TAMPA, Fla. — Those in military circles describe it as a real-life version of whack-a-mole, played for the highest stakes.
U.S. strategists say Russia’s introduction of relatively cheap, plentiful Iranian-supplied drones sparked one crisis for Ukrainian defenders before they could adjust their defensive targeting strategies. The Kremlin was drawn into the drone war when, in a still-murky incident, two apparently Ukrainian-launched drones this month exploded on the doorstep of the Russian seat of power in the heart of Moscow. Kremlin officials said it was an assassination attempt on President Vladimir Putin.
“It is absolutely whack-a-mole, and we learned a lot going into Ukraine about the Russian jamming activities — jamming GPS all over the place, jamming [communications], links and so on, other techniques they use.
Before developing a plan to beat enemy drones, specialists say, it’s vital to determine what represents a threat and what doesn’t. The proliferation of small, cheap, commercially available drones is leading to increasingly crowded skies, meaning military personnel or domestic law enforcement could waste time locating and identifying a harmless craft piloted by a teenager with an iPhone.
One of the best ways to gain knowledge about a suspected threat is to analyze the physical drone. That’s often impossible in combat zones because enemy drones can be disabled far from the front lines or destroyed before reaching their destinations.
