A groundbreaking electronic warfare backpack, developed by the 🇺🇦Ukrainian company Kvertus, shields Ukrainian soldiers from Russian drones at a cost of just $7,000. Operating in the 720-1050 MHz range, it jams and disables threatening UAVs.
Rather than individual use, the backpack protects small units of 8-10 soldiers on the move. One operator activates the system’s protective dome spanning several hundred meters upon detecting a Russian drone. The rechargeable battery allows 2 hours of continuous electronic jamming.
Designed for maximum portability, the system fits inside a standard backpack worn on the operator’s back. Only low-profile antennas protrude, avoiding obstruction during maneuvers. Built-in ventilation prevents overheating that could degrade performance.

Like i’ve said, it’s arms race all over again. First it was drones, now there is counter available. Next there will be counter to this and it’s for sure they are already planning for that.
Good to see Ukraine on the forefront in this!
So you cant carry food/water a weapon or ammo? You are the drone.
Problem is that by the time these would get implemented at scale there probably is already a counter to them.
