Russian Pole-31 EW station deployed in SVO zone

Bottom line

The 128th Mountain Assault Brigade's FPV company shot down 83 Russian reconnaissance and correction drones in July using FPV interceptors against 'Mavik' drones. The interceptors were developed by generalcherry.fpv.

Why it matters

The success of FPV interceptors against Russian reconnaissance drones suggests a viable countermeasure for NATO forces facing similar drone threats, emphasizing the importance of developing kinetic counter-UAS systems to protect against enemy drone surveillance and targeting.

Ukrainian electronic warfare and counter-drone capabilities have advanced with the deployment of FPV interceptors designed to engage Russian ‘Mavik’ reconnaissance drones. The 128th Mountain Assault Brigade reported shooting down 83 such drones in July alone, utilizing interceptors developed by generalcherry.fpv. This indicates a shift towards kinetic counter-UAS measures that complement traditional electronic jamming, effectively neutralizing Russian drone reconnaissance and correction assets.
