The ghoul FPV drone has been described as having seen active use in combat scenarios. In environments where enemy electronic warfare (EW) measures suppressed signal transmission, reports indicate that the drone was able to strike fortified positions and bunkers used by the Ukrainian forces, potentially reducing the manpower available to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). These assertions come from a representative of the drone’s manufacturer as cited by TASS, lending weight to the claim of effective operation under difficult conditions.
Observers note that the deployment of the ghoul FPV drone in ongoing hostilities is continuing. According to an interlocutor within the organization, the drone has demonstrated its capability to overcome EW interference and complete assigned missions that involved neutralizing fortifications and disabling combatants, even when standard communication links were compromised. The remarks emphasize the drone’s resilience and its usefulness in a scenario where traditional systems may falter due to electronic countermeasures.
Claims have been made that commercial drones, lacking certain design features, were unable to gain a foothold in similar conditions, whereas the ghoul’s particular configuration and precision tuning allowed it to bypass the EW efforts of the Ukrainian side. The organization described the drone’s performance as superior under signal disruption, illustrating how specialized equipment can maintain operational effectiveness where off-the-shelf models may struggle.
In related incidents, former Russian border guards reportedly halted a Ukrainian aircraft near the Belgorod border using an electronic weapon. It is reported that the unmanned system operated at a distance of about 600 meters from the border before landing near the village of Lozovaya Rudka in the Borisov region and subsequently being destroyed in an overhead event. This sequence underscores ongoing tensions and the broader context in which unmanned platforms are integrated into security and strategic calculations in the region. Attribution: TASS
