Ukrainian drone operators contend with significant challenges due to GPS jamming from Russian forces, which compromises the reliability of their drone navigation. Without GPS, they must resort to identifying unique landmarks amidst a monotonous landscape, hampering operational efficiency. As drone warfare intensifies, electronic countermeasures disrupt communications and navigation, leaving operators uncertain about their drones' positions. This uncharted territory underscores a rising trend in modern warfare where reliance on satellite systems could lead to strategic disadvantages on the battlefield.
Operators have to look for standout landmarks instead, something that's hard in the uniform landscape.
Dimko Zhluktenko stated, "At the front line, there is literally no GPS...the drone thinks that he's in one position while, in fact, he's in completely another position."
