    They think that among many Russian EW systems the truck-mounted Shipovnic-Aero (pictured) is proving especially deadly to Ukrainian drones. The system has a 10km range and can take over control of the drone, while acquiring the co-ordinates of the place from where it is being piloted, with an accuracy of one metre, for transmission to an artillery battery.

    lol damn that’s pretty impressive

      Makes me realise that we’ve never really seen peer to peer drone warfare before. They’ve only been used by the US and allies to bomb people who can’t fight back. I wonder how useful a weapon they’ll be in conflicts where the other side can actually do something about them?
