Recently, there has been a new shift in the strategic layout of the Russian army on the battlefield. In order to deal with the frequent use of drones by the Ukrainian army, they deployed an anti-drone gun called an "electric soldering iron". The role of this new weapon system in modern warfare is becoming more and more prominent, especially in the context of drones gradually becoming a regular equipment on the battlefield.
The "electric soldering iron" anti-drone gun, this system can effectively block the operation signal of the enemy drone, force it to land, so that the enemy army loses control of the drone. It is characterized by the flexibility of deployment, which can be installed both permanently and for mobile reconnaissance activities. Essentially a directional antenna that operates on multiple frequencies to block drone control, video transmission, and satellite navigation signals. This anti-drone gun is usually battery-powered, which facilitates rapid deployment and is equipped with a sight, which makes it possible to aim accurately at the target. The light weight of such a system makes it easy to carry and operate by individual soldiers. According to reports, in initial use, the "electric soldering iron" has successfully suppressed a number of quadcopter UAVs.
The Russian army has also deployed a new system called "Sania", which is specifically aimed at FPV (first-person view) drones. Such a system provides additional protection for Russian tanks and armored vehicles by detecting and suppressing drones from all directions through an all-round space scanning device.

On the other hand, Russia has also developed drone countermeasures of the Harpy family. These products are capable of jamming the communication and control signals of UAVs, effectively preventing UAVs from reconnaissance and attacks on Russian military units. Among them, the "Harpy Pro 120W" is a portable device capable of electronic countermeasures with UAVs at a range of up to 2 km.

The deployment and use of these systems has significantly increased the capabilities of the Russian military in the field of electronic warfare, especially in countering the growing threat of drones. Although these measures of the Russian army have changed the situation on the battlefield to a certain extent, they have also triggered people's deep thinking about the changes in the form of modern warfare. The confrontation of UAVs and anti-UAV technology has become an important part of contemporary warfare.
Dear netizens, what do you think of these new anti-drone systems deployed by the Russian army? Do you think these systems can effectively change the balance of power on the battlefield? Welcome to share your views and thoughts in the comment area. Let's explore the impact of these emerging technologies in modern warfare.
