Ukrainian forces continue to develop drone technology, taking new steps in their use to attack detection systems. Previously, the Ukrainian Armed Forces actively used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for targeting based on drone control signals, but now the Ukrainian side is trying to introduce a new method - attacks on active drone detectors. This approach raises questions about the safety of using such systems in combat situations.
The technology, which relies on detecting and tracking signals from drones and their control systems, has been used by both sides since the beginning of the conflict. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have begun to adapt their methods, targeting not only the drones themselves and their operating bases, but also the devices that detect their presence.
The situation is most acute for active detection systems that emit a signal.
