Russian soldiers repeatedly surrender to Ukrainian drones. In one example, one of Vladimir Putin’s soldiers apparently wants to enter into a barter deal.
Donbass – Kremlin rulers Vladimir Putin still hasn’t had enough. Of the killing and dying in Ukraine, which the Moscow autocrat had his army from Russia invade in February 2022, insidiously and in violation of international law.
High losses in Ukraine war: Russian soldier surrenders to a drone
Many Russian soldiers on the fronts between Volchansk, Donbass and Zaporizhia, however, have obviously had enough of sacrificing themselves for Putin’s imperialism in the Ukraine war. A new recruitment campaign by the Moscow army in Russia documents how the losses among their troops are constantly increasing.
Meanwhile, several Russian soldiers are now surrendering to Ukrainian kamikaze drones in their dirty trenches and positions. This is reported in videos by military bloggers at X. A recent video is even said to show how a Russian soldier offers the Ukrainians on the drone pilot monitor a deal that is tricky for Putin so that they let him live.
Jammer case against drones? Putin soldier allegedly offered it to Ukrainians
As the American user with the abbreviation “DanielR” wrote on X about the video clips, the Russian soldier allegedly offered a suspected drone jammer with the nickname “Thunderstorm”. The user, who claims to be a physics expert, explains his post on X and the “Thunderstorm”: “The controls are very simple. There are two power switches to activate the transmitters. There is also a switch and a display to check the battery voltage.”
“DanielR” also published photos on the social network that are supposed to show the device, which is integrated into a kind of toolbox, up close. The jammer case contains three antennas for the radio waves that are supposed to disrupt the operation of the drones. There is also an on and off button integrated, as well as a button to check the battery power. Other photos in his post obviously show how the lid of the device has been lifted. Under the lid are supposedly jammer modules for the jammers made in China, as well as a large battery. The information cannot be independently verified.
Drone war in Ukraine: Alleged Russian jammer looks like toolbox
The photos at least look authentic. The X-User writes further about the photos: “There are 3 jammer modules inside the case. The modules are made in China and cost about $100 each. Each module is connected to an antenna via a coaxial cable. These modules typically generate a lot of heat. There is a fan, but no ventilation slots in the case. There is also no fan guard.”
And further: “Each module runs through a specific frequency range and requires a customized antenna. There are 3 directional antennas that transmit 100 watts. The 2.4 GHz and 1.5 GHz antennas must be aimed at the drone to disrupt the control and GPS signals.” The technical specifications cannot be independently verified either. Normally, the jammers in the Ukraine war are operated manually by soldiers on the ground and look like wide rifles from science fiction films.
Jammer
A jammer makes the perfect reception of a radio signal (mobile phone, GPS or radar) difficult or impossible. The jammer sends out electromagnetic waves just like the transmitter being jammed and completely or partially overlays the original waves. It can operate on the same or a neighboring frequency as the jammed receiver.
Jammers in the Ukraine war: Jammers disrupt the GPS signal of a drone
To explain the function in a simplified way: In theory, jammers are designed to fend off remote-controlled drones by taking control of video and navigation signals. Jammers disrupt a drone’s GPS signal by emitting electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency, so that the enemy drones cannot be maneuvered and controlled as intended. What became of the soldier is not known. (pm)
