Russian 'Yastreb 1.0' EW system claims silent scanning and frequency-hopping jamming

Bottom line

Russian Zvezda reports that the 'Yastreb 1.0' EW system uses silent scanning to detect and jam drones changing frequencies, with claims of intercepting video feeds and operating at tens of km.

Why it matters

If effective, the 'Yastreb 1.0' system could significantly degrade Ukrainian drone operations, particularly those relying on frequency-hopping to avoid jamming, forcing Ukraine to adopt more sophisticated anti-jamming techniques.

Russian state media Zvezda reports on the ‘Yastreb 1.0’ electronic warfare system, which claims to use silent scanning to detect and jam drones that change frequencies. The system is said to be able to intercept video feeds and operate at distances of tens of kilometers with different antennas. This suggests an advanced Russian EW capability designed to counter frequency-hopping drones.
