How Ukraine's signal-jamming guns stop Russian drones | DW News 

please go on

Drones may kidnap me in the public! :)

in most countries

😆 2 month old desperate putin troll account! Sources on "half million"? That sounds made up to me.

A million? Lolololololol

Jamming a FPV drone frequency only works if you see it coming. The problem is Russians fly just high enough to not hear or see them. You only know the drone is over head when you get blown up. The Russian FPV drones even got night vision now which is beyond deadIy for exposed troops in a pitch dark field.

Invented by Hedy Lamarr who was also a glamourous actress

There is a decent drone controller built on Arduino that's open source. I suspect a decent amount of Ukrainian coding effort is going into that sort of cat and mouse frequency hopping or battle hardening features. But that's limited to the home grown ones. And Ukraine's manufacturing capacity is limited Vs buying every premade commercial drone Chinese suppliers will sell them. Throw it up "as is" for surveillance. Or pop a 3d printed bomb harness on that goes boom when the wires touch eachother. I've got to hand it to them. The Ukrainians are smart and while they can absolutely to the fancy thing. They are also damn good at doing the easy fast thing very well. Also emp, cute idea but sadly that's more science fiction than fact. Unless you want to pop a nuke in the atmosphere your not getting an emp strong enough for any kind of counter measure.

Do such emp device exist or is it still sci fi, did not see jets response before

@@stefanth8596 The explosively pumped flux compression generator is basically an EMP grenade, and was invented in the 50s. I don't know of any deployment of the tech, though.

drones will just be built with tech that resist counter measures as well, maybe automatically changing frequencies.

Probably off to a naked party in Moscow..

The videos I see on telegram shows that the Ukrainian troops don't even see the drone over their head because it fly too high to hear or see them.

We've had ground drones forever look at EOD robots, give em AI and a gun and you got a ground drone Ukraine has drones for the land sea and air, as well as counters

They have it already

Yeah, so either they have it or they havent it - both with good reasons. So... What...? 🤷‍♂️

how big? the problem is these drones strike from far away.. so jamming it when they already plunging at you it wouldn't stop them. and dont forget the loitering drones that poop nades from far above. do we jam the whole battlefield ?

@@shepard21 Ranging from small (for vehicle protection for example) of 200 meter bubble dome to huge ones that cover 150 km area with a protection bubble..

@@DerelictusAnima You'ld end up jamming your own electronic systems in the process

😂....you think they haven't thought of that?? Jamming doesn't just jamb one frequency.

Javelin obsolete... 😂😂😂

Thank you! What kind of a joke is this? This is supposed to be quality journalism and they include such footage without any disclaimer... pathetic

Sounds like what the Germans are supplying.

You would think they would have that part of the tank a bit more reinforced right? Because even RPGs could target that. Maybe Russian tanks are that weak

Armor on top of thinnest, because they are armored against other tanks. They assume a direct his from above is artillery or a bomb from aircraft, in which case there is no way to prevent that so why waste effort, add weight and cost and reduce mobility to defend against enormous 155mm shells or 500lb-1,000lb bombs. Javelin and Drones take advantage of this. The upper surface of the lower chassis or the tank, right behind the turret is where the tanks autoloader ammunition is stored. Any ammo in there is going to blow.

that makes zero sense and you don't know what you are talking about. and electronic warfare exists

Government vrs citizens

Wait until the Drones are controlled through AI systems. One Pilot, 300 Drones

Hope someone is not programing the jammimg signal to activate... to return to home function from where the jamming signal is coming.

He is a seriously disturbed individual talking utter BS

@@SeanAbbey what’s the BS?

We had a peaceful time 😑 ... but now it's time to be prepared!

Europe is the "uncivilized" part; the rest of the world's buildings aren't as shiny but their people are much better than Europe's.

@@trevorsutherland5263interesting that people from African and Middle Eastern countries are migrating to the uncivilised part of the world as you put it.

