A Ukrainian drone was able to eliminate the Russian Silok-01 station, which is designed to fight against UAVs.

Here's What We Know

The UAV operators were fighters of the 13th Main Directorate of the Military Counterintelligence Department of the Security Service of Ukraine. The electronic warfare station was hidden in one of the destroyed houses in Donetsk region. After finding Silok-01, Ukrainian counterintelligence officers dropped several 40 mm M430A1 grenades on it.

The Russian Silok-01 complex was presented at the Army-2018 forum four years ago. It is designed to protect control points by suppressing the operating frequencies of unmanned aerial vehicles. The claimed range is 4 km. As you can see, in this case, something went wrong.
