1 hour 9 minutes Posted Apr 6, 2022 at 6:07 pm.
GR: As if in an answer to a question I asked last week: The drone operators who halted Russian convoy headed for Kyiv
The Russians can latch on to the drone’s electronic signature and quickly strike with mortars, so the Aerorozvidka teams have to “launch and run”.
Jamming… back and forth. The unit is also looking at ways to overcome Russian jamming, part of the electronic warfare being waged in Ukraine in parallel to the bombs, shells and missiles. At present, Aerorozvidka typically waits for the Russians turn off their jamming equipment to launch their own drones, and then it sends up its machines at the same time. The unit then concentrates its firepower on the electronic warfare vehicles.
Defense and offence. Making warfare harder. Size and sophistication makes a difference.

Started by young university-educated Ukrainians who had been part of the 2014 Maidan uprising and volunteered to use their technical skills in the resistance against the first Russian invasion
Some of the advanced modems and thermal-imaging cameras made in the US and Canada are subject to export controls, so they have resorted to crowdfunding and asking a global network of friends and supporters to find them on eBay or other websites.
