Questionable....in this article the reader needs to be aware of where the source is speaking from : "Andrei Nikitin, governor of the Novgorod region of Russia" who are also in a war of disinformation.

And the operative words being used are that they "claim" in : "that they claim makes "electronic warfare systems powerless". "

And "almost indetectable" does not make these fibre optic drones 100% fool proof.

How else is Droneshield effective to what laser and emp can offer against russian fibre-optic drones and for surveillance and reconnaisance?

DroneShield offers several advantages compared to laser and EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) systems, especially when dealing with advanced threats like Russian fiber-optic drones and in surveillance and reconnaissance roles.

Against Russian Fiber-Optic Drones

1. Jamming Resistance: Russian fiber-optic drones are designed to be immune to traditional radio jamming techniques.
DroneShield’s systems, such as the DroneGun Mk4, can disrupt the control signals of many drones, but fiber-optic drones present a unique challenge. However, DroneShield’s multi-sensor approach, combining RF detection with other methods, can still be effective in detecting and tracking these drones.
2. Cost and Portability: Laser systems can be expensive and require significant power and cooling infrastructure. EMP systems, while effective, can also be costly and may have collateral damage to nearby electronics. DroneShield’s solutions are generally more cost-effective and portable, making them suitable for a wide range of operational environments

Surveillance and Reconnaissance

1. Real-Time Situational Awareness: DroneShield’s systems provide real-time situational awareness, which is crucial for surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Their technology can detect, track, and identify drones, providing valuable intelligence on enemy movements and activities

2. Integration with Existing Systems: DroneShield’s technology can seamlessly integrate with other surveillance and reconnaissance systems, enhancing overall situational awareness and operational effectiveness

3. Ease of Use: DroneShield’s products are designed to be user-friendly, allowing operators to quickly deploy and operate them in the field. This ease of use is particularly important in dynamic and high-stress environments

Comparison with Laser and EMP Systems

• Laser Systems: Effective at destroying drones but require direct line-of-sight and can be affected by weather conditions. They are also more expensive and less portable.

• EMP Systems: Can disable drones by disrupting their electronics but may also affect friendly electronics and require careful deployment to avoid collateral damage.

DroneShield’s approach, combining RF detection, jamming, and other countermeasures, provides a versatile and effective solution for countering a wide range of drone threats, including advanced fiber-optic drones
