Fantastic!! My only criticism is that you ID’d the area in Ukraine where these are produced. That seems unnecessary. And potentially risky.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Agreed. They show too much in many videos. Military intelligence look for all things. Even a vehicle licence plate shown can be a bad idea in many ways. It can be tracked and in some countries the vehicle registration number has a number in it which is regional. So that is a give away too.

At 2:15 you see on that screen that two ranges of frequencies are jammed. Most probably 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz which are the usual ranges for normal consumer grade drones.

[@DrewNorthup]

The GPS carrier isn't incredibly broadband (for that range of wavelengths) and the 2.4GHz band is well-known. It doesn't have to emit radiation that can interfere with anything else, nor would that be a good idea.

For commercial drones, sure, but would it defeat anti-jamming capabilities of the military drones, especially ones using LOS EM emissions? Plus, military drones are unlikely to just land or stop and be carried off by wins, they're likely to have fallback measures that would allow them to return to base, even with GPS/glonass blocked. Or does this device have other than EM jamming capabilities? It's still a very useful tool, it just seams that it's effect is easily mitigated.

Helicopters and planes usually have inertial reference systems as a backup to give you your position, so that you can navigate even if systems like GPS or ground radio stations are not available. They don't require any transmission (they are based on gyroscopes and accelerometers), so you can't interfere with them. You will need something like an EMP pulse to fry their electronics, and the only practical devices that could do that at the moment are nuclear bombs. It would be much easier to just blind the pilots with lasers. However, doing that is a war crime.

Ese equipo es súper necesario puede cambiar mucho a favor con esos aparatos accionando tumbando drones rusos de alguna manera la artillería se quedaría ciega no podría recibir las coordenadas para apuntar objetivos evidente son muy necesarios vitales y deben adquirirse muchos más además de drones

[@politicoinutil]

Supongo que si publican estas imagenes será porque en estos momentos les conviene, porque sino no sería mejor no mostrales a los rusitos nada y que se coman su cabeza cuando sus viejos drones dejen de emitir y no vuelvan a origen. Supongo por otro lado que igual ellos tambien tienen algo parecido pero seguramente no funcionaran muy bien, marca de la casa.

It can really interrupt the connection to a drone hovering 6ft from the ground or a laptop 6ft away? This is game changing.

544 nice my dear but today i really need u to save me im broke this year because of a problem of behavior disorder and it is difficult for me to find a job so i beg u the best with respect to found me 5ghc for food help please

[@mambamentality4483]

Thats one sweet device! Good job UA!!!

[@ehenri1438]

that thing can stop incoming missiles, make them turn around , and send them back to where they came from

[@typhoon8711]

This jamming device in my opinion is very helpful for law enforcers to disable drones invading the privacy of other people

[@user-wp9jc4cu5x]

I've heard that .50 cal air-rifles also do a fine job of taking out annoying drones that snoop around your area

[@peter7624]

But not silently.

[@ckm-mkc]

Good luck hitting a 6 square inch target flying erratically at 50mph 2000 ft up.... Never mind that an "air-rifle" would never have the range.

[@user-wp9jc4cu5x]

@@ckm-mkc works great on local drones snooping around your property; so i've heard

[@user-wp9jc4cu5x]

love it, keep up the good work..... Slava Ukraini

[@nutsackmania]

Yeah its some high power mosfets. Very innovative.

[@sunnex474]

Russia: *attempts to destroy foreign equipment before Ukraine can use it* Ukraine: fine, I'll do it myself

[@c.erine78]

Interesting device, might want to look into making a smaller prototype, no one will want to carry that and the battery back up. But hey, what do I know-great idea. Watch out for china...

[@ckm-mkc]

Have you seen what else soldiers carry into battlefields? This is very small & portable compared to, say, a Stinger.....

[@MrWolfheart111]

Add it as a small Rifle assesory... That may be the end of drones though... until they find a counter measure.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

It needs alot of power to work at range. This possibly has very limited range.

[@alonsocushing2263]

Excellent! Ukrainian heroes don't just serve on the front lines.

[@bernardo82brazitaly]

Epic technology. Hope the guys continue producing and making their own affairs.

[@mindbomb9341]

WHY are you telling them where (and by whom) this thing is manufactured?!?!?!!?

[@alexandraoryniak5269]

Made localish in Ukraine. Ruscists will need to walk over to get some!

[@vincente184]

All you need to do to get around this is create a program that remembers the EXACT path of the drone, and when it loses connection it uses its compass and barometer to return. Its worth a shot, atleast gets it out of the range of the gun.

[@Yadmeister]

Wow, impressive!

[@matt.willoughby]

I'm sure I've seen this before, was this same video posted on here a few weeks ago?

[@mikitadou]

Wow nice, great ingenuity

[@HEMI345S]

It's another game changer on the battle of the drones ...

[@melvinjohnson2074]

Adapt and overcome.

[@MissionaryInMexico]

What great technology!

[@sempafi899]

Great work everyone.

[@Nekotaku_TV]

Add it to the list of all the out of the box actions by Ukraine in this war. Love it. Slava Ukraini.

[@AbuBakr1]

Commercial drones? Let's test it on a military drone

[@JackiW]

Now this is the kind of weapon I like to hear about. It doesn't harm or destroy; *it only prevents.*

[@trashytaz]

Smart Idea!

[@mickbryan7716]

This is brilliant

[@barbaramoore1955]

Great minds Ukraine. Keep goingworking your technology

[@earlgreco8636]

Another plus for Ukraine. Lord save the people of Ukraine.

[@rajeeb3500]

3.5km ? That's amazing

[@Slicerwizard]

A directional antenna vs GPS signals that originate 20,000 km away. Why is it amazing?

[@ivanpoulsen524]

I like this idea. I support you Ukraine.👍

[@lulenao3987]

Simply unbelievable and beautiful!
