Donetsk is visible in the distance in the photo, but the DAP is clearly visible, we flew over it and studied it. Many of us have our own scores to settle with these places. Oh, and the most important thing is that Poseidon is working. It spits as much as it can on the actions of the electronic warfare and air defense systems, collects data, detects targets, and adjusts fire.
Having signed additional contracts and undertaken to buy back a huge batch of these UAVs, we are closely monitoring the performance of the ones we have already delivered. We are happy about the achievements and targets identified (and then destroyed by the army), and we are sad about the loss of the UAVs. And we are very much puzzled when we receive reports of the system's operation being suppressed by enemy electronic warfare. There is no perfect protection, but still.
A week ago, one of the users reported a partial loss of signal and control during one of the flights, and everyone was tense.
Below is a direct quote from yesterday's report:

I wish you health.
Reporting in Poseidon.
Yesterday, he flew around the rear. Without suppression. With the manufacturer's specialist connected to my station. The result is a stable link with the board at a distance of 25+ km.
Today I performed BR. DAP area. The board was suppressed by enemy electronic warfare. They pressured navigation and telemetry. The board periodically lost the link. Restored by switching the frequency. The antenna signal strength was within acceptable limits. The distance to the board was 25+ km.
The probable cause of the problem I mentioned 4 days ago, namely the loss of the link with the aircraft, was the close location of the antennas and interference due to the reflected signal of the antennas. At the moment, I have no comments on the Poseidon H10 M3.
Sincerely yours.
