“Jammers” in Moscow worked so strongly that they even suppressed satellite navigation devices in cars. According to the expert, it is very dangerous to use such technology to fight UAVs over cities.
Three drones crashed into residential buildings in the Moscow region due to the operation of Russian electronic warfare equipment. Alexander Kovalenko, military-political observer of the Information Resistance group, wrote this on his Telegram channel.
During drone attacks, the RF Armed Forces used electronic warfare systems extensively in the region. Their effect on satellite signals was so great that drivers turned off their navigators.
“But something else is more important, so this is complete nonsense! The fact is that 3 drones that crashed into high-rise residential buildings were shot down precisely through electronic warfare,” commented Alexander Kovalenko.
He explained that electronic warfare equipment did not destroy attack UAVs armed with explosives, but simply deflected them off course. The use of such technologies in densely populated areas is dangerous because a disorientated device continues to fly, and can crash and crash, although not in the direction from which it was launched. It is much safer to physically hit aircraft using rockets or cannons that detonate the warhead in mid-air.
“The air defense in Moscow today endangered the lives of Muscovites by acting in the most amateurish and panicked manner, and electronic warfare itself came into play, as they were unsure of the interception capabilities of air defense systems and air defense systems. these goals. A disgrace. Total disgrace,” summed up Alexander Kovalenko.
Earlier, Alexander Kovalenko suggested that the drone attack on Moscow could be the result of a conflict between the Russian Ministry of Defense and the FSB, which oversees the Wagner PMC. It is likely that the Russians themselves will launch drones from the Moscow region.
They also wrote that after the drone attack in Moscow, GPS satellite navigation was suppressed. Chaos began on the roads of the Russian capital, many taxi drivers began to get lost in the city and cancel orders, not knowing where to go.
