- wrp 4y agoDoes the phrase "successive waves of 28 drones" mean "28 drones in successive waves"? A total of 4 killed doesn't give the impression of a powerful weapon. With a long range but seemingly small payload, the Geran drones look like more of a political than tactical weapon.
- LinuxBender 4y agoMentioned in different articles, these drones have a range of approx. 1200km. What tech could Ukraine and others deploy to jam or confuse these drones?
- rolph 4y agoaerial radar recon, a dew line of sorts. there was a program using weather balloons, mounted with optical and RF equipment to monitor smugglers [adndm] various jammers could be mounted but these drones are likely semi autonomous and hardened, they probly have some type of GPS dependency, using environmental RF triangulation, rather than a satellite based GPS system
- qikInNdOutReply 4y agoI wonder, wouldnt it be enought to have a quadrocopter with some trailing fibres, getting in the way fast enough, winding the fibres into the suicide drone. If that could be automated, lots of them would crash and burn somewhere very remote? The fibers would have to be optimized for this, lightweight but sturdy, weaved into a spidernet, that hardens under pressure.
