When the EC does not work: the Armed Forces showed how to find a UAV calculation on the fiber (video)

To spread: in one episode, the Russians managed to launch six drones with fiber -optic connection, but the National Guard fighters were able to identify the launch place and struck. The fighters of the battalion of unmanned Khortytsia ghost systems of the 15th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine were able to identify and destroy the operators of Russian drones, controlled through the fiber cable. The corresponding video was posted on social networks on February 17.

These devices were considered protected from radio electronic suppression (HRB) and radio intelligence (RTR), but practice showed that they have weaknesses. Natural factors helped the identification of the enemy's dislocation. The footage shows how the cable, illuminated by the low sun, created a visual landmark, which managed to set the direction to cover Russian operators. After analyzing the routes of the six enemy drones, it was possible to determine the possible location of the enemy group.

As a result, the Ukrainian fighters struck the found position with the help of FPV and the enemy had released ammunition. As a result, five Russian servicemen were eliminated. At the same time, in their comments, Defense Express observers noted that such vulnerability is also inherent in Ukrainian drones, so the enemy will also be able to identify the position of Ukrainian operators. "It should be understood that a similar method of search will begin to use, if the enemy is not already used.
