Unique Russian "Volnorez" EW System Advantages for T-90M Tank Revealed

Drones lose connection with the operator 250 m before the combat vehicle

Russian T-90M "Proryv-3" main battle tanks are protected from enemy kamikaze drone attacks by the "Volnorez" electronic warfare (EW) system. Military analyst Evgeny Damantsev spoke about the advantages of the system.

The complex operates in the frequency range from 0.9 to 3 GHz. It is capable of suppressing telemetry communication channels and video image transmission from optoelectronic drone devices to the operator's combat control points (CCP).

Complete loss of synchronization between enemy copters and the CCP usually occurs at a distance of 50-250 m from the target. In most cases, this excludes the operator's choice of the most vulnerable armor sector of the tanks for striking with a cumulative warhead of a PG-7VL rocket-propelled grenade.
