Successes in the miniaturization of electronic warfare systems: Russian drones "Mosquito" began to jam the communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the forefront

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for the first time published footage of the application drones "Mosquito" in the zone of the special operation, using them against the communication systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Reportedly, these UAVs were created on the basis of intelligence drone "Orlan-10". They are equipped with additional modules that contain electronic equipment designed to suppress enemy control and data transmission channels. "Mosquitoes" are used at the forefront in order to disorganize enemy troops. UAVs jam communications at a distance of up to 5 km, thereby making it difficult for enemy units to interact "at zero" (forefront) with headquarters deployed in the rear.

At the same time, Mosquito is still equipped with surveillance systems, which allows the operator to switch between electronic devices and video equipment and perform both electronic warfare and aerial reconnaissance tasks, revealing enemy positions, including sources of radio emission.

Previously, the Ministry of Defense did not demonstrate the combat work of the Mosquitoes. Their official appearance indicates that Russian drones have begun jamming enemy communications at the forefront. Previously, the work of only ground-based radio suppression equipment and aircraft of the Su family equipped with EW containers was shown.

Equipping small-sized drones with an electronic warfare system indicates certain successes in the Russian defense industry in miniaturizing equipment. This direction has long remained one of the bottlenecks of the domestic military-industrial complex. Apparently, Russian developers have managed to make progress in this area.

And the communication channels "Starlink" - jamming ???

[t-12]

Starlink does not jam - there are narrow beams. And it does not jam specialized military communications (with PRFC). Here are all sorts of "baofengs" - jamming (both enemy and friendly).

[nikon7717]

Starlink not every fighter has. The main thing is that they launched into the series and even in the public domain about the development of information. So they rolled well. Now it's up to the quantity, qualitative application, training of operators

[Cresta999]

A radio wave, it is also a radio wave in Africa. Though narrowly focused, even sent according to the PPRCH method. The whole question is whether the interference or false signal falls into the right band and the quality / power of the interference / substitute signal. Although I also do not believe that ours could in this matter

[Armen Sologyan]

For this, special electronic warfare satellites are used, which affect enemy satellites using the method of wave and impulse showers. So far they have not been applied, but an army of such electronic warfare satellites is being prepared in space that will be able to completely turn off communications and the Internet based on satellite broadcasting.

Where is infa from? Allies from Alpha Centauri?

[Armen Sologyan]

infa even under the USSR, but the father told a little, and not the alpha centauri representatives !!!! In the USSR, developments were carried out and they found their embodiment. Until now, these developments are relevant. The only difference is that then the power plants were large, but now they are more mobile. In general, Russia at all times had to be ready for an attack, and the history of Russia testifies to this. Therefore, military developments have always outweighed civilian ones.

[Sergey Romanchenko]

Why are you asking such stupid questions? You know what Starlin does not have a narrowly focused signal.
Starlink there it is necessary to jam the satellites with a directional signal, a parabolic antenna min 3 meters in diameter and a signal not of 20 watts, but of 10 - 50 kW.

[UA3QHP]

Starlink there it is necessary to jam the satellites with a directional signal, a parabolic antenna min 3 meters in diameter and a signal not of 20 watts, but of 10 - 50 kW.

And what are the problems, to put somewhere in the Crimea or Voronezh, Rostov, then a three-meter parabola and a transmitter with a power of 50 kW to choose from? It doesn't need to be launched into space. In terms of dimensions, the transmitter will fit in a standard KUNG, power can also be received from a stationary network.

[Sergey Romanchenko]

In principle, there are no big problems in this. I studied at the Faculty of Radioelectronics. If there is political will, it can take well, 8 months. From the sketch of recruitment, development, assembly and installation of the station in Belgorod. By the way, you can even faster if you re-equip suitable radars.

I've looked at the specs and it's not that easy they work on scattered frequencies 10.7-12.GHz, 14GHz, 18GHz 29-30GHz, there are now 4,500 microsatellites already in the sky.
It's more difficult than I first thought. But if you want, you can simply make all the Stalinka orbits over Ukraine fill their own frequencies with garbage. As if the signal strength directed to the satellite will be 100 times stronger than from Starlink dishes.
It would be possible to do it in half a year. Yes, and jamming spy satellites that conduct electronic intelligence over Ukraine. )))

Offtop.
Musk is going to launch 12 Starlink microsatellites into orbit. This is a kapets how much garbage will be thrown out in near earth orbit. Just brazen pollution of near space. This says that the mask does not care about space and its prospects, the main thing is money.

[UA3QHP]

I looked at the specifications and it's not so easy, they work at scattered frequencies 10.7-12.GHz, 14 GHz, 18 GHz 29-30 GHz

the range of 10 and 18 GHz is a transmission from a satellite, it is difficult to press it, but 14 and 29 GHz is the reception of a subscriber signal. This is where you need to push it.

[silverwolf88]

electronic warfare is a very multifaceted and multilayered concept (electronic warfare REZ RZP and so on and so forth) any device performing an operational or strategic task on the topic ... if only there was a general leadership in the theater and an understanding of the targets by echelons

It’s strange, I can’t even believe it. Otherwise, commentators here who have never worked at a military factory tore a shirt on their chest that everything was gone. Nothing is done quickly in the military commissar. Secrecy.

