Defender compiles this selection at the request of Ukrainian defence tech market players who want to stay informed and prepare for emerging technological threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest news of the week was the launch of a Russian FPV drone from a distance of a thousand kilometers. Using the \u201cOrbit\u201d system, an operator in Moscow controlled a drone that carried out a mission in Chasiv Yar, Donetsk oblast. More details about this and other military innovations of the enemy \u2013 in Black Mirror #3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Repeater drone Peresmeshnik<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian occupiers have begun delivering Peresmeshnik repeater drones to the front line, which allow them to increase the combat range of a strike or reconnaissance drone, as well as better conceal the positions of operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1060\" height=\"752\" src=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/peresmeshnyk-edited.webp\" alt=\"\u0420\u043e\u0441\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0434\u0440\u043e\u043d-\u0440\u0435\u0442\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0441\u043b\u044f\u0442\u043e\u0440 \u00ab\u041f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0441\u043c\u0435\u0448\u043d\u0438\u043a\u00bb\" class=\"wp-image-2456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/peresmeshnyk-edited.webp 1060w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/peresmeshnyk-edited-300x213.webp 300w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/peresmeshnyk-edited-1024x726.webp 1024w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/peresmeshnyk-edited-768x545.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1060px) 100vw, 1060px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00ab<em>Peresmeshnik, from the manufacturer&#8217;s website<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian Telegram channels report that Peresmeshnik hovers at an altitude of 100-150 m and can amplify the signal to a distance of more than 5 km in the city and more than 10 km in open terrain for 40 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>A program that recognizes radio signal sources<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian Technological University has developed a program that determines the direction of radio signal sources, even if they are behind obstacles. Such a development can be used in monitoring the radio spectrum, in particular in a combat zone. With the help of the program, you can determine the exact location of objects, increase the stability of GPS and GLONASS signals in navigation systems, as well as detect unauthorized transmissions in the radio spectrum. The development uses the Kalman filter \u2013 a powerful mathematical tool that allows you to reduce the impact of noise and interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gruzovik instead of Muravey<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian robotics manufacturer \u201cLaboratory of the Future\u201d has developed a new cargo drone Gruzovik M500.
