Have the Russians created a new “hunter” of Ukrainian drones? In this episode, we examine the captured Russian UAV “Sokol,” which was jammed and handed over for inspection by servicemen of the 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade named after Koshovyi Otaman, Kostia Hordiienko.
Can the “Sokol” really effectively intercept Ukrainian drones? What is known about this Russian drone, and why did it end up in the hands of Ukraine’s defenders?
There is a special story behind this captured drone. Two brothers serving in the military found the Russian UAV near their position. Later, one of them was killed in combat. Since then, for the soldiers of the 57th Brigade, the “Sokol” has become not just captured equipment, but a symbol of remembrance for their fallen comrade.