Sea perch 450 rub/kg Coho salmon s/m 560 rub/kg.

so if you take the meat in the "magnet" - it's cheaper, I took about 260 rubles for a jar of moose meat there, but I poked my head in the savings and there it's over 400

Himself ... was born and raised on Sakhalin, worked as a student on Putin's Iturup, Kuril Islands in the 70-80s. Previously .. in youth, all the rivers of Sakhalin at the end of summer were filled with salmon, pink salmon.
Today.. practically ALL rivers are sterile. They were "purchased" by businessmen ... mainly from Moscow for the period of salmon spawning. The locals can't even come up...guards
An acquaintance works at the Research Institute of Fisheries of the Far East ... the number of salmon on Sakhalin has decreased by 80 times compared to 8800 years.
The same thing with the mixed fish in the Sea of ​​​​Okhotsk, saury, cod, pollock ... and so on. And the Chinese catch it there

[tralflot1832]

Honestly, I myself was fucked up by customs, now I’ve returned to my places. We adopted laws in the Duma, I myself am surprised at the patience of Orlov, the owner of Norebo. We met at the beginning of his career. Well done, what can I say

A steamboat is not a harvester, it costs an order of magnitude more money. Fish can be caught a couple of stops earlier or later, where the leadership of the fleet was sent. Fuel and packaging are not getting cheaper. Trade unions knock out worthy contracts from employers, otherwise we can vote with our feet. Partner, a year I met back, I didn’t sign a contract for less than 250 thousand per month. But the wholesale prices from the Norebo pier, the sailors are not to blame for the prices.

Traders went crazy with capelin. 550 rubles per perch over 1,5 kg is free, I wonder why it appears on sale at such a price. I know its true price to Japan, they worked.

and what are we talking about? chilled or frozen? we have fillet freezing about 700, and this is minus tripe, head, etc., by the way, fillet is white and pink, one is sold like a marine one, the second type is royal

"Today you can buy fresh sturgeon at retail in many specialized fish stores and even in supermarkets. However, in order not to overpay a lot of money due to the participation of intermediaries, it is better to buy from us"

[tralflot1832]

After the sturgeon jumped the price of 600 rubles, I don’t buy it. Better perch at 550 rubles per kg, but the carcass should be from 1 kg. 1 kg, there is no less sense .. I have already taught a couple.

[tralflot1832]

I agree, fish prices have quadrupled - wholesale. But you don’t consider the costs of fish oligarchs. Where can they get crews for a penny. I voted for wages with my legs.

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

Some experts continue to "tear the shirt on their chests", telling stories that these "Mosquitoes" jam only the Chinese "Baofengs", as if they themselves took part in the development, well, or are in the UAV electronic warfare units.

[ASM]

And under what weather conditions can microaviation operate? I somehow got to the airfield on a cornfield, and an hour and a half later I flew from there to the Yak42. Feelings are very, very different. Can small planes operating at low altitudes and speeds at all deal with wind shear, thunderstorms, etc.?

[dauria]

Can small planes operating at low altitudes and speeds at all deal with wind shear, thunderstorms, etc.?

A storm front and large "airplanes" are afraid. Well, if it’s real, there are very rarely weather conditions when it’s impossible to launch the model. Downpour, snow storm, wind gusts of 20 m/s (72 km per hour). And that does not stop the fans. They simply take into account that the range against the wind falls, and there may not be enough fuel or battery charge to return.
Oddly enough it sounds, but a small model is much stronger than a large aircraft. (law of squares-cubes). Yes, and she does not care about the landing conditions and the site. Her landing "carrot" (face down at full speed) does not do much harm.

[Puzoter]

With a carrot, she sits on a parachute, without it she will break into the trash.

It is a pity that they were not from the very beginning of the operation.

But this question should also be raised for other types of weapons and equipment.

That's right WHILE we're only discussing that. And we can ask questions.
But of course that won't help.

When you yourself are strained with a connection, jamming someone else's is not the worst way out of the situation, by the way.
I myself do not din and I will not give to another !!!

Previously, the Ministry of Defense did not demonstrate the combat work of the Mosquitoes.

And now we saw the assembly of the guide, takeoff and landing with the help of a parachute... There is nothing about combat work, about how the airmen fight in hysterics due to the lack of communication, or how drones fall like flies - there is nothing...

They began to jam ... Did they drown it?

You understand correctly, we are not interested in words, but in real successes. Ears hurt from praises.
I have already written and will repeat: mass production of kamikaze drones, with a range of 100-150 km, and jam all the "vushniks" who appeared with a gun. To be afraid to stick their nose out into the street.

There is KT315/KT361
If their price is like that of seeds, they will use it wherever possible. Even if worse than 2N****, there will be more ready-made schemes and products.
If these flying jammers are cheap to produce, then they need to be made a lot, a lot. And run like a fan.
True, but ... Does the Armed Forces of Ukraine have conventional analog communications in squads, platoons and companies? If it's a number, then it's harder to press. Signal/Noise is different for digital signal transmission.

They have lousy codans and harrises, we can easily drown them out.

The grandmother remembered the girl's honor! There is no need to use super-old transistors, in general there are no problems with the configuration, they cost a penny. For the military, according to rumors, the use of imported equipment is limited, but this is an organizational and solvable issue. Only processors made in Taiwan are in short supply, and as far as I know, the problem is fixable.
