Oh yeah, I forgot about the coms gear. Unlike Russian troops relying on cell phone towers during the invasion (while simultaneously knocking the towers down). The EW gear would make it even harder for an already ill-equipped and disorganized defense force to coordinate.

And I bet Ukraine is getting some nice up-to-date intel from NATO assets (satellites, SIGINT, HUMINT...) which helps them decide where to attack and when to evade.

ukrainians have their own capable humint. remember, lots of ukrainians can speak russian at native speaker level. russians can't do the same

after capture of sudzha train station, and maybe before that, ukrainians have all the frequencies used by russian trains. i bet they can make good use of their EW capabilities there
