Ukrainian company Ukrspetsconsalting has delivered its directional electronic warfare station Veres-2 to several brigades of Ukraine’s Defense Forces, Defense Express reported. 

The system targets commercial drones carrying explosive payloads, specifically Mavik and Autel UAVs used by enemy forces. One brigade confirmed the system’s operational deployment.

“This complex is an effective means of countering UAVs of the Mavik and Autel type that carry combat charges. The capabilities of ‘Veres-2’ exceed the indicators of other available directional action means with the same operating frequency ranges,” according to the report.

The electronic warfare station disrupts Russian drone missions at distances ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 meters, according to military units using the equipment. Defense Forces currently deploy Veres-2 on the Zaporizhzhia and Pokrovsk directions.

Ukrspetsconsalting developed the 20-kilogram system using proprietary software and internally manufactured modules. The compact design allows for battlefield mobility while maintaining jamming effectiveness across multiple frequency ranges.

Veres-2 operates across five frequency bands: 1160-1280 MHz, 1560-1630 MHz, 2400-2500 MHz, 5160-5280 MHz, and 5725-5850 MHz. This coverage disrupts radio navigation systems including GPS, Galileo, Glonass, and BeiDou satellites that guide drone operations.

The system blocks control channels and video feeds on 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequencies commonly used by commercial drones. However, low-frequency FPV drones operating below 1160 Hz remain outside the system’s jamming capabilities.

Remote control features allow operators to select frequency ranges, adjust power output, modify signal polarization, and activate the device from a distance. The built-in battery provides 60 minutes of operation, while continuous power supply enables indefinite use when connected to electrical networks.

The deployment comes as Ukraine’s military receives additional electronic warfare capabilities. Intellias previously committed to providing “Khartia” with five electronic reconnaissance complexes worth 2 million hryvnias for identifying enemy positions through radio-electronic surveillance.
