LOL, you had one job!
That’ll be down to the Russian response time of “whenever they can be bothered”.
It is all very well detecting the drone, but if you then proceed not to do anything about it, it’s not a particularly useful system.
I would love to understand how it’s electronic warfare resistant. I wonder if it’s just manually flown rather than GPS.
Obviously though I don’t expect anyone that knows to answer. We can wait till it’s in the history books.
you can still jam common control channels in this case, like with any other FPV drones
you can’t jam everything, because it would consume enormous power and system would be massively complex. my bet is that they have used some band that was not commonly used, and so, not jammed yet. maybe it’s a band that is normally used by some obsolete protocol or service, that got commandeered for use by military
all it takes is making FPV drone communication modules from scratch, it’s custom job but also known technology. maybe even some components were already commercially available
there are much niftier techniques, but this is probably the simplest one and i don’t think anything more advanced is needed in case of disposable FPV drone
Ah, okay, so it’s about making sure the signal can still get through. That’s not an easy problem to solve because the video and the control signals run on different frequencies and you need both of them to work.
I have more speculation about how they might’ve done it but I’ll fight my tendency to infodump just this once.
when you’re making everything from scratch anyway you can move both of them wherever you want, including next to each other
all the fpv drones they use are manually flown and dont have gps, but yeah it would be cool to know
They must have been pretty close, since it’s manually flown like that.
i mean you can get line of sight video reception out for miles, without looking too hard theres someone who flew out 8 miles, and thats probably limited by battery so a kamikazi drone could go further.
i fly fpv drones for fun so its an odd feeling seeing them used as weapons

Nice soundtrack. Ironically it was a song inspired by Glasnost, when the Soviet Union finally seemed to open up to the west and become more transparent and democratic (“Wind of Change”).
