The new tactics of Russian terrorists

According to Ukrainian UAV specialists, the Russians were able to solve the problem with our groups of Shahanedov’s hunters and further be more difficult to knock them down. Experts say that relatively simple decisions are over. Because many small goals that fly at a height of 3-4 km or more are a minus mobile fire groups that have been created for a long time.

“Can we create such a reb that he disorients these drones? Now the cheeda is flying with eight -channel CRPA antennas, twelve -channel and even sixteen -channel. A year ago, they flew on four -channels, they were easy to silence, feed a fake signal. This means that the chess now processes the data from GPS satellites and others and successfully scatter the false signals of the interference. If, for example, to make such a rebe, which from a height of 7 km will generate interference, then it must be placed and placed throughout Ukraine. As long as we do it, the enemy will switch to the flight on the image processing with artificial intelligence. That is, without GPS (GNSS) and the EW will no longer be needed, ”one of the recruits of Ukrainian drones wrote on his Facebook page.
