Russian UGV-mounted trench EW used with rear-facing antennas to down drones

The post describes a tactic where Russian forces place EW equipment on unmanned ground vehicles (NRK/UGVs) forward of positions and aim antennas backward to jam drones after they pass overhead, exploiting the stronger jammer signal in the drone’s rear hemisphere. It also notes a field-expedient endurance upgrade: mounting a gasoline generator on the UGV for prolonged EW operation. This is a practical adaptation of trench EW employment geometry rather than a new jammer model.
