Invisible to the enemy's "eyes": How the AFU survive and prevail under a swarm of Russian drones - UATV English



Today, the battlefield is a constant competition with the enemy's “eyes,” where drones have become the main threat. However, Ukrainian defenders prove every day that it is possible to survive in such a “saturated” sky thanks to ingenuity and iron discipline. In this episode: real secrets of survival and effective countermeasures against Russian drones: from analyzing dangerous Russian fiber optic drones that cannot be jammed with traditional electronic warfare to simple but vital habits – maintaining silence, camouflaging debris, and using camouflage nets to blur silhouettes. You will learn why deep underground shelters remain the best protection, how the weather becomes an ally of the infantry, how Ukrainian electronic warfare systems, such as Bukovel, keep a dome over positions, and even how fighters manually cut the “umbilical cord” of drones, adapting to new challenges. This experience is so unique that NATO countries are already actively adopting Ukrainian methods, changing global military doctrines based on how Ukrainian ingenuity is becoming a reliable shield against the technological terror of the occupiers.
