Because the drones are physically tethered to operators through thin fiber‑optic cables, they do not emit signals that can be jammed or spoofed.
But Israel lacks the industrial capacity of the United States or China, limiting mass production.
Instead of jamming, which floods the airwaves with noise, the ARM‑V transmits low‑power, highly precise fake satellite signals that override the drone’s receiver.
Russian tanks suffered catastrophic losses to portable anti‑tank weapons and drones.
