Technology and market of jammers

　　Last year, at the Moscow military exhibition, an electronic protection system called "Breakwater" (Volnorez) made its debut. GPS jammerThe device is about the size of a dinner plate and weighs about 28 pounds. It can be attached to a tank or other military vehicle through magnets, providing 360-degree stealth protection, and the interference range is claimed to be 600 to 1,000 meters. drone jammer However, in actual use, many soldiers found that its performance was far from expectations.Wifi jammer

　　The device costs up to 350,000 rubles (about $3,800), which is undoubtedly a huge expense for many frontline soldiers. Although the market is well-supplied and even charities have purchased these devices for soldiers, soldiers are skeptical about their effectiveness.GSM jammer

　　User feedback and quality issues

　　Famous military blogger "Romanov Wright" expressed his dissatisfaction with "Breakwater" in his Telegram channel. He pointed out that the production quality of the device is worrying and lacks strict quality control. In his post, he mentioned that the shoddy construction and components found after disassembling the device were disappointing.

　　He pointed out that the antenna design of this jammer has serious flaws, resulting in its interference effect not being as ideal as advertised. In addition, the heat dissipation problem of the device also greatly reduced its reliability on the battlefield. Romanov said that "Breakwater" is prone to overheating in high temperature environments, resulting in frequent failures, which is a major safety hazard for soldiers in harsh combat conditions.

　　Deeper problems

　　The problem is not only the quality and price of the jammer, but also the defects of the design itself. The antenna layout of the "Breakwater" was accused of lacking effective coverage, which could cause drones to easily bypass interference under attacks at specific angles. Moreover, the unreasonable heat dissipation design of the equipment led to frequent overheating and failures in actual use, increasing the risk to soldiers.

　　Although drone jammers are in strong demand in the Russian market, the lack of quality and performance has made soldiers disappointed with the equipment. In a highly corrupt and inefficient procurement system, the safety of soldiers' lives seems to have become an innocent victim. In the future, only through technological innovation and strict quality control can soldiers be provided with truly effective protection.
