QUOTE from Tarnavskyi:
“A Pole-21 electronic warfare system designed to interfere with satellite navigation systems has been destroyed.”

DETAILS:
Tarnavskyi did not specify how the Pole-21 system was destroyed.

REFERENCE:
Pole-21 is a Russian electronic countermeasure system known as an effective anti-drone measure.

The system, created in 2016, is designed to protect strategic installations against high-precision weapons (such as cruise missiles and smart bombs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Pole-21 creates a dome that interferes with and suppresses equipment reliant on GPS and radio navigation systems.

The Russians claim that the range of Pole-21 is 60 kilometres, while according to Ukrainian intelligence, it is over 25 kilometres.
