Russian Troops Receive Newly Advanced Anti Drone Tanks in Ukraine

Can you imagine if humanity put all their efforts to eradicate cancer

They upgraded their shovels of anti drone

There are many anti drone technologies out there that claim to be effective but they all fail to work in any consistent fashion. The 2 more common types either jam or block the control frequencies of the drones or use microwaves to try and burn the electronics of drones. The reasons they fail is because if you jam the frequencies you also jam your own communication devices and electronics who use the same frequencies so you also hurt yourself and your ability to function and communicate. The microwave emitter devices are a pain in the ass to use because you need them to track a moving target and stay on it for enough time to burn the electronics and simple materials available everywhere can be used to block them rendering them useless. Not to mention the challenges involved with projecting microwaves at distances and dispersal problems over distance causing possible damage to unintended targets. I have yet to see an anti drone device work consistently in the field. There are plenty of videos out there made by the manufacturers claiming how great they are but they are all made in controlled variable environments so they can guarantee the result and sell their product. In real life ... that's a different story.

The tanks should launch their own drones.

You mean that a country that relies on shovels and refrigerators also has technical capacity? Who would have thought!

For every armor invented, there has been invented a penetrator. For every penetrator, there has been invented an armor. And so it goes till 1 of the 2 combatants can no longer conduct combat. The end of this war is closer than it was a year ago, but it is still not close to ending this year. The march to victory continues on both sides.

I just saw a video today of a trainload of T-72's showing up in Belgorad last night. They are all equipped with these systems. I just went back to the video and checked.

Russia's anti-drone method: jammed and disabled with signals. US's anti-drone method: we need more firepower.

So a new tactic will evolve- mix drones and old fashioned wire guided weapons. Those can’t be defeated by jammers.

Newly advanced anti-tank drones meet newly advanced anti-drone tanks. Same result. The age of the tank is over.

Problem is now that drones are incorporating AI capabilities, once a target is targetted AI takes over & no drone operator is required at that point.

An obvious counter would be to have the drone identify its own targets by pattern recognition. No operator needed, but getting close to Skynet territory.

Just a thought. These antidrone systems probably work by basicly bursting out traffic in entire spectrums of radiotraffic with a fairly high wattage. Wouldnt it be possible to use this to locate the tanks? They are probably online most of the time because tankers will not hear or see something as small as a drone.

If the jammer puts out a signal to jam the fpv. Then can you just design a fpv that just lock onto and seek out that signal?

and that's the start for AI-controlled drones. Wait and see... the first of its kind is already swimming in the sea and looks like a manta ray.

Many of the drones use the commercial 390MHz channels, and some others. These are not like the cellphone frequencies. Also, it is easy to change the frequencies for low frequency drones.

Anything which emits a signal can be 'seen' on the battlefield, presumably that signal can be homed in on. In any case, if the supression system is any good they wouldn't advertise it.

I love military innovations, especially during the war.... Engineering marvels.

Слава Русским-Советским военным инженерам 😊

It can't stop a drone with target lock.
