result, one of the missiles hit a garage in the Kyiv region, located several miles from any military facility. The other disintegrated in the air, and its fragments fell on the territory temporarily occupied by Russia.<\/p>\n

Journalists also noted that Russia recently appears to have stopped using the Oreshnik and Kinzhal missiles.<\/p>\n

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin justified the Oreshnik strike on Ukraine by claiming that it was a test of the weapon before its further use.<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that Russia may soon use the Oreshnik ballistic missile again against Ukraine.<\/a> A Russian MP said that Moscow may allegedly resort to such a strike in the event of new attacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Recall that after a series of launches against Ukraine, Russia may have only one combat-ready medium-range ballistic missile, the Oreshnik<\/a> . Analysts believe that Moscow could have used up most of its stock of such missiles.<\/p>\n
