An expert from Russia's Simbirsk Design Bureau recently announced to Russian media that they have successfully developed a communication system that is immune to electronic warfare tools. This system, characterized by its rapid frequency range switching, ensures its resilience against potential disruptions.

"We have developed a one-of-a-kind product - a multi-band communication system that enables UAV operators to seamlessly switch between three frequency bands mid-flight, catering to their specific needs. This means that our device remains impervious to electronic warfare disruptions; in the event of jamming, the operator can simply adjust the frequency of the signal or switch to a different band, allowing them to continue their mission without any interruption," he said.

"That said, the system operates at non-standard frequencies, providing an even greater advantage over the enemy," the expert added.

The Simbirsk Design Bureau manufactures two models of unmanned aerial vehicles, the Piranha-7 and Piranha-10. The Piranha-7 has a payload capacity of 2.5 kilograms, while the two drones vary in frame size and engine specifications. The Piranha-10 is equipped with more robust motors and wider propellers. The approximate cost of the Piranha-10 drone is 50,000 rubles ($550).
The Piranha-10 FPV drone, which was used to hit a US-made Abrams tank that had been handed over to Kiev, is capable of carrying a payload of up to 4.5 kilograms, the head of public relations of the Simbirsk Design Bureau, which developed the unmanned aerial vehicle, told Russian media.
