This system is considered one of the most advanced and secretive in Russia’s defense arsenal. It works by emitting radio frequency (RF) interference disrupting the control signals between the drone and its operator, forcing it to either land or hover in place until it is brought down, or its battery fails.
Am I reading this wrong, or, are they in fact saying that Russia’s most advanced defensive technology is an rf jammer?
Well compared to wood blocks and chicken wire cages, a simple RF hammer does seem pretty high tech …
Lol so they stuck a rf target on their tanks…
Given the massive distance these drones fly, I think an RF jammer is the best they could come up with.
And it doesn’t appear to be very effective judging by the footage of drone attacks.
Isn’t an RF jammer basically the only defense against a drone? Apart from shooting it down?
Give the drone a few directional antennas and have it aim for the jammers
Jammers are great, what HARM could they possibly cause
Cancer. All ruzzians driving these tanks are going to be getting cancer.
HARM is a category of weapon which seeks things like radar or jammers. They weren’t suggesting that the jammers are literally harmless.
In unrelated news: the jammers are, in fact, harmless unless you’re making a habit of riding on top of the tank. The radio energy isn’t going to penetrate a significant thickness of conductive material, such as armour plating. Or unless you’re the person being jammed, in which case they’re a different category of harmful
Wouldn’t you not want to tell them you have one so that they keep wasting energy and manpower thinking it works?
Or you tell them you have it and they immediately stop using it, even before you crack how it works.
