    Russia has deployed a new anti-drone robot named after Disney’s rubbish-collecting Wall-E.

    The unmanned vehicle is designed to produce an invisible dome that jams aerial drone attacks and protects troops on the ground.

    The machine uses electronic warfare blockers, Russian state TV said, in the latest advancement to keep away kamikaze drones that have been pivotal to [the war for Ukraine](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/russia-ukraine-war/).

    The ground robot is fitted with a so-called “fumigator” electronic warfare system, which can [disrupt the signal](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/14/grant-shapps-gps-jammed-aircraft-trip-poland-troops/) between a drone and its operator, often rendering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) useless.

    Its manufacturer, Rebovets, said the system is capable of producing a dome with a radius of between 250 and 300 metres within which enemy drones will fail.

    The Telegraph could not verify the claims made by the firm.

  2. The ruzz still haven’t discovered that the best anti-drone defense is to stay within their own borders.

  3. It reminds me of the German Wonderwaffen. I wonder if it will be functional and if the Russians could produce it on such a scale that it would even become an asset to them.

  4. Fighting NATO was bad enough, but Disney’s copyright lawyers!? He’s really fucked now

  5. Sooo you just need to triangulate for their signals to know where to drop shells?

  6. How many of these have they “deployed” as if its the usual Russian bs they may have one or two?

    Also how tf are they going to stop a missile from 200-300m as its not enough to interfere with GPS let alone INS guidanceat such a short range and is just more Russian copium

  7. They pretend to hate Western culture but they surely embrace it a lot.

  8. It’s invisible because it doesn’t exist and just more grifting to squeeze a few more millions of rubbles before Russian economy collapses.

  9. Why they use a missile in there picture?

    There will be kamikaze drones with ai soon. Nothing will stop them

  10. Looks like something that is still going to be vulnerable to small arms fire. I mean the antennas cannot both be protected from bullets and project radio waves. So I imagine they can only get so close to the frontlines. Gotta stay out of range of riflemen and mortars. And does it control it’s self or is it controlled remotely?

  11. Im sorry. Did they name it Wall-E? Isnt this whole war really about fighting against the West’s apparant culture domination?

  12. Ordered: 1000 drones.

    Delivered: 4 yachts, 2 villas, 5 drones.

  13. How is this in anyway different previous failed attempts?

  14. Another ‘wonderful’ invention. Like the turtle tanks, the drone net guns and many things in Russia these days, good for propaganda , no real value

  15. Reminds me of a Swedish joke on a russian ass buzzer. It does not buzz, fit into ass, is not russian or have any sensible use.

  16. Should call it Goofy “Hyuck.. Dan it that one gone through… Hyuck.. whoopsy Ivan got hit by thart one!”

  17. Waiting for FPV drones with a small srb as terminal stage. Just ignite the rocket motor when the signal gets distorted and ram into it.

  18. So… fly att 350 m. Drop the bomb from there.

  19. What a nice little “here we are, please artillery strike us” advertisement.

  20. Are you sure it isn’t a Warner Bros character? I was thinking Daffy duck when he gets a beak full of buckshot from Elmer Fudd.

  21. Gigantic electric jammers are a relatively simple solution. The reason this relatively simple solution isn’t pursued much is because gigantic electric jammers quickly become the easiest and electronically noisiest target on the battlefield. In reality they’ll probably actually build three or four prototypes, none of which work, while telling their troops and their families back home how much they’re looking out for their safety.

  22. Disney starts deploying death squads dressed as classic characters.

  23. I don’t see any problem. Just make a drone that homes in on the strongest radio signal.

  24. disney animatronic warfare with AI was not on my bingo card.

  25. If may be ‘anti- drone’ but presumably not ‘anti-cluster munition’ ?

  26. Float a recon drone from safe distance, call in artillery to destroy the vehicle and then do your usual thing with drones.

    Well, I don’t know the maximum altitude DJI drones can reach, but if it’s more than 300m, things will be even easier.
