What is the story of the Russian deceptive drones? British Defense reveals

On Monday, the British Ministry of Defense revealed the truth about Russian deceptive marches, noting that Moscow is increasingly using deceptive marches.
It was shown that it contains a limited amount of explosives or does not contain any explosives in an attempt to exhaust the Ukrainian air defense systems.

Russia’s marches on Ukraine

The ministry stated on the “X” website that during the period between September and November, between 50% and 60% of Russian marches were merely deceptive marches.
Decoy drones are smaller and cheaper than the ones that Russia uses extensively.
By publishing these deceptive drones, Russia aims to put pressure on the Ukrainian radar systems and confuse them, leading to the exhaustion of the country’s air defenses.

Deception systems in marches

The British Ministry continued, saying: “It is possible that some deception systems carry a small payload of explosives (up to 5 kilograms), which also makes them dangerous if they reach a target.”

In November alone, Russia launched a total of 2,300 drones against Ukraine, and the number has been growing dramatically every month since July.
The British Ministry of Defense has regularly published information about the progress of the war since the start of Russia’s war against Ukraine in February 2022, and Moscow accuses London of spreading misleading information.

A weapon to shoot down marches

Yesterday, Britain announced that soldiers in Britain had tested a new weapon that uses high-frequency radio waves to shoot down enemy drones.
She explained that this is designed with a radio frequency directed energy weapon to detect, track and destroy a group of threats, across land, air and sea at a distance of up to one kilometre.
Defense Procurement Minister Maria Eagle said that this weapon “could be a pivotal game changer,” noting that the war in Ukraine and attacks on ships in the Red Sea showed how low-cost marches could have devastating effects.
The advantage of this new weapon is that conventional weapons, such as anti-aircraft missiles, can cost many times the cost of the drones that are trying to shoot them down, while the price of launching a radio-frequency directed energy weapon does not exceed only 10 pennies.
