Rostec promotes portable 'Chistyulya' EW system for drone jamming

Bottom line

Rostec's Rosel division promotes 'Chistyulya', a 10kg portable EW system that blocks drone datalinks and GPS, currently tested in the SVO zone.

Why it matters

The deployment of lightweight, portable EW systems like 'Chistyulya' enhances the ability of Russian infantry and small units to counter FPV and reconnaissance drones, complicating Ukrainian drone operations at the tactical edge.

Rostec’s Rosel division has promoted a new portable electronic warfare system named ‘Chistyulya’. Weighing 10kg, the system is designed to block drone datalinks and GPS signals, effectively turning drones into ‘flying black screens’. The system allows for remote activation from cover and is currently undergoing testing in the Special Military Operation zone. This represents a move towards lighter, more deployable counter-drone EW assets for frontline units.
