Russian 'Yastreb' EW system claims FHSS drone suppression at 300 W / 3 kg

Published 15 August 2026

A Russian engineering channel describes ‘Yastreb’ (Hawk), an EW unit that simultaneously scans the full RF band and suppresses only the precise frequency on which a detected drone is transmitting — including tracking the signal as it frequency-hops (FHSS/PPCH). At roughly 3 kg and 300 W the system is framed as a surgical alternative to broad-spectrum jammers that saturate friendly frequencies. The developer claims Ukraine has no equivalent in series production, though acknowledges parallel development is under way on the other side. Independent confirmation is not available.