Yeah....game changer 😆😆😆😆

It's not dude, Russians had the same version of this "Drone Gun" last year, it didn't do anything. FPV drone footage from both Russia and Ukraine is next level right now, these media outlets are far too disconnected from the reality

@@ankpms830 finally 😀

@@dustywoood the pistol drone wars

@@trqster Why don't you spend 10 minutes and look up recent combat footage from both the Ukrainian & Russian side of the conflict, and come back and re-watch this video and you'll realise how out of touch the media are lol

I have a Canadian version 😂

@@JasonPutschker-xw9uftheyre framing it as its “Ukraine technology” No, its something given to them

I only saw 1 get out

@@ethimself5064 LOL, now that is funny

Perdix micro drone swarms

The flesh drones or the metal ones?

Ukraine now heavily relies on drones because theyre running out of footsoldiers in the field lol

​@Nuklear_Godzilla whats so funny about that

@@1112viggo The metaii ones, then lead does the trick!

As I understand it, what he is saying that the target acquisition and selection could potentially be unpredictable, not whether the drone will hit such a target or not

and it would jam itself. you deserve a darwin award

@@riskinhos jamming itself is fine if the drone can operate by itself, a set of simple instructions of moving to a location, patrol an area and return after a set time. not that i think a big heavy area jamming equipment is viable/practical on a drone

i thought the same. it could also jam specific frequencies that arent itself.. only issue is the drone is much smaller than the jam gun but but that may change someday. also maybe jamming in a specific direction that wont come in contact with the drone.

@@sealwheel there's already electronic warfare drones. check MALD EW

Lattice counter drone system, coyote 2 interceptor drone, Roadrunner and Roadrunner-M, L-MADIS.

seriously?.... what asinine fantasy world are you living in?? what else from fiction should be included? hah this is war,death is an inherent factor. fun fact, gps chips civilians can buy will shut down and stop working if they reach a certain speed, i think mach 1 or 2, reason being that otherwise people could use chips to create guided missiles. Meaning being that for civilians it will be limited, but the government gets everything like always.

Russian drones? But do any of those Russian drones actually work? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Who told you that??

@@boink800 what do you think

@@boink800 bot, you're too detached from reality, everything you say makes me laugh and feel sorry for you.

@@alexbukovsky4621 We have a very sad botski here. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

You hear them before you see them.

@@joeybacker8429 If you fly at a certain height you literally can no longer hear them which is why they're so deadIy for troops with no cover.

If you fly too high, the wind my deflect your grenade with its friction force.​@RichBoy-dc2dq

@@Dave05J I follow several war channels on telegram and watch over 100 FPV drone videos. 90% of the victims don't see the drone coming. Those videos are extremely gruesome so don't go searching for it. There's nothing you can do to stop these drones which account for over 500,000 casualties so far.

The idea that there are laws in war is kind of a farce. War is by definition when all laws are off

safe from Zelenesky?

Safe from the US regime's proxy war?

people somehow forget both sides have the same stuff, just one side has more

"palestine" never existed.

@rogerwilco5918 now I understand why you support Israel. You think its no one actually there in Palestine. Palestine doesn't exist, Palestinians don't exist. I envy how easy it is for you

No. Russia bought them from other countries like Iran. Many are modded civilian drones from China.

Russians have had time to catch up and China/Iran is helping them.

things change. sometimes they are ahead sometimes they are behind. that's how it works. it's war. and ahead in exactly what?

It’s a marathon. Cruel for both sides. We will see what happens. I feel sorry for the soldiers on Both sides. For sure Putin did a horrible failer anyway that leads to this horrible situation.

Something happened. Yet something else happened later!? Can't explain that! - average Z smooth brain 🧠

Thats because Russia invaded Ukraine Stay away from IQ tests in the future,you wont pass it,Igor

If you love ukriane so much go fight its corrupt war. And moreover ukriane is a racist country so all the best! They will treat you the best!

@@Emma.Ari123 corrupt war? did ukraine invade russia? last time I checked they were the ones who were attacked. And racist? there's tons of foreigners fighting alongside ukranians

@@Emma.Ari123 Russia invaded to steal the oil, after promising to be a good boy in exchange for Ukraine turning in their nukes. Russia is corrupt cesspool.
