Russian "Molniya" UAVs are increasingly being equipped with digital video transmission capabilities

Digital video transmission systems are increasingly being detected on Russian “Molniya” drones. In the future, this could reduce the effectiveness of devices that detect analog video signals.

“Digital video transmission systems are becoming increasingly common on ‘Molniya’ drones,” Beskrestnov noted.

According to him, digital video may eventually completely replace analog video, primarily on winged drones. In that case, portable detectors and stationary analog video reception stations will not be able to operate effectively.

“That is why we should start thinking now about adding digital video detection capabilities to our interception systems. We won’t be able to see the images, but we’ll be able to detect the presence of a signal and determine its bearing (and warn the user of the threat),” Flash noted.

This was reported by Serhiy Beskrestnov (Flash), a special advisor to the President, on Telegram.
