A Ukrainian firm now rents out drone jammers by the day—but the deposit is the device’s full price
The daily fee comes off a deposit worth the whole device—rent long enough and the jammer becomes yours.
Ukrainian defense-tech firm BlueBird Tech has launched a daily rental service for its electronic-warfare jammers, marking the nation's inaugural such offering, as reported on September 29th, 2026. Normally, these jamming devices are purchased outright; however, renting permits users to utilize the system for a single mission or to test it before making a commitment.
The appeal lies in the current conflict, where cheap, first-person-view (FPV) drones have made portable jamming a frequent necessity, often temporary in nature.
The rental process commences with paperwork and a deposit equivalent to the device's full price, after which the system is handed over, counting as day one. Subsequent daily rental fees are then deducted from the deposit, and upon returning the operating and undamaged device, the renter receives the remaining balance. The agreement permits rentals to individuals, companies, charities, and volunteer groups.
BlueBird Tech offers three models, each tailored to target different drone types. The Hrets XL is a modular FPV jammer composed of two to ten working modules, priced on a case-by-case basis. The vehicle-mounted Hrets 4MC serves as an anti-drop system, specifically designed to jam DJI Mavic-type quadcopters—the drones frequently used by Russian forces for munition drops—costing approximately $56 per day.
Meanwhile, the lightweight Hrets 4M is capable of jamming FPV drones within a range of 70 to 400 meters, priced at around $67 daily.
One Ukrainian firm has even managed to integrate detection, decoding, and jamming capabilities into a single device.
