Unknown electronic warfare systems in Donbas massively disable APU quadcopters

Since January, Ukrainian operators drones, participating in hostilities near Artemovsk as part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, began to experience serious problems due to the appearance on this sector of the front of new Russian electronic warfare systems. Here they lost almost a hundred unmanned vehicles, with the help of which Kyiv militants corrected artillery fire.

This is reported by the Telegram channel "Military Chronicle".

According to information received from captured Ukrainian servicemen, unknown EW systems in the Donbas are massively incapacitating quadrocopters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Heading towards the Russian positions, the drones do not even have time to reach them due to the suppression of signals by electronic systems.

It is noteworthy that the use of new Russian systems was noted only in the Artemovsky direction. For the first time, their work was recorded in the fall of last year in the Kremennaya area, but the massive use of these electronic warfare equipment is noted only near Artemovsk. Because of this, large units of the 53rd, 63rd and 93rd OMB of the Ukrainian army lost their reconnaissance drones.

According to the information received from the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during radio intercepts, they believe that portable electronic warfare systems are operating against them, located directly on Russian infantry positions or in a nearby forest. It is assumed that the size of the station does not exceed several tens of centimeters. When an enemy UAV is detected, it automatically starts intercepting it and landing the drone in a place inaccessible to the enemy.

Great! To deprive hoh#s of drones is half the success!

[hrych]

Electronic warfare is our everything, unfortunately, the saturation of the army with it, like with the Lancets, is only beginning now. I hope we will surprise the NATO people. Somewhere on the way there is an EMP cannon with a range of up to 10 km.

[Rome]

I wonder why only in the area of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe Wagner PMC? Maybe the musicians on the world market bought imported jammers for themselves?

[Uprun]

It is commendable, a novelty from Voentorg, if not a fake.

Laudable, new from Voentorg

If it were from Voentorg, it would not only be near Bakhmut.

The problem of electronic warfare is in poor direction. You turn on such a system, the enemy’s communication will fall, but our communication will also fall, problems will arise for our air defense system, etc. Ie. anything to do with radio transmission. Enemy drones don't fly, but neither do ours. There is a question of expediency here. In this case, more high-tech systems that do not crush a wide frequency band, but apparently more selective work, incl. against digital systems.

[Zefr]

But do phased arrays shine where they have to? Now the locators are almost invisible. All antennas are flat

[hrych]

The same radiation pattern as with the reflector.

[Aviator_]

But do phased arrays shine where they have to?

There are also side lobes.

Is not a fact. Any device before going into mass production is first tested, preferably in combat conditions. Maybe this product is still available only in piece copies and is being tested in the hottest area, so to speak, with benefit. Judging by the "reviews" received from the captured Banderlogs, the testing is going well and it can be expected that soon the troops will receive this system not only in the Artyomovsky direction.

Speaking of Bakhmut! "The Ministry of Defense has blocked the recruitment of prisoners in the Wagner PMC, and this will have a very negative impact on the operational situation in Bakhmut, the authors of the military-political Telegram channels believe."
Well, aren't pests sitting there?

[spektr9]

I don’t think it’s fake, it’s just that most xoxl drones have civilian models with Ali, this is a fact. So it’s good that even after a year of hostilities they guessed to use a jammer ...

[75 Sergey]

It would be nice if that's the case.
Passive methods have not been canceled either

[Vladimir80]

Good news, if this is indeed the case ... The military correspondents have not yet had anything like this, we must wait for confirmation ...

[vladcub]

Silence on Topvar, in the "cart"?

[ivan1979nkl]

the use of new Russian systems was noted only in the Artemovsky direction

all the best - against the Nazis in Artemovsk

[tihonmarine]

According to the Military Chronicle, for the first time such a phenomenon was encountered by units of the 80th separate airborne assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kremennaya region in November last year, however, massive drone failures since the end of January have been recorded only in the Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) region.

[Bingo]

Well, the equipment has reached the front ... Now it will be more fun

[Leader_Barmaleev]

But Ukrainian news agencies claim that it was the reptilians from the planet Nibiru who allowed their reptile to catch butterflies - now he will catch them, they will fly home and everything will go as it was. To the question - why does the reptile catch only Ukrainian drones? - they answer that the Russians have run out of all UAVs for a long time, so there is nothing to catch.

[Viktor Sergeev]

Well, about a few dozen centimeters and automatic interception is a fairy tale.

[isergil]

It's like looking. If their drones don't fly, then neither do we. Now, if you turn it on, collect a "harvest" of Ukrainian drones, and then turn it off and start your own, it's another matter.

[igorbrsv]

Perhaps they land with squeakers and no fiction

[Li17]

less than a year ... It would be nice if it were a fact!

[Egeny]

It is assumed that the size of the station does not exceed several tens of centimeters.

Who is supposed to, APU? And how could the Khokhls determine the size of what they did not see?
But if so, then a portable station is already good.
This means that it will be used in other sectors of the front.

[igorbrsv]

Pishchal is also a portable station. And tens of centimeters is from 20 cm to 1 meter. Portable means not stationary. So it will appear on others

[dva36]

It works, so we urgently need to saturate the entire front.

[cpls22]

The main thing is that a batch of spinning rods is not delivered to the enemy.

With automatic interception, there may be nuances.
But what do you think should not fit in such dimensions? If you do not take into account the antennas.

[Prokop_Pork]

The systems did not pass military acceptance, so they are not in the army. And Wagner is not limited in the use of anything.

[vladcub]

"unknown electronic warfare systems" does it mean that everything is not so sad with us? Roman Skomorokhov claims that we have a complete sadness with electronics

[Egeny]

We have not only with "electronics", we have "sadness" with literacy.))

[Herman 4223]

And who is he to say anything, and who does he work for?

[Aviator_]

And who is he to say anything, and who does he work for?

This is a local writing Guru who knows everything about everything and regularly shares his "knowledge".

[Expert2023]

This would be the coolest answer for the use of chemical weapons from drones

[Anchonsha]

Yes, it's just wonderful, if you make all military front-line units blind, artillery becomes completely out of work. And to beat, as before, on arrays is too expensive.

[storm]

So that's where we get so many drones from, or Iran, Iran :))

[Sergei N 58912062]

The bulk of Khokhlyatsky quadrocopters are civilian and professional DJI models. Perhaps PMC "Wagner" massively purchased and use the Aeroscop system.

It’s strange, if we use it so successfully near Artemovsk, then why in other areas with UAVs full j /// pa, can the authors of the Telegram channel “Military Chronicle” be found and interrogated with passion - how do they know about the results of the intercepts of the negotiations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and how they deciphered these negotiations in which they complain about portable electronic warfare in the nearby forest?
The VSU officers even measured the apparatus with a tape measure ... This article is a joke or something from VO.
Or finally found Kulibin, who was tired of enemy UAVs?
