Why are signal jammers not being used to take out drones in Ukraine?

Those filthy fucking kikes are killing our European brethren by the millions when THEY should be dying by the millions.

They need to give those fellows shotguns and teach them to shoot skeet.

yeah i was wondering about the shotguns too

Spread-spectrum frequency-hopping makes jammers just about useless.

It would be more effective to use sweeping DEWs.

Because wide spectrum signal jammers jam a wide spectrum of signals. Including allied comms and in some cases it can fuck with vehicles of war like tanks and helicopters.
You can't just cluster fuck the enemies airwaves and be unaffected by it.
Plus having signal jammers readily available for every unit across hundreds of miles of front line battle field doesn't really help with drones. They can still potentially send and receive information from the controller through various techniques and the high tech drones have their own guidance systems that jamming can't stop once they are locked on

You just thought you knew what the fuck you rambled about.
You confuse critical thought with fractured thought.
Your class 1 Stupid at best GenX

what are the various techniques?

They probably are being used. A military drone that's basically a bomb, like those ones that Russia I think purchased from Iran doesn't need a link to complete its mission. A signal jammer would be dedicated to a specific frequency band, but you can operate a drone on a lot of different frequencies. Satellites work, too, depending on how sophisticated the drone is. Your jammer is going to have a very limited range. If a drone is not programmed to detonate, when it loses the link it probably starts heading to a prespecified point until it gets a signal back.

Even if you have a working, local jammer, that's something that every unit would have to be carrying to be protected along with a battery to power the thing. The drones that you're looking to disrupt are presumably the hunter ones that drop a grenade when a switch is pressed, cuz like I said if you were stationary they'd send something preprogrammed to target you.

For lulz, most likely.

ECM is being used to disable them. There’s just not enough of that hardware to cover the battlefield.

Drones are killing White men, why would (((they))) want to shut it down.

Do practical things to fight back, instead of posting doomsday doom and gloom stuff.

You asked "Why are signal jammers not being used..." and I answered it.

Signal Jammers have limited range.
See: inverse square law.

you're so smart. I suppose you think the jammer has to cover the whole country or it's worthless. when in fact, it only needs to cover a small range to cause the drone to veer off course and not be able to detonate close to the target. they're using cages that are not even a foot away from the tank to block ROCKETS, let alone a signal jammer that spans city blocks.

you're a bad problem solver and probably a pseudo intellectual; "inverse square law"? and that mic drop air to your comment cinches it.

[ - ] ItsOk2bArian 1 point 2 monthsMar 8, 2024 19:06:06 ago (+1/-0)

The cages don't block the rocket dumbass, it causes it to explode before making contact with the armor greatly reducing its armor piercing capabilities as some RPG's are designed to squirt molten copper through the armor plating.
Also a mobile backpack mounted battery powered jammer is fucking huge and only has a range of a few hundred yards. You would need a soldier dedicated to just hauling that damn thing around with very limited results

Drones are mobile.
You have to have knowledge beforehand to strategically place a jammer in an area where it will counter a drone.
If you have that knowledge, you might as well just shoot down the drone.

Otherwise, yes, you would have to cover the whole defensive area in jammers.

ive seen niggers in south africa carrying backpack jammers en route to white farms.

[ - ] Master_Foo 0 points 2 monthsMar 8, 2024 23:18:09 ago (+0/-0)

No, you saw Niggers cobble together a bunch of random wires and antennas and batteries because they know White people armies are high tech, but they don't actually know what high tech is.
All they know is it involves wires and antennas and batteries and sheeeeeiiiiit.

why are you not doing something other than bitching?
