Ukraine’s Lasar’s Group says its bomber drones destroyed rare Russian Zhitel jammer 55 km behind front
The R-330Zh Zhitel jams GPS, satellite and cellular signals at once.
A Ukrainian National Guard unit announced it had destroyed a rare Russian Zhitel jamming station, located 55 kilometers behind the front lines. The drone attack was carried out entirely by Lasar's Group, utilizing their own intelligence and aerial reconnaissance crews to pinpoint the enemy target. The Zhitel, mounted on a KamAZ truck, is capable of detecting and jamming GPS, satellite, and cellular signals.
It had been utilized by Russian forces to hinder Ukrainian reconnaissance drones in the Sievierodonetsk area. The successful strike not only eliminates a significant piece of Russian electronic warfare infrastructure but also restores freedom of movement for Ukrainian drones and restores GPS-dependent navigation and weapons in the area.
