Strizh was designed to fight drones on the battlefield, but was itself destroyed by one of the drones, thanks to a well-meaning attack by a Ukrainian soldier.
Ocean’s 12th reconnaissance group destroyed the expensive Russian electronic warfare system Strizh. Related images were posted on the Telegram channel by blogger and volunteer Sergey Sternenko on Monday, August 28.
Signing the video, Sternenko said, “The Russian Strizh electronic warfare system creates many problems for our troops. One of them will no longer exist. Because 12 of Ocean’s friends destroyed this electronic warfare system with a drone.”
It shows how the “Kakhovka 518” FPV drone gains altitude and flies over buildings. The drone’s purpose is an electronic warfare device that the invaders place on a high iron tower. The Kamikaze drone successfully completes its combat mission and is replaced by a reconnaissance UAV, which transmits images of the explosion of the Russian anti-drone electronic warfare system to the operator: it was engulfed in flames, and the wind carried its ashes from the ground. affected equipment.
FPV-drones perform various tasks at the front: from the destruction of Russians and equipment to the defeat of electronic warfare / RER and general work on suppressing the enemy. Sometimes they are irreplaceable for the Ukrainian army.
What is known about the Russian electronic warfare “Strizh”
“Strizh” can operate in passive mode and thus hide from radio intelligence. It has six to eight antennas arranged in a circle and constantly monitoring the air. Thus, the electronic warfare system “looks” for a drone approaching it. He lets drones get close to him and jams them.
“Swift” belongs to the dome type of electronic warfare, but it has one feature: it works actively only when an enemy drone approaches. Before and after suppressing the target, the system works in passive mode, saving energy and hiding from the enemy.
Recall that at the end of May, unmanned aerial vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine forced the Russians to dismantle their electronic warfare equipment. Russia has some of the best electronic warfare technologies, but the Ukrainians have learned how to destroy the systems. The invaders need to use cheats.
And at the end of March, the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed Russia’s newest electronic warfare station “Strizh”. At the same time, the invaders lost an armored personnel carrier-80, a BMD, a Tyulpan self-propelled mortar and four 120 mm mortars in the Limansko-Kupyansk direction.
