A new system for protecting facilities from Ukrainian drone attacks has been developed in Russia.

Russia has developed a drone navigation jamming system called "Vika," according to the press service of the Rostec state corporation. It is emphasized that it disrupts communication channels for systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, thereby protecting facilities and territories from UAV attacks.

"Vika" can operate both in manual mode, based on external target designation of a threat, and in automatic mode, thanks to a built-in drone radio channel detector.

– the developers explain.



They add that this allows jamming to be performed only when a threat is detected, which is particularly important for ensuring the security of urban infrastructure. The system provides all-round protection for a facility when several devices are combined into a cluster.

Six to eight devices are deployed so that each covers a 60-degree radio reconnaissance and jamming sector. Upon detecting a target, the system analyzes signal strength from various directions, determines the drone's location, and delivers targeted electronic countermeasures. This allows the UAV's navigation to be restricted without adversely affecting surrounding infrastructure.

– they say at Rostec.

It is emphasized that the cluster architecture, sectoral impact, and automation of operation make it possible to use Vika to protect industrial and military facilities.

As a reminder, Russia is currently experiencing a severe shortage of anti-drone defenses for industrial facilities and port infrastructure. These facilities have recently become regular targets for Ukrainian drones.

    I don't quite understand why we need to talk about developments, new weapons, and the like, both in the rear and on the front lines. It's clear that the enemy will eventually learn about this device, or it might not know for a very long time. Why is this information being posted in articles like this in our media? We're making things easier for enemy intelligence, telling them what to look for and where to look, while simultaneously making things more difficult for counterintelligence.

      There aren't any, that's why they're talking about it. There are reports, budget allocations. In reality, there's zero.

    It was 5. Tuapse was burning. We were reading brave reports. Where were the real deeds and achievements?

      In offices. It's like the time of Tsar Paul or Nicholas II. But the reality isn't so good. Air defense has been cut back dramatically since 2009. And there's no sign of anything being restored. Empty statements, windbags.

    The Vika navigation suppression system may or may not protect against drones.
    And from the debris?!
    Another "blow to the tails", which are growing faster and faster.
    When will we finally start hitting people "on the head", on the decision-making centers?!

    Quite a few useful items are being created for the front. There's not enough money for their mass production, and there's a fear of overheating, which means inflation.
