Russians Have Begun to Serially Equip Supercam Drones With Interceptor Evasion Systems

Russians have begun to mass-produce radio detectors on Supercam drones that detect the approach of interceptor drones and automatically give an evasion command.

Radio technology specialist Serhiy Flash reported this.

“There is a regular receiver-detector inside that ”looks” for strong radio signals in all bands, and if the signal is nearby, a command is given to evade. Since an anti-aircraft drone cannot fly without transmitting video, the detector catches it,” he explains.

According to the military, this system is a serial, factory-made one, and “is already in most Supercams.”

It is worth noting that the Russians began experimenting with systems to counter Ukrainian drones in the fall of 2024. In October 2024, it was reported that ZALA drones were equipped with similar radio detectors for automatic evasion.

Also at the same time, drones were reportedly being retrofitted with radio jammers to protect them from Ukrainian FPV interceptors. According to the plan, the interference generated by the device is supposed to interrupt the video signal from the interceptor drone, causing the Ukrainian pilot to lose the image on the control panel.

In March 2025, it was noticed that the Russians started to install an additional camera on reconnaissance drones to detect Ukrainian interceptor drones and automatically evade attacks.

The technology is based on “machine vision,” which provides optical detection and selects a command for one of the evasive maneuvers.

Despite the complications for Ukrainian interceptor drone crews, they continue to successfully shoot down Russian drones. As of the beginning of September 2025, almost 4,000 Russian reconnaissance and attack drones have been shot down as part of the Dronefall project by the Come Back Alive Foundation alone.
