In addition to advanced combat drones, Russia is also rapidly developing electronic warfare systems to counter enemy weaponry. A brand new such system has just passed military performance tests with flying colors.
The Tetrahedron electronic warfare system is specifically designed to combat all sorts of modern first-person view (FPV) kamikaze drones and has been successfully tested in the special military op zone, Andrei Ivanov said, a representative of the developer.
"The Tetrahedron electronic warfare system is intended for covering [our] equipment against modern strike drones of various manufacturers. This is how it works – a wide-band obstacle is set up on control channels, including using offset frequencies. (This is a) simple and reliable suppressor that has passed complex testing and proved its effectiveness," he noted.
According to the designer, the system is fit to be used on both military and civilian objects. Tetrahedrons are equally capable of covering military equipment, ambulances, or public transport alike. It can also be used to protect fixed objects such as roadblocks or bus stops.
Tetrahedron systems have been successfully tested against a number of different size FPV-drones operating at different frequencies that are manufactured by independent developers.
Watch Russian Su-25 Jet Unleash Torrent of Fire on Ukrainian Positions
Su-25 attack aircraft play a crucial role in the special military operation, providing air support to Russian troops.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage showing the combat work of Su-25 fighter jets in the north of the Donetsk People's Republic. A squadron of jets carried out a sortie against Ukrainian positions, unleashed a barrage of unguided air-to-ground missiles and returned to base in one piece.
The pilot of the attack aircraft explained that they provide air support for the Russian infantry.
Su-25s are able to launch missiles at extremely low altitudes and evade enemy air defenses with sophisticated maneuvers and state-of-the-art devices that deceive heat-seeking systems by creating false targets.
Watch Russian Drone Operators Explain How They Disrupt Ukraine's Military Plans
Conducting troop rotation and resupplying units in the field has become a nigh impossible task for Ukrainian commanders due to incessant Russian drone strikes.
Previously, Ukrainian convoys could feel relatively safe deep in home territory, but the increased range of new Russian drones has quickly put an end to that.
Ukrainian troop movements are being monitored around the clock and are constantly being disrupted by drone strikes, one Russian drone operator has revealed.
“Previously, they could drive around like they were moving through peaceful cities, delivering their load and driving away,” the serviceman said, referring to Ukrainian convoys conducting troop rotation. “Since we got our hands on FPV [first-person view] drones, it became nearly impossible for them.”
