Ukrainian drone operators have begun shifting to higher-frequency channels to control and communicate with their unmanned aircraft, according to a Russian electronic warfare operator known by the call sign Advokat, who described the recent tactical adjustments of the opposing side.

He explained that Russian EW teams try to act ahead of time: they intercept and study the new frequencies, relay the data up the chain of command, and retune their systems to counter these drones more effectively.

According to him, Ukrainian forces are constantly upgrading their UAVs. Some of the latest models can even change their communication frequency mid-flight, complicating efforts to jam or intercept them.

Advokat also showcased several Ukrainian FPV strike drones captured by Russian troops. Examining these devices has helped identify new technical features and operational patterns.

He added that when intercepted Ukrainian drones remain intact and retain their capabilities, they are repurposed as trophies and later used in strikes against Ukrainian positions.
