It has been nearly a year since the development of special military operations between Ukraine and Russia. During this year, we can often see an interesting phenomenon on various news channels: the two sides have sent various styles of drones to the battlefield , DRONEs attack each other in a variety of ways, and have also produced a lot of combat results, but then some people have such doubts, in the process of Ukrainian and Russia using drone s to fight each other, could it be There is nothing to do with these flying drones? After almost a year of special military operations on both sides, why do we see so little news about the use of drone jammers?
The main reason why drone s can be popular in the battlefield environment is because of their small size and exquisite size, and their ultra-low altitude flight makes it difficult for ground radar to detect and identify them. At the same time, they can fly at low speed or even hover. , then the DRONE only needs to be kept three or four hundred meters away from the soldiers, and it can be almost completely undetected. Even worse: Even if it is discovered, it is basically an impossible task to shoot it down with guns or artillery. In view of this situation, in fact, the best way to attack drones is to use drone jammers.
Why is it said that using drone jammers is the best way to combat drones? That's because the target of drones is indeed too small, and it is definitely difficult to accurately aim and shoot them down with conventional weapons. However, drones are not without weaknesses. Its weakness is that most drones are operated by operators. For remote control, and remote control must involve the transmission of wireless communication signals, the drone jammer is to grasp this key point, focusing on the precise interference of the signal transmission link of the drone. If signals such as flight control and navigation positioning are disrupted by interference signals, the drone can only lose its target and fly around like a headless chicken, or even fall directly to the ground and be damaged.
Going back to the original question, why is there so little reported use of drone jammers in Ukrainian-Russian special military operations? This is mainly due to two reasons: the first is that Ukraine and Russia have not paid much attention to the field of drone jammers in recent years, especially Ukraine, which can be said to have no ability to produce drone jammers by itself. Although Russia has certain research and development capabilities, it is obvious that the production of drone jammers cannot be guaranteed, which makes it impossible to be widely used on the battlefield. The second reason is that news reports require supporting materials for images, and drone jammers are usually secret weapons belonging to the hidden front. Due to the need for confidentiality, any party participating in the war is not willing to take the initiative to disclose the equipment in this regard application.
