Ukraine Races to Take Out Russia’s Best Drone Jammer Yet: the Black Eye
Russia’s new jammer can ground Ukraine’s drones. Can Ukrainian operators destroy them fast enough?
Ukrainian drone operators are now hunting the hunters. Across the front line of Russia’s war on Ukraine, a new electronic predator called the Black Eye is silently stalking the battlefield, threatening to neutralize what may be Ukraine’s most decisive advantage.
This isn’t just another piece of Russian hardware—it’s a technological countermove in a rapidly evolving electronic chess match. And it appears to be much better-made—and thus much more effective—than previous Russian jammers.
The Black Eye creates a dome of electronic silence that doesn’t just blind Ukrainian forces—it potentially disarms them.
