Russian Military Conducts Drone Tests in Sumy
The Russian army is reportedly transforming Sumy into a testing ground for the new drone, the Italmas, with plans to extend these tactics to other fronts, according to radio technology expert Serhii “Flash” Bekrestnov. 24brussels.
“The Russian drone Italmas has become a significant threat to Sumy. It is distinct from the KUB drone, with its propeller located at the front, as seen in the video evidence,” stated a military source.
According to the source, the Italmas transmits analog imagery, which could potentially be disrupted by electronic warfare systems aimed at jamming video signals in the 3.3 GHz range. “However, we are not currently implementing such measures. Should we be considering a comprehensive strategy to protect frontline cities? What are we waiting for? For our cities to be completely destroyed?” the expert expressed his concerns.
A few days ago, Russian forces launched a kamikaze drone attack on Sumy, with one of the drones hitting Independence Square. The drone strike resulted in damage to the Sumy Regional State Administration building.
