Since Russia launched its military operation against Ukraine, the United States and NATO have provided the most practical and troublesome system for Russia in equipment support, which is to use drones to drop bombs to attack Russian armored vehicles, as well as drones to kill Russian soldiers on the ground, resulting in psychological anxiety on the battlefield for Russian soldiers. As the problem of significant human and material damage caused by direct airdrops of drones on the territory of Ukraine becomes increasingly prominent, the Triton complex, which protects against drone attacks, has been developed and is being tested to effectively defend against this problem.
Russia is said to have been conducting drone defense research and related tests since before the start of its military operation against Ukraine on October 23, 2018.
A personal portable signal suppressor for drone defense, which has been tested by the US Special Forces ODA and the Russian Alpha Special Forces, and it is speculated that the Eastern powers and Russia are sharing information with each other on this military technology aspect.
The U.S. military's green beret carries an exposed portable drone defense signal suppressor on its back during training (according to reports, this portable drone defense signal suppressor is currently in service in Ukraine.) ）
The Russian portable REB system is being tested by the Russian army on the battlefield in Ukraine (using the UAV Defense Signal Suppressor of the Triton complex developed by the PPSH laboratory).
Images released on August 16, 2023 show that the Triton protection system is installed on the T-72B3M tank.
According to reports, the Triton electronic defense system for FPV drones was produced at the PPSH research institute, and the system was developed to counter the destruction of a large number of Russian tanks and armored vehicles by drones of the Ukrainian army and mercenaries during the war in Ukraine.
At the Army-2023 forum, a product sample of the T-72B3M tank was presented at the exhibition of armored vehicles of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
The description of Triton at the stand reads: "This product is designed to suppress the control and data transmission channels of FPV UAVs. ”
The Triton complex operates in four frequency ranges and 2400 MHz, the Triton can also be controlled remotely via a remote control, and it is said that it is designed to be powered autonomously by the on-board network of batteries and tanks.
Installation location of the Triton C-UAESW system developed by the PPSH Research Institute in Russia.
According to the developer, the product is designed to suppress UAV control and data FPV channels in the MHZ (4 suppression ranges) range and can be installed on mobile devices.
To sum up, in the future, UAVs will be widely used on the battlefield, and their cheap cost brings high returns to the strike effect in actual combat, which has been favored by most countries, and at the same time, the defense will also keep up with the pace of technology and continue to improve and develop.
