NATO will send 'hundreds' of signal-jammers to Ukraine to counter Russia's onslaught of explosive Iranian-made suicide drones

NATO is sending Ukraine signal-jammers so it can counter deadly Iranian-made suicide drones that Russian forces have used to terrorize cities far from the front lines.

Speaking virtually at the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum on Tuesday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the military alliance will deliver "hundreds" of counter-drone jammers to Ukraine in the "coming days."

These systems will help Ukraine address the "specific threat of drones, including, of course, Iranian-made drones that are now causing a lot of havoc or suffering in Ukraine," Stoltenberg said during the virtual interview.

Stoltenberg initially remarked on the future delivery of drone jammers at a press conference in Brussels last week, where he said the systems can "help render ineffective Russian and Iranian-made drones ... and to protect Ukrainian people and critical infrastructure."

Held like a rifle. They don’t need a lot of training to use and are not expensive to manufacture. One aims in the general direction of a drone and the wide emission of radio frequency waves captures the drone and it falls out of the sky.
