NATO has equipped Ukraine’s armed forces with anti-drone jammers. The so-called jammers are part of a comprehensive support package, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said at a press conference in Brussels on Friday. It also included fuel, medical supplies and winter equipment.
The jammers are mainly intended to help Ukraine fend off attacks with kamikaze drones. The devices are usually electromagnetic transmitters that interfere with the drones’ navigation or communication systems.
According to information from Kiev, the Russian army has been increasingly attacking with kamikaze drones since October. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, mainly Iranian-made aircraft are used.
In particular the Shahed-136 is used. It has a triangular wing and is equipped with a nuclear warhead. The drone is usually launched from trucks and crashes towards its target at high speed.
