In the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Ukrainian forces have resorted to using drones to counter Russian radio-jammers deployed to disrupt their drone operations. These drone raids on the Russian Silok counter-drone systems add to the growing list of ironic operations conducted by Ukrainian forces.

The most recent incident involved a Mavic quadcopter from Ukraine's Aerobomber unit, armed with grenades, which successfully bombed a tripod-mounted Silok, apparently destroying it. This successful drone attack on the Russian radio-jammer is just one of many instances where Ukrainian forces have managed to thwart Russian electronic warfare efforts.

Notably, the Ukrainian military's 128th Mountain Assault Brigade captured a Silok set in September 2022, which provided valuable insights into its capabilities. It was revealed that while the Silok is designed to automatically detect and jam drones' radio links within a range of up to 2.5 miles, its effectiveness seems to be limited in the stress of actual combat.

Ukrainian forces have found ways to counter Russian jamming, potentially by frequently changing radio frequencies and frustrating the Silok's attempts to disrupt their drone operations. Another possibility is that the Silok lacks the necessary sensitivity to detect drones and the power to effectively jam them. It seems that in practical combat scenarios, the Silok falls short of expectations.

It is worth noting that Ukrainian intelligence has had access to an intact Silok ever since the capture of a copy by the 128th Brigade in late 2022. This access may have provided Ukrainian forces with valuable information on the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the Russian radio-jammers.

Russia had expanded its electronic warfare capabilities in February 2022, boasting what was considered the world's most fearsome electronic warfare force. However, the effectiveness of these systems in combat situations has been called into question, with Ukrainian artillery successfully blasting a Russian counter-artillery radar, and Ukrainian drones bombing Russian drone-jammers, among other examples.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to see both sides employing innovative tactics and strategies in their operations. The Ukrainian use of drones to counter Russian radio-jammers serves as a reminder that in modern warfare, technological advancements can quickly be turned against their initiators. As the conflict persists, it remains to be seen how both sides will adapt their approaches to gain the upper hand.
