Enemy expanded Chinese mesh modem bandwidth for drone comms

Bottom line

Enemy expanded Chinese mesh modem operating bandwidth from 200 MHz to 400 MHz for drone communication.

Why it matters

NATO EW units should update their spectrum monitoring and jamming profiles to account for the increased bandwidth of Chinese-made mesh modems, which may improve Russian drone resilience to electronic warfare.

Enemy expanded Chinese mesh modem operating bandwidth from 200 MHz to 400 MHz for drone communication. Context: Russian pilots use Alabuga specialists for comms setup; passwords noted as ‘Pizda’ and key ‘Xyi’.
