Russia's new anti-drone robot named Wall-E
Russia has deployed a new anti-drone robot named after Wall-E to protect troops on the ground by jamming aerial drone attacks. The robot uses electronic warfare blockers and can create a dome that disrupts the signal between a drone and its operator, rendering UAVs useless. Russia's use of electronic warfare has been an advantage in countering Ukraine's drones.
