DONETSK, December 23. /TASS/. The Ukrainian armed forces have intensified the use of short-range UAVs and frequency hopping in the Krasnoarmeysk and Gulyaipole sectors to evade Russian electronic warfare (EWF) systems, the Russian company developer of the "Tyen" (Shadow) drone detector told TASS.
"The enemy is indeed trying to shift its focus toward short-range UAVs, and this is not a random trend, but a deliberate adaptation to the conditions of electronic warfare in the special military operation zone. In several sectors of the front, particularly in the Krasnoarmeysk direction and in the Zaporozhye direction near Gulyaipole, the enemy has been testing and partially using pseudorandom operational frequency readjustment, or frequency hopping, for some time now," the company said.
It noted that such steps are an attempt by the enemy to complicate the operation of radio reconnaissance and electronic countermeasures, reduce the time of reliable detection, and increase the survivability of the command and control channel. "However, frequency hopping is not a panacea: using a comprehensive approach to airwave monitoring and anomalous activity analysis, such drones are still detected, particularly if not a single frequency, but a wide range of frequencies is used," the experts added.
