The Race to Defeat Russian Drone Jammers in Ukraine
American-made Anti-Radiation Missiles or ARMs could be the key.
Read on to find out why!
It’s no exaggeration to say that drones have proliferated the Ukrainian battlefield. Both the Russian and Ukrainian armies use small, explosive-laden drones by the tens of thousands to chase down vehicles and infantry.
In fact, these FPV drones might be the third-most dangerous weapon on the battlefield right now, after artillery and mines. If one side manages to ground the enemy’s drones while continuing to fly their own, the results on the battlefield can be drastic.
That’s where drone jammers come in.
Although the Russians have been using them with mixed results along the 600-mile contact line, nearly every Russian armored vehicle is now equipped with an omnidirectional counter-drone electronic warfare jammer.
The Warzone just reported on a new type of Russian tank, hilariously called the “Turtle Tank” with a shed-like metal cover on top to help protect against drone attacks.
