Russian drone units have begun receiving new Spektr-K video receivers designed to withstand electronic warfare interference, according to the equipment’s developer, Sektor.

The system’s main feature is its ability to operate at frequencies above 12 GHz. The manufacturer claims this capability makes the receivers virtually immune to electronic warfare systems currently used by Ukrainian forces.

Sektor confirmed to TASS that the new equipment has been delivered to Russian military units operating in the conflict zone.

The Spektr-K package consists of a Spektr receiver and an analog converter designed to process signals in the lower frequency range. Together, these components provide coverage from 1,000 MHz to more than 12,000 MHz.

According to the developer, this extended frequency range allows operators to use parts of the spectrum where electronic jammers are currently absent and are not expected to appear in the near future.

Another feature is the receiver’s ability to operate on any selected frequency rather than being restricted to fixed frequency grids or standard communication channels.

The equipment uses a double-conversion superheterodyne architecture, which the manufacturer says ensures stable video reception even in environments affected by radio interference.

Sektor also describes the receiver as a universal system capable of capturing video signals from analog drones operated by either Russian or opposing forces.

This functionality could allow the device to serve as a video interception tool within electronic intelligence systems.

The company added that Spektr-K can easily replace a standard video receiver in virtually any ground control station without requiring a completely new setup.

Sektor, a Russian company specializing in equipment for unmanned aerial vehicles, develops products used by both military units and civilian drone operators.
