Ukrainian border unit’s HIMERA B1 relay took 10 strikes from Russia’s FPV drones and guided bombs. Last one leveled building and tower, and relay kept working
Border guards dug the HIMERA B1 out of the rubble because it was still transmitting.
On the most heavily jammed battlefield in Ukraine, a Ukrainian-made radio relay named HIMERA B1 managed to survive 10 strikes from FPV drones and guided bombs. The device, used by border guards on a telecom tower in Kharkiv Oblast, continued transmitting even as the building collapsed around it, burying the relay under debris. Despite being destroyed and partially collapsed, the HIMERA B1 maintained its communications link and kept working.
The manufacturer, HIMERA, stated that the device's ability to outlast direct hits and a collapsed building is a significant advantage in such challenging environments.
