Цитата: ЦитатаOn its first day of flying – since a jamming incident on 22 July which caused the destruction of another SMM unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and its camera – an SMM UAV experienced what the SMM assesses as severe military-grade video signal and Global Positioning System (GPS) jamming in numerous areas east, north-east, north and west of government-controlled Mariupol (100km south of Donetsk). Both camera-feed and control over the vehicle were affected*.

Цитата: ЦитатаOn 22 July, between 08:00 and 08:50hrs, the SMM UAV experienced severe jamming, which began over government-controlled Chermalyk (33km north-east of Mariupol) and lasted 50 minutes. During the most severe jamming the aircraft lost navigational signal.

On 22 July, while flying south of “DPR”-controlled Sontseve (58km north-east of Mariupol), the SMM UAV began to be affected by jamming of its GPS. The decision was taken to abort the mission and return it to base. During the return, the jamming became more severe; due to that, the UAV crashed.
