This would be a jammer and you would likely get arrested for using it.
>return when they lose connection
This is very easy to program even if they lose GPS. They just need to move away based in previous data until they get a connection again.
It may give a chance for the troops to shoot the drone while it decides what to do, though
Yeah it's like, when you have a WiFi controlled flying device "what do when connection cuts" is literally one of the first things you deal with as a designer, considering the amount of public property damage that could occur when it just crashes which your company could be held liable for.
So even commercial drones will have some sort of emergency response.
Drones by the company Skycatch for example will still attempt to execute the preprogrammed flight path (if they received one) and then return to sender. Or straight up return to sender, depends on battery charge. No GPS? You can still use accelerometers and gyroscopes to map out the path you flew to get where you currently are. It can use a log of it's flight commands to compute a rough estimate to fly back home.
So no, EW doesn't suddenly destroy drones, it just makes them abort their current mission at most. Unless your EW beam is SO strong it literally cooks the drone's internals or allows you to magically take over them and control them (which would mean your signal beam needs to be configured for whatever specific drone model and codebase you are dealing with)
I wonder about drones used as repeaters to control others, and tight beam IR control systems to avoid jamming.
We're going to see a very interesting and frightening drone arms race.
does anyone know the battery life on those things? do they have to run gennys to charge them or is there still power in some areas of the front? anyway yeah drone jamming tik sure is getting a good field testing on both sides.
From what I can gather, drone operators get a new batch of full batteries every morning/afternoon when the ammunition truck visits the local trench HQ. If you’re operating from a mid-sized town then power outlets might work as well
those are hedge clippers
That is cyberpunk as frick.
I need the plans for one. For research purposes.

what am I looking at?
It was only a matter of time for them to figure out how to jam a drone.
Also some drones have auto return when they lose connection so they do get them back.

At which point it would probably cook the user too. Not that the slavBlack folk care about that.

>airsoft red dot
This kills the russian infantry
Scale model.
Those are Lego infantry. Real infantry would overwhelm tank with courage.
You left out the part where the moronic vatniks threw a fricking frag grenade at the tank lmao
And what would you do?
>vatnik takes down drone
>drone drops down
>vatnik goes to inspect it, by poking it around
>drone detonates
many such cases
Your right, it does kill drones. Luckily drones are extremely cheap and expendable
Did one of these things actually work for once?
Probably not. Drones can be programmed to return home if they lose signal.
These also block GPS iirc, so unless it has INS good luck.
>These also block GPS iirc
I think you just made that up to cope.
GPS is a weak signal that is incredibly easy to spoof and overwhelm against non directed receivers.
There is no cope, only your own ignorance.

>Russians would rather use DIY Drone jammers then the one provided by the Russian MIC
The absolute state of this army is unimaginable
Wheres the killed drone?
It's more likely to find a ditch filled with mobniks, than any of these toys
Russian inability to jam publicly known 2.4 and 5 GHz channels continues to confuse me, maybe the CO doesn't want to lose wi-fi?
Very cool. In the OP pic I thought it was a normal gun.
