RUTASS (EN)Russia’s Radon-O system effective against frequency hopping UAVs — Rostec

Russia's Radon-O electronic warfare system has proven effective against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that use frequency hopping to avoid detection. This capability enhances Russia's ability to disrupt advanced drone operations, which are increasingly used in military and surveillance roles. The system's success could influence electronic warfare tactics and UAV countermeasures globally.
