“You see, Ivan, you leave behind technical documents so hit enemy while distracted studying drones.”

And now they can counter it yes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably not. They're just dumping energy into the electromagnetic spectrum, it's not something you can counter really. The only thing you can do is change the frequency band you use to move away from where they're dumping, which in many cases might not even be possible (the frequency band determines range, bandwidth, etc.)

Here's something I don't understand: Why don't they just make the drone target the jammer when it's jammed? That's pretty much the only signal that's clear as day in these conditions, and when it's done, there's one less jammer…

RF waves go faster and further than drones. Drones don't have the range to target the jammer.

Drones is plural. Even if most don't reach the emitter all you need is one.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The emitter is 10 miles away and your drones each have a range of 5 miles. How many drones do you need to launch for one of them to miraculously double it's operating range in order to fly the 10 miles? I think I missed this lesson in algebra.

Your drones, but what about the guy farther down the line who might be closer or have longer range drones.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The guy farther down the line got shot by a DShK because he forgot the reason drones are so effective is that the controller is out of range of other weapon systems.
