Suicide Drones Continue to Inflict Higher Casualties on the Russian Military

According to Andrew Perpetua, an OSINT (open source intelligence) analyst who is independently sorting out equipment losses caused by the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war, data confirmed on the 18th showed that about 110 pieces of Russian military equipment losses (destroyed, damaged, etc. abandoned, captured) were found. The number of casualties of the Ukrainian army was limited to about 25.

Perpetua commented that whether this was the highest number of Russian military equipment losses recorded in a single day, "I don't quite remember, but it's close." This is probably close to the largest gap in the number of losses between the two sides in history. For each damage, Perpetua also lists the weapon that caused the damage (if known).

It is reported that the self-destructive FPV (first-person view) drone destroyed the most Russian military equipment so far that day. The Ukrainian military's FPV drones, which cost about $500 and are deployed about 100,000 per month, damaged about 80 pieces of Russian military equipment. The Russian military seems unable to stop the attacks of Ukrainian military drones.

A recent exposé by a Russian military blogger shows why. Russian industry has produced a variety of signal jammer that can block communications between drones and their pilots, but many of them don’t seem to work. The blogger angrily charged that $2,400 jammers being marketed on popular Telegram channels were not only useless, but harmful.

The jammers gave frontline troops a false sense of credibility, leading to their deaths. “It’s shocking to imagine how many soldiers have died because of false hope,” the blogger wrote. The multi-frequency jammer the blogger dissected is not the first anti-drone jammer used by the Russian military on the front lines of the current two-and-a-half-year war, but it has proven ineffective. In early April, a Ukrainian brigade conducted a daring three-night operation to capture an abandoned Russian tank equipped with a new type of jammer. It seems that this jammer didn’t do much either.

Using radio jamming devices to repel drones attacking critical infrastructure

A drone crashed near a Pennsylvania substation in July 2020, most likely with the goal of destroying the substation’s electronics. The drone was a modified multi-rotor aircraft manufactured by China's DJI Innovations.

Fortunately, the attack did not disrupt power supply or damage substation equipment, but it was the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that investigated the incident. The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) concluded that this was "the first case of a modified drone attack on energy infrastructure in the United States."

Such attacks will continue to occur somewhere in the world. This is because relatively cheap commercial drones can be used to attack critical infrastructure.

Jamming GPS signals is a regular feature of Russian military security operations

 　　Russia has jammed GPS signals around NATO exercises on more than one occasion, often from a base in Syria jamming large swathes of the Middle East. Spoofing GPS signals in Moscow and the Black Sea to trick receivers into reporting they are at airports miles from their actual location is well documented. 　　The United States has formally expressed concern about the recent surge of Russian troops and their activities on the Ukrainian border. Two U.S. Navy ships are reportedly heading to the Black Sea to monitor the situation. 　　The birth of mobile phones has indeed shortened the distance between people and brought great convenience to everyone's life. However, with the popularity of mobile phones, everyone has basically reached a form that is inseparable from the body, which gives many opportunities. It can do a lot of damage. Therefore, the cell phone jammer market also came into being. 　　Some areas that require strict control, such as military power plants, prison...

The shape of the garage will determine how you install the jammer

　　Jamming satellite signals is not easy because it requires a lot of power.If someone finds out that you are using a cell phone jammer, they may report that you are interfering with radio signals and causing harmful interference.If the signal jammer is strong enough, it can block signals from a certain location or even moving vehicles.All in all: do some research first!First, consider the location of your company or office. 　　So how do you know where to give you the results you want? 　　We recommend visiting a few websites before buying anything so they can help guide you on what to do based on technical specs and budget constraints Make informed decisions about how much power each device needs - meaning they can also point to different options if needed, depending on whether money is more important than size constraints (and vice versa).If the jammer is nearby, it can interrupt communication between the mobile device and the base station.The good news is that there is a ...

　　As you can see, the signal jammer is versatile and can work on many different devices. Are you worried about your privacy, need your venue to be undisturbed, or don't want to receive so many phone calls again? A mobile phone jammer is very suitable for you. 　　Just be sure to check the law at your location before purchasing and operating the signal jammer. 　　Cell Phone Jammer Uses 　　When it comes to governments and the military, signal jammers are very powerful. They are used in a variety of counter-terrorism strategies, from blocking radio communications to dismantling explosives. Preventing criminals from communicating with offensive forces is key to thwarting their plans and capabilities. 　　When it comes to civilians, signal jammers are also useful. 　　Civilians worried about privacy see signal jammers as a defensive tactic. Signal jammers can prevent cell phones and other devices from communicating with the outside world. This can prevent devices such as microp...
