(NSFW) Portable Jammer Fails To Protect Russian Troops
Published 8 months ago
Footage released by Ukrainian forces reportedly shows a Russian drone jammer unit, carrying portable REB electronic warfare devices, attempting and failing to defeat incoming bomb drones.
According to the Ukrainian source, the Russians were able to jam the controls of one of their drones, but they were still able to observe the feed. The jammer, however, did not have an effect on whatever frequency the FPV bomb drones were using, and they were able to accurately strike and kill two Russian soldiers. The second soldier hit was the one carrying the jamming device in a rucksack on his back. Once the REB (EW) was destroyed in the strike, the observation drone pilot was able to control the device again.
