Russia creates electronic warfare system that "jams" drones on two levels

"Vika" and "Yarilo-M2" complexes affect navigation and control channels of UAVs

At the Securika Moscow exhibition, the Voronezh concern "Sozvezdie" (part of Rostec) for the first time presented two electronic warfare systems — "Vika" and "Yarilo-M2". Both solutions are aimed at suppressing drones, but operate on different principles.

The "Vika" complex suppresses satellite navigation signals — GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. As a result, the drone loses its coordinate reference and cannot accurately reach its target.

The system operates in two modes: external targeting or automatic. In the second case, it independently detects the drone's radio channels and initiates suppression.

Unlike "Vika", the "Yarilo-M2" complex affects not navigation, but the FPV drone's control channel itself. It creates interference in the operating frequencies, breaking the connection between the operator and the device.

The system can be activated manually or automatically — by a signal from external detectors. The design is modular, allowing it to be installed on both vehicles and stationary objects.
