To add salt into the wound it would appear Ukraine is on the front foot just south of Bakhmut pushing towards Odradivka.

Seems to be tacticool for an antidrone infantry

What could possibly go wrong from wearing likely extreme frequency equipment at close range for extended periods? (not to mention you just become a beacon for a missile with the emissions)

Thats a monstrosity! This makes carrying ECM Blue look light. If it works though I guess its not stupid. Wouldnt want to be the lad carrying that though, prime target No1 for Ukr Snipers.
We did it repeatedly for extended periods of time in Afghanistan. I'd like to say it didnt effect me. Well at least it didnt fry my swimmers...

With high frequency jammers? Didn't know we did that. Good info.

Can you not coat the wearer in tin foil to reflect the deadly 5g rays ?

I cant go into any specific detail, its been a while but the specifics are probably still technically secret. But yes all foot patrols, and vehicles had ECM covering multiple freq/bandwidths to combat remote IED's. Drones wernt a threat there but the principle is the same. This isnt new tech and it can be VERY effective, I will caveat that with "if its done right" something I dont have any faith Russia is capable of.

I'm not sure range is as much an issue as battery life on those things
Soldato
For a static object yeah probably unless the drone has some sort of auto loss of command system, where it goes into hover/orbit/return to home mode etc I'm not sure what the systems they are using, or how they would be effected.
For a moving object like a patrol, could be the difference between minor injuries/major injuries/death. regardless if its in a terminal phase or not.
I think this would be the huge limiting factor for usefulness, especially in the trenches/forward reaches of the front line. its not like they are working out of FOB's/CP's with free access to charging facilities. I suspect even if this stuff is fielded it will be to elite units or even just used in static positions to cover high ranking officers etc.

I don't think it's so bad for static positions like trenches, you could use larger batteries and have some on rotation with solar recharging, the issue is for infantry they can only carry so much before they're ineffective
Do we have 20k troops to spare ?

The French gendarmerie would like to speak to two tourists who may have information regarding this incident.
Marina Ovsyannikova: Russian TV journalist known for on-air Ukraine war protest falls ill after suspected poisoning
Marina Ovsyannikova gained international attention last March after bursting into a studio of Russian state TV, her then employer, to denounce the war in Ukraine. She later said she had no regrets about her actions.news.sky.com

seriously? But yeah easily. Assuming thats going to be tri service. Although thats still a lot of people. I do wonder how many are deployed currently over the Eastern European border countries. Will likely equate to what is effectively going to be a Div at least, 1/5-1/4 of our actual deployable forces. Yes, as an armed forces we are very busy and more and more increasingly so. Yeah we have a lot of operational commitments, though the actual deployed numbers isnt massive. The turn over does tend to involve the same rotations of people over and over. When we say we are always busy, from my experience a lot of our commitments are for the most part training. That dosnt take away from the fact we seem to be busier now with less people than any time in the last 20 years at least
Shame, I'd love to get involved, but my current role dosnt really leave much opportunity for these kind of deployments.

No. They were known as novichok lads.

With winter about to start setting in, at least it might keep the wearer warm until he get’s Jackson Pollock’d by artillery.
Man of Honour
Are there any of the original generals left that haven't fallen out of a window though?
Caporegime
This is an interesting point. I wonder whether drones will start to be programmed to home in on disruptive signals?
Shame it’s about 300,000 troops, 5000 tanks and 7000 artillery guns late.
